I am looking to get in contact with some BJCP members in the Windsor/Detroit area. I have tried contacting the BJCP and due to privacy concerns (understandably so) it has not panned out too well. So I turn to YOU my fellow homebrewers who may be able to pass this on to members in the...

With the last two AG batches I have done, I have had a higher BG than was targeted. I believe that this is because I am using a new supplier and his crush is much finer than the previous supplier resulting in greater efficiency. Wort was cooled when taking reading. I know with lower BG, you...

Well, after two weeks and two days of primary, I hit 1.006 and the sample tasted pretty good....not sure if it was what I was going for. I will have to wait for it to bottle condition. My dubbel was 10x better after three months in a bottle, so I am anxious to see how it turns out.

Two pages of a thread I thought I deleted.......drunken ramblings indeed.

I added some boiling water to bring the temp up, but was not enough. Let mash for 90mins. Not sure if it helped or not as pre-boil gravity was 1.035 for 6.75 gallons. Decided, screw it and boiled until I had 5 gallons...the 2#s of candi sugar helped. og of 1.072 for my tripel.....hoping I...

Missed my mash temp.....tun was not as warm as I thought. currently at 143F. Was a little on the thick side to be safe anyway. Is the 143 ok to mash with??? or should I add more hot water. Doing a Tripel with 11# of Pilsner malts target was 152f.

Following the instructions in the Yeast Washing Illustrated sticky, I washed some WLP530 from a Dubble I made. Now following the instructions for making a starter, I made a 2L starter with 200g of DME. As far as I know, all sanitation steps were followed. I shook the growler containing the...

@ Nateo. I just did some follow reading about what you were saying and reviewed the instructions provided with the recipe. SO, with no other grains to provide enzymatic breakdown, how would the wheat and oats best be utilized. The instructions called for "mashing/steeping".....bad...

The oats and wheat were "mashed" for thirty mins @ 154. Longer next time? That may be it. 60 min boil. I always have trub and yeast in the bottom, but never a gallon and never gooey like this. Thanks for the feedback.

My buddy did up a Belgian Wit and after 14 days in primary, we went to bottle. When racking to the bottling bucket we noticed near the end that the colour of the beer had changed and stopped racking. About a gallon of thick jelly like substance was at the bottom. I have never seen this in the...
