I do not want to know how many drink beer in the shower then P in the shower:!!!!!!!

1,) Why use a secondary , bad idea for this IMO ( I would only use secondary for adding fruit, aging high ABV etc. ) you increase risk of bad things for no return on it IMHO 2.) Why dry hop for 7 days one/two should do the trick? Conventional wisdom suggests more than this can add...

Very awesome store, well done indeed!

I just bottled one 5 gal batch and brewed another one today :ban:

Try rinsing a couple glasses REALLY well, then chill them down and see IF it makes a real difference :mug:

UPDATE: It's chugging away @ 65* the US-05 is doing what it's supposed to at this point. I fully intend to have this bottled and be drinking it for the 4th with our son and his wife (IF she likes it LOL) Nice Krausen at this point this will be an interesting Beersperiment I believe More of...

Whether you use pantyhose/cheesecloth (whatever) always sanitize anything that will touch your beer (including how you fasten the (whatever) to the auto siphon- you'll be glad you did IMO

Maybe, but I already brewed it as I stated we shall see LOL Smelled awesome and was sweet (as expected) but flavor was phenomenal for non- fermented wort - I think it will be a "winner" . Youngest son is NOW planning on coming for the 4th so this will be a "test run" for the other LOL I have...

Sorry I must respectfully disagree!!!!!!!!!:D :mug:

Rather than run out and buy a "kit" I have 6# of Amber DME, some Crystal 20L , US 05 ;Cascade 2OZ and Willamette 1 OZ hops(pellets) on hand , thinking I can make a great beer with that which would make him pretty happy??? Not exactly sure how I'll decide to do that brew but I can't imagine it...

AFAIK he's never had good homebrew so I may just make it and have him enjoy it, IF he thinks it's "close" that would be "OK " also LOL

Simple I was asked IF I could and having never tried I like the challenge

I mean adding the hops(pellets) to the boiled sugar water, which from what I have read here seems to be the best bet of keeping some good hop flavor/aroma when bottling.. It is the Hop flavor /aroma of these two I'd like to get close to (nothing else) actually Well, my long time buddy asked IF...

Really no one has an ideas on which hops would get somewhat close to the flavor I am hoping for??????
