Vienna tastes sweet, clean and smells wonerful. Make sure she shaves frequently or we could be talking about an infection like brytomycic. Propogate multiple starters, get the neighborhood to attend. Should ferment out quickly

I love that line, our last name is Porter. I see lables already. thanks!:rockin:

My oldest son and best girlfriend gets married sept 18 in vail thjs year. Would love to hear from others a recomondation for ag light, not ipa, easy drunker for the masses . alrrady have a peanutbutter stout and a westlaven but felt a lighter more subdued offering could balalnce out the party...

Yes, there were 2 lbs of laxtose and a pound of flaked oats that contributed to unfermentables. I'll post the recipe soon. It's not as sweet as you might think, likely the hops additions helped ballance it out. Giving it another week before opening a bottle to check carbonation. Was hoping...

Well, after a month or more the fg has stayed the same 1.030 from a 1.066. Bottled it today. Very toffey and chocolate carmel arromas but not much PB. Will take a couple weeks to bottle carb and report ba k then. Ended up using 3 cans of the pb2 at fo. Racked after a week anx ket stand for the...

Brewed this yesterday and used 3 jars of the PB2 at 15 min. Thanks for the advice, we'll see how it turns out in a month or so.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll try at least 1 lb at flameout

Getting ready to try something different and add PB2 to a stout for a peanut butter stout. 5 G batch and looking for suggestions on how much to use. My initial thoughts are to just try 8 oz. At flame out. Will that be enough or too much? Should it be added to secondary? looking for prominent...

Why not split your stuff into two fermenters, that should give you the headroom.

: Thanks for thee feedback CSI. After 5 days it's already at 1.012 and in the secondary. Seemed very strong and guessing that it produced fusels. This may end up being on the dryer side.

Brewed this today. Hit the temps but not the points. 1.057 pre boil, 1.082 final after syrup. LBS was out of 530 so I made a starter from wlp500. Used two fermentors for headroom. I dont have a temp. control for the ferms, but seem to be in the 79-80 range now 24 hours later. After a week I'll...

I haven't brewed this it yet, but have brewed the base nut brown several times. I like your idea of pretzels in the primary and extract! Hopefully I can get a few more ideas to consider here. Plan on brewing something up this weekend and be ready for Halloween. Whatever I brew I'll post the...

Have a nice 5g ag Nut Brown base that I'd like to change up and try for some caramel, salt and maybe pretzel notes. What do you guys advise on bringing these flavors out? At what step would one add salt and how much?

Been brewing for a few years now and this is the first time I've had my bottles carb in only 5 days. Did a dunkel with a 3L starter. Primary for 4 days, secondary for 10. went from 1.056 to 1.010. Stayed at 1.010 for the last several days so I figured it was good to bottle. Cracked open a room...

I made this almost a year ago and is the best beer I've ever tasted, not to mention brewed. Unfortunately I only have half a case remaining and wish I'd waited at least a year before trying even the first bottle. The taste just gets better with age. I'm cellaring my last 12 bottles for next...
