• Posted in thread: does anyone brew in their conical? on 05-06-2013 at 07:17 AM
  Seems too good to be true but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work. Let us know if
  you try it.The only disadvantage would be waiting until fermentation is over to brew again, but
  if it mak...

  Brewing an Oktoberfest. Never out of season as far as I'm concerned! Plus, I think I read
  somewhere that "Marzen" is "March" because the style was traditionally brewed in March. This
  one won't make it...

  Thanks for the responses. I,was going to crash the secondary in the kegerator for 24 hours and
  then keg. My fridge only has low med high setting so not sure what exact temp will be as I
  donte have the...

• Posted in thread: Recipe help! on 03-02-2013 at 12:56 PM
  I've never brewed a mild, so I won't suggest a recipe. Maybe someone else will. But I would
  suggest searching the forums for recipes with good notes/reviews/feedback, and comparing them
  to decide whic...

  In my experience, 7 days is more than enough time, and some research suggests that leaving them
  for too long has negative effects: study didn't replicate your average homebrewing situation,
  so I wou...

• Posted in thread: Kettle strainers. What do you use? on 03-01-2013 at 11:09 AM
  I recently started no-chill brewing and got a bazooka screen. I've found I don't have much of a
  problem if at least a substantial portion of my hops are whole leaf. But when I do have
  problems, it's b...

  US-05. Want to keep it clean so the Saaz can shine through. I was thinking that if the recipe
  turns out ok, an interesting experiment would be to try witbier yeast.I got the idea because I
  had extra p...

  Pilsner base, Saaz-(triple-!)hopped IPA. Should be interesting...or not.

• Posted in thread: This will do in a pinch! on 02-24-2013 at 10:24 PM
  Will do any day for me. Torpedo is one of the few grocery store-stocked beers I'll never get
  tired of. Especially considering the price. Around here it's usually a couple bucks cheaper for
  a 6-pack th...
