I used 2 beans in a vanilla milk stout a while back. I soaked them over night in Jameson whiskey then added to secondary for 2 weeks. Worked well the vanilla came through well. Could have used 3 I think

Another bump to this brew I made this batch again, only change was I upped the chinook in the boil. Mashed at 149 - Again, all went well, numbers were really good, .068og to .011fg into keg. At 10days is good, and at 14 days will be even better I bet. Still used my conan yeast, but they are...

The good news I can share beside it being awesome fresh is it holds up for a while. Only getting better really

It's just about gone, but this was it. This brew was all around perfect for me. I am not sure I would change a thing.. red lantern did you brew this?

Thats one option, I use the set it and forget it method - Set to about 12psi (after sealing the keg with about 20psi) and leave it sit for 7 days or so. Then start sampling, usually about 2 weeks is prime time for NeIPAS

I doubt you killed it. I transfer by taking the lid off a purged keg, stick the siphon hose to the bottom and fill it. All I make is IPAS, and I have yet to kill a batch. C02 is heavier than 02, so opening the lid yes will allow some 02 in, but that c02 is not just going to fly away. Your...

Ok, fail proof for me, and I learned this one from my x-wife - and I have actually recently given her credit for teaching me yet another life lesson.. Glass of water, over the sink, upside down. So basically lean over the sink, head down, put the glass to your bottom lip and drink as best you...

Quick thought suggestion Simcoe yes, maybe break it up like 25 - 15 10? Citra/Columbus Flame out 20 min steep Whirlpool 2 steps with a mix of simcoe and citra Dry hop simcoe #1 and 2nd dry hop with citra. I love vienna in my ipas.

Thank you day_trippr. I guess I haven't thought about bottling in a long time! There is heavy amounts of dry hopping in this batch, so I told him to try and leave a lot of trub behind. But I'm sure he will get the yeast still in suspension. It's a quick schedule should be bottled in 12 days

So I gave up bottling a few years ago. Since then I have been kegging only. But today, I brewed a 10 gallon batch with a buddy of mine. I keg, he bottles. We split the brew into 2 5 gallon fermenters, he took his 5 home and plans on sticking to the same schedule as me, but bottle it. I...

Everything went according to plan. Og is a .069 (guess my efficiency was a little better than expected) Hoping I still finish at a 12 or 11. The smell on this batch was unreal. Reminded me immediately of my trips to tree house. Going into the ferm bucket the aroma was strong. Much more than...

Nice, well I am all in for tomorrow morning, Starters started, hops an grains purchased. Equipment cleaned and sanitized. Bru n water calculations done, beersmith adjustments made. Notes on hand.. 8am start. Here is the updated recipe 5 Gal 9lb 2 row 2lb white wheat .75lb GNO .5lb Vienna Mash...

I have 1 starter i will pitch. I want to make another starter from 500ml I pulled off the original 1500ml. So I have 2 1litre starters. And save 500ml from the second to keep my conan going.

I am doing a 10 gallon brew in Saturday. And I made up a 1500ml stater of my conan. Last night I put 500ml aside in a mason jar, to use for my next starter. Been doing this a while now. But, then decided I didn't want to split batch with 2 different yeast. So you think I would be OK if i made...
