I'm sure this has been covered somewhere in the 2300+ posts of this thread, but the search function of this app is less than reliable so I'll just ask: anyone making their own flour from spent grains? If so, what differences do I need to be aware of from store bought white flour? Thanks in...

Yeah, it's for an IPA that I'm turning around quickly. Don't care about yeast character since the half pound of hops will hide any regardless. Hit terminal gravity in 36 hours btw. With 3 days of dry hopping I'll be kegging it Saturday morning and drinking by Sunday evening. Zombie dust clone...

+ 5.5 blonde + 5.5 blonde w/ kveik + 5.5 blonde w/ kveik and passion fruit + 5.5 saison + 5.5 saison w/ blackberry + 5.5 zombie dust clone w/ kveik + 5.5 zombie dust clone w/ kveik and galaxy hops = 1219

Just racked an IPA into the cake from an 8 day blonde ale, literally 10 minutes in and it's bubbling away like mad. I even cold crashed the blonde, the yeast cake was at like 60F and I racked 100F wort onto it. Took off like a damn SpaceX project! I love this stuff.

+ 5.5 blonde ale + 5.5 blackberry saison + 5.5 Thanksgiving ale + 5.5 holiday ale + 4 strawberry brandy barrel aged RIS =8720

Next time add your total to the tally, it's a running count for the whole thread. 303 + 6 = 309

Should be 4490.5

We're currently at 4335.5

Lol no no, each year we keep track of how much has been brewed by the forum. So this thread is everything from 2019: your beer, my beer, everyone's beer from 2019 all added up. Make sense? So next time you brew, say 5 gallons, you come in and add that to the latest total.

This is a running tally, next time add your brews to the latest total [emoji4] 4300.5 + 35 = 4335.5

4295.5 + 5 gallons blonde ale = 4300.5

That's what I thought. I'll pay the extra few dollars for private carrier rather than risk it.

Isn't it illegal to ship alcohol via USPS, vs merely against policy with ups/fedex?

Get a big enough chest freezer and treat it like a keezer build without the taps. I used a small freezer that fits one carboy because I usually have my other batches brewed with the season, chamber is mostly for lagers as I'm also in SoCal but in the dead of summer I do put an IPA or two in...

I use BIAB so take this for what it's worth, but I've set up the mash in the morning, gone out for family time all day, and done the boil in the late afternoon with no issue.
