Tasted it a few weeks ago.... WOW IT IS GOOD! I hope it will become even better with age! If I could just make a change, I would try some DH cause it lacks a bit of aroma, since I haven't used any hops at 10' or 5'

Did you tasted the brew before bottling? Mine was a little tart... So, 3 months...ok.....

I had problems in efficiency too. I resolved crushing just before the brewday, "crushing until scared", conditioning grains with water to avoid too much flouering, pre heat the mash tun (I have a Coleman Cooler), 70 Liters and mostly, longer rest, usually 1 h 30 minutes. I do not fly sparge...

Hellllllo guys... The title is self-explanatory. Bottled on 15 May 2014 this baby here: Recipe Type: Extract Yeast: Belgian Strong Ale (BELGIAN TRIPEL - BLONDE) Yeast Starter: SI TASSATIVO Additional Yeast or Yeast Starter: NO Batch Size (Gallons): 5.5 (21 litri) Original Gravity...

Folks, do there is an all grain of this recipe? I would like to skip to AG definitely starting from this recipe

Heya! The brew came out tasty, golden-reddish colour, with low bitternes and low hop aroma. I think because our boil water was too little (2 gals). We put 3.5 g of cane sugar for each 0.5 liter bottle; sadly, is not much carbonated and there is absolutely NO head retention. When the beer is...

Big Hops, we did exactly what you said in the last post. I hope this brew turned up good; i´ll tell you gusy in the next days CHEERS

HEYA! After a very slow start (basement was too cold to start a robust fermentation) the baby sat heavenly on the yeasts for 14 days before it showed FG 1010. We bottled it next saturday (15th March) and now we are waiting 2-3 weeks to drink it.... The only thing is that I put (don´t know how...

Me and a friend of mine tried out the recipe. First, we used alluminium pots, and we found a little bit difficult to get the water at right temperature during the steeping of the grains. We were one degree less or one degree more the right temp almost half the 30 minutes... Another thing is...

Dump grains into preheated mlt and -oh- it's a 48q like in the US....the only thing we have in commone here with the US are Coleman's coolers....

I'll try with iodophor next time i'll go to my lhbs (which is a small small small small small shop and the guy there doesn't have any idea on how to brew. Cool, isn't it?)

i tried to remove those stains with muriatic acid and oh! cristal clean! I'll try with that.... or vinegar.... 1 tablespoon for bottle? or coffee spoon?

Do you know if bleach has any side effects on glass like....stains? I filled my bottles with MUCH bleach and water and let sit for like 10 hours and i have opaque-spotted bottles...and before this long soak they were perfectly cristal-clean. And i find almost impossible to remove this stains also!

Hello friends, i am here shocked to ask for help...... Yesterday i decided to bottle my beer, so i started to clean the bottles (which only needed sanitation). I put 4 tablespoons of bleach in each bottle, filled them with water and let sit for 8 hours. Every bottle's bottom was dirtless but i...

I mill everything besides rice husks. I'm building some muscles...
