Sounds like I will be crushing them! Thank you for your responses! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have been brewing for a year now. I am having a slight brain fart. I am making an all-grain moose drool clone. So there is a lot of dark malts. I am wondering if I am supposed to crush those dark specialty grains? Or leave them whole? For some reason I thought I read somewhere that grinding...

I currently keep three kegs inside a spare fridge in the garage. I am looking to build a keezer when I can find a chest freezer for the right price. Once I get the freezer, I would like to use the spare fridge as a fermentation chamber so that I can brew any type of beer all year round. My bday...

No, I am doing all grain with tap water. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks for that idea. I brewed it in early march. Sat in primary for a month. Sat in secondary until two weeks ago when I kegged it. I can't peg what the deal is... Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hello all, I was just wondering if anyone on here has brewed this before? What are your thoughts? I ordered this all grain kit and am planning to brew soon. I was just curious as to the peach flavoring additive. Should I add the whole bottle? Half? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Haha I was being slightly sarcastic about the unnatural phenomenon! :) as for fermentation temp, it kept a constant 65°f throughout fermentation. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I would really have to think back and I can get a better list once I get home, but one was a California v yeast I believe, and a kolsch yeast strain... I can be more specific later... Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Ok so for the last four batches or so of homebrew I have made, I have had a strange aftertaste. The bet way I can describe it is as bubble gum. I can't tell if it is coming from my kegs or if it is something in my brewing process... Anybody have any experience or ideas as to what is causing this...

Good to know, thanks for the info... Looks like I'll be adding half a cup then!

Ok cool... I can't wait... I'm not a total wine person so hopefully this will taste good! Did you mix the sorbate and campdem with the honey and juice mixture before racking on top of it? It scares me adding more fermentables and the preventatives at the same time...

I have a 1 gallon batch of this fermenting right now... Probably been going for close to a week and a half. I am just wondering about back sweetening... I'm assuming the 6 oz of juice is measured by volume, but what about the 6 oz of honey? Volume or weight?

So in other words, if I want to get a refractometer for honey I will have to get a separate one for my homebrew?

So in other words, yes I'm an idiot! Lol for some reason I had in my mind that 64 oz was a gallon. Obviously it's half a gallon... Dunno where my mind goes some times... Thanks for clarifying the obvious for me! Haha

So I am planning on mixing this up in a couple days. I have been reading through the thread and no one seems to have the same question as me, so I must be an idiot, but I am really confused by this part of the recipe... Balance water if you need it to make 1 gallon after adding honey mixed in...
