• Posted in thread: acidulated malt in Porter on 01-02-2013 at 06:22 AM
  I recently brewed a dry stout (Guinness-esk if you will), in which I added 1% acidulated malt
  to the grist. There was definitely a sourness to it that was easily perceivable, but not so
  much so that i...

• Posted in thread: Way to high mash heat - stuck fermentation at 1.042 on 09-01-2012 at 05:59 PM
  I mashed at 162 on a porter some months ago, and my FG bottomed out at 1.034. This was much
  higher than expected, but I didnt mind too much as it was a porter and it was still pretty
  good. There are m...

  Your hop schedule suggests an american barleywine. If that is the case consider WLP 001 Cal
  Ale.I thought about WLP001, as I do with all my beers. However, I am also starting to be a
  little more adven...

  Take the 45 min amarillo addition and toss it in at flameout or 5 mins. I like my chinook
  boiled at least 15 minutes, so I'd add the chinook at 15 and add the cascade at 5. Swap out the
  004 for 007. I...

  So.... I was thinking today that I wanted to try a big barley wine style ale, but I also wanted
  to make a black wheat ... Then I thought " what if I did both?" henceforth... 2.0 gal batch -
  all-grain ...

  Something similar happened to me two batches ago. I pitched Nottingham in a porter, could
  clearly see some fermentation occurring due to bubbling of the airlock, but there was no
  krausen at all. Ferme...

  Don't forget there is nothing wrong with trying what sounds good to you regardless of its
  typicality. I mean, there are certain things that should be followed like using a base malt for
  conversion of ...

  Just in case anyone is interested in what happened; the beer has been in primary for two weeks
  now. I took a gravity reading after 6 days and the gravity was at 1.034. I waited one more day,
  took anot...
