Your acid malt percentage looks good and tart. Similar acid malt percentage and o.g. as a gose I brewed a year ago. Came out good, and didn't add the acid malt late.

For the most part, simply doubling the recipe works. The hop utilization goes up a smidge, so you can cut back on the boil hops, or have a couple more IBUs. Check out one of the brew calculators online to see the effect. It's a minor one. http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/calculator/

As long as it's dry and smells and tastes good, it's good. It will be more prone to mold now that it got wet. I'd use it as son s possible. Good excuse to brew this weekend!

It's not absolutely necessary. I have about a dozen bottles that still have labels on them. It can get confusing in the fridge or beer swaps, so I don't give away bottles with a brewery label on them.

Five pages in and nobody has mentioned Oyster Stout?

Oh great, now when I want 2000 pounds of beer, I'll get 11.2 oz? :drunk:

Absolute weirdness. I was just talking to a co-worker today about this beer and found this thread and this recipe. The recipe doesn't seem right though...it lists Simcoe at 4.75% AA, while I always thought it was usually over 10%AA. :confused: edit: this one seems more realistic.

Check out the recipator. I've used honey a few times. Works ok, but it takes a little longer to carb the bottles. Lately, I've been using dried malt extract (DME) with fairly quick results. By the way - I've tried to convince myself otherwise, but there is no difference in flavor due to the...

I did a SMaSH with Summit and 10 lb Marris Otter: FWH 1/2 oz 60 min 1/2 15 min 1/4 5 min 1/5 0 min 1/2 dry 1 oz It didn't last long! (meaning no onion - we druck it)

From Randy Mosher's book Radical Brewing: Hold Your Nose Gose (5 gal.) 1.5 lb Pilsener malt (you could sub yout pale malt) 1.0 lb acidulated malt 3.5 lb wheat malt 0.5 lb unmalted oats (oatmeal) 1 lb rice hulls (I've brewed this recipe w/o rice hulls and w/o problems) 1.0 oz spalt...

Is it just me, or was (is) the audio horrendous? I mean is the on-air announcer supposed to be completely drowned out by the background? Heck, there's better audio engineering when I watch public access coverage of the local junior-high basketball team. The only thing that makes it...

I have a Blichman thanks to SWMBO. The burner looks like the banjo to me. According to Blichman's site, they developed their own burner, so there might be a difference internally? I dunno. Maybe just the regulator is different - the Blichman uses a 10psi vs. 30 psi for the Banjo. Personally...

I haven't seen this before, but I'll take a guess: The water inside the tun will only rise to the level of the top of the outlet pipe. No need to dink with balancing the outlet and inlet valves. The outflow will always match the inflow. Now, if you don't mind I have to go to the bathroom...

1) DME, if kept dry will store almost indefinitely. If you add more, you'll bump up the ABV. It's up to you. 2) Crystal 20 will give more flavor/body and color. As for style, that's up to you -it's YOUR BEER after all. 3) Nottingham should be good. If you are going to buy more...

I'm sure RoaringBrewer has marked his carboy(s) by now - but for those who haven't: 1. Get a bucket that your carboy will fit into. 2. Put the carboy in it. 3. Fill the tub with water until it is the same level as the carboy. 4. Mark the level of water in the tub. 5. Remove carboy...
