I have been looking for a way to sanitize my raspberries without partially boiling them and releasing some off flavors and basically working with jam. I remember from when I lived in Mexico for a few months we use to soak everything in Grapeseed Extract. I am thinking about using it here, a few...
I bottled and there was a lot of sediment but after 3+ weeks of conditioning most of the sediment was stuck to the bottom. I now use a muslin bag with marbles and it works great. Also the Pliny kit from morebeer turned out great.
So far I have made the New Zealand Double IPA and I am currently brewing the Imperial Whiskey Oak Stout... All there receipes are awesome and I love unusual and complex beers. What are some of you favorite Austin Homebrew kits?!
I am currently ordering the title kit from AHS. Looks pretty good but I have a question maybe you guys can answer. I always create a starter for higher gravity beers and am going to make one for this kit. I use light DME for my starter and then pitch the whole 1000ml into the fermenter. My...
