So when buying a seasonal any pack. d oez one so choose to save the best for last?

More pumpkin beers.

When would one want to add cinnamon to said, red amber wort for more of a spicey holiday tasting ale?

Me.

New Belguim's Pumpkick

I lowered my strike temps and mashed longer my measurements came out a bit better. Been awhile since brewed. Need to read Palmers book again. & the joys of homebrewing. Both batches are fermenting now. My stout kraused up quit well. And the red ale is still kind of we will see I guess. Thank you...

Doing 1 gal. A.G.. Mash for an hour? How about a certain temp? I steeped the grains at 162°.fot 25 minutes. Going for a red ale. Co-worker wanted me to brew for him. Hw wants a high A.B.V.

Tea.

And my process is steeping the grains for 25 minutes, remove grains. Bring to a boil. Boil for 60 minutes, then ice bath bring wort down to pitching temps. 70°. But I'm waiting to pitch tge yeast.

A.G. 2 Lbs. Of 2 row, .25 Lb of 40L, .25 of 120L, .1875 of 10L. I steeped this for 25 minutes. I guess my question about the 1.040 is. I thought 1.040 is not a good O.G. Number. I thought lower is better?

This.ia the second time I'm brewing just about the same batch. My O.G on this & my last batch came out with 1.040. Steeped for 25 minutes on both batches. Also came out tasting bad again.

Savvy. Bottom drawer of fridge this whole time.

I bave 4 ounces. Luckily I have a scale.

I have left over Chinook hops from me bad last batch 7/12/13 I smelled them. They smelled just fine. I do have another fresh bag. Just wondering if any one would still use the old ones from July, keeping the other for a furture batch?
