• Posted in thread: Another US-05 experiment... temperature fluctuations on 04-18-2013 at 03:58 PM
  Looking forward to the final tasting notes. I predominantly use WL 007, but am interested in US
  05 to keep on hand occasionally purely out of convenience, and would love to know how slight
  temp differ...

• Posted in thread: Best Burner for 5 gallons brews? on 04-18-2013 at 03:08 PM
  My vote 100% is for the Bayou Classic Double Propane Burner (model) DB250. It is very cost
  effective, easy to operate, and as a plus, it gets your wort to a boil VERY quickly. I always
  do two 5 gallon...

• Posted in thread: The easy way to make beer... on 04-17-2013 at 06:53 PM
  Funny (actually that video wasn't very funny...), but I think some of my family actually thinks
  that is what making homebrew is like. Doesn't help I guess that up until recently I've placed
  my ferment...

  Sam Adams Latitude 48 IPA. Very crisp and clean - more like a moderately hopped lager. :)

• Posted in thread: BeerSmith 2 question re: hop-stands / aroma steep on 03-28-2013 at 09:54 PM
  Yeah, it seems somewhat logical how I've put it in (to me at least). Funny thing is, on the
  main recipe "design" page, it puts the "aroma steep" step before the "boil o min" step - which
  had me confus...

• Posted in thread: BeerSmith 2 question re: hop-stands / aroma steep on 03-28-2013 at 09:18 PM
  So I've been using BeerSmith for several months, and am getting most of it down pretty well. My
  question of the day is how to classify hops at the very end of the boil. The way I'm
  classifying the hop...

• Posted in thread: Finally got my fermenting chamber! on 03-28-2013 at 08:46 PM
  Thanks! I was actually a little skeptical of how cold it would get, and of the height inside,
  but apparently my eye-balling skills need improving. Plenty of room for 4 fermenters, and
  pretty compact o...

• Posted in thread: Finally got my fermenting chamber! on 03-28-2013 at 08:34 PM
  After months of unsuccessfully searching the local craigslist ads, I finally stumbled upon my
  new fermenting chamber! A restaurant/bar not too far from me went out of business, and I picked
  up an old ...

  No need for malto dextrine when you go all grain. You can control that variable with mash
  temp.Drop the crystal if you don't want the sweetness, but mash higher if you want to have a
  bit more body to ...

  That might overattenuate, and I think my yeast of choice now might be Denny's Favorite 50
  (Wyeast 1450) because it gives a fuller, richer mouthfeel. A drier finish might be great, but I
  like a more "f...
