I ended up soaking with hot water a few times, and then leaving water in for 3 days. It was a bit leaky, but I ended up certainly losing initial flavor bump having tasted the water I dumped after the 3 days. I tried to restore some with adding bourbon and maple syrup back in which helped a bit...

Hey guys - came back to a case I had bottled (keg carbed) about 2 months ago. On one or two of the bottles, it looks like someone shook the beers up. There's a bubbly head on the top. I know no one has touched them. Photo below. I had cold crashed these puppies and force carbed them so no extra...

I can buy the 10# oats, by the way, or can split it with someone if anyone is interested. Dave

Thanks Tony. To confirm, was this the white wheat malt or the flaked white wheat?

Hey guys - any takers to close out splits 14 (flaked oats) and 19 (flaked white wheat)? Only 5 lb left of each.

Plan on doing this later this year! Gonna brew up a slightly modified version (may drop the rye and add a touch more caramunich), and then do as a first run on my rye whiskey/maple syrup barrel.

yeah, would recommend looking at the original stand I posted. It's rated at a few thousand pounds, and has cross slat supports to support the weight. you can still do multiple tiers in the one i posted. you set the height of the shelves that you want, and could just use an angle grinder to cut...

We've made a few upgrades since then, but it's still going strong. The slots for the cross supports actually make great places to hang hooks and mount pumps/switches. You can see in the photo that we use the uprights to also dry out our silicone hose. The cart has gotten fairly wet from wort...

Hi all! Hope this is the right sub forum for this. I received my first barrel today - 8 gallon rye whiskey barrel, aged once with maple syrup. I'm really excited. Here's my quandary - the maple syrup has crystallized to a good degree on the inside of the barrel. the wood seems pretty dense...

Got one in primary myself!!

Awesome! Will do, and likewise keep us posted too.

Has anyone messed around with doing a yeast starter from tepache? It's a fermented beverage from panela sugar and pineapple juice popular in Mexico. My girlfriend and I made a batch and I've taken the dregs from the ferment. I am doing a starter now. Flavor after fermentation for tepache is...

Exactly why I'm asking ;) Want my beer to stay cold but still be able to be dispensed in period vessels!

Hi all. So I had a kind of crazy idea to turn an old barrel or nail keg into a portable jockey box. Basically, you'd fill the inside of an old 5-10 gallon barrel with waterproof insulating spray foam, add an SS coil on the inside, add a beer shank and tap, and a beer line in from your corny...

first NE IPA - El Dorado, Mosaic, and Azacca, ringing in at 6.5%. The profile keeps evolving in the keg.. quite good.
