Didn't think of that lol.. great call.. put it in the keg.. add a little gas.. bleed out the o2 and just let it go.. leave it in the fridge I assume ?

Question.. after the 2 weeks when u rack to a secondary could you just move to a corney.. add the Jameson vanilla mixture and allow it to age in the keg ?.. or should you age in a secondary carboy ?.. I'd imagine most of the fermentation would be done after the initial 2 weeks ?.. just curious...

Just added to my keg to Carb last night... can not wait to try this... smelled amazing

Brewed this Tuesday .. had some issues with previous batches carving in my basement as its too cold... took a shot and put this down there wrapped up in a blanket... fermentation deffinatly took off as there's a good few inches on krausen ontop.. just not " vigorous " as described before... I...

We moved into a new house and the basement stays very cold with the air on so no it was well.under 68.. you think it'll be ok just simply moving to a warmer spot in the house

I just bottled this 10 days ago.. put two in the fridge last night for today... cracked the first one and poured... zero carbonation.. I tasted it and it tasted sweet ( per the priming sugar).. not sure why it didn't Carb.. I brought up to a warmer part of the house to see if that helps but does...

I've never made a starter and had never had a problem with a well shaken room temp vial of white labs blowing through the airlock in the first 24.. even producing higher gravity clones of things like mad elf ( 10% abv)... haven't noticed off flavors but then again I've never brewed with 2 vials...

Forgive me if this was answered but is two vials of yeast necessary if I'm in no hurry? ?.. couldn't I just let it sit for 3-5 weeks to completely ferment out pitching just 1 vial of the white labs.. thanks alot

10 days in the secondary mark is tomorrow.. gonna let it sit till Tuesday ( full day off) .. and bottle some to share and keg the rest.. out of all that I've brewed this has been the hardest to wait for LOL.... cheers

Its a bit of a haul from my house but Giant Eagle Market District for the win... found it

I did .. they had everyother flavor except the limeaide lol

OK I can't find the simply limeaide anywhere around Pittsburgh.. simply lemonaide everywhere just not limeaide.. even target was a no go... help.. anyone found it around here or is there a replacement limeaide I can use

Jumping in a different discussion... I started making smaller batches (2.5 gallons).. gave me right around 1 case of homebrew.. when I bottled I used the ratio of 1/2 cup corn sugar to 1 cup water.. boiled .. dropped to 70.. added to bottling bucket then racked ontop and bottled... never had a...

Finished brewing this yesterday.. added a whirlfloc tab as I'm weird about clear beers LOL but smelled incredible with the cinnamon and pineapple.. can't wait to taste this. Cheers for a recipe that I can already tell is going to be on tap in my "cave" for a while

Did I miss it LOL but when do u add the lb of brown sugar? ?.. was just gonna add it with the dme at flameout pre boil... thanks guys
