I have 2- 5 gallon batches that have been fermenting for 6 months and am ready to keg them. I haven't taken either of them to secondary yet. They have been sitting doing nothing for the passed four months and have added no chemicals agents appose to cider blueberry pom juice sugar and honey . I...
I have been buying it at the Broadway Market in Buffalo. I have also heard about hens honey farm in Pendleton but have not contacted her yet. Thank for the update. I might give your guys a try next batch.
Well its been 13 days in the fermenter and I think its ready to start secondary. The SG started at 1.070 and finished at 1.020. I did alter the recipe a bit to have a slightly higher ABV thinking stouts should have a little heat to them for the cold winters.
Switched from Nottingham to...
I'm looking for Bells Two Hearted Ale so I can harvest the yeast to make a clone. I have some Rogue Dead Guy Clone that will be done in a couple days and a Chocolate Stout that will be ready in 2-3 weeks that I would be willing to trade.
Thought it would split at the seam before coming out the top.It kinda reminds me when I get inpatient and put beers in the freezer and then forget about them.
Sorry for you loss
I have the same problem. I started mine on 9-08-12 and fruit has not dropped yet. It has started to slightly clear which I am happy about. I am worried that if it does not drop soon the fruit and cloves will over whelm the honey as I have heard from other people. I did add 1 extra pound of...
I can attest to that ...and for absolutely no good reason. Its the motion of the ocean not the circumference of your braid.... Am I right guys or am I standing alone on this one.:smack::smack::smack:.:off:
But in all seriousness I do agree that the manufacturer is the root of the this issue...
Well I brewed 2 batches today with a SS toilet connection and everything finally worked like it was suppose too. After comparing the two the braids on the water heater hose & toilet hose I bought, I could see some sun light through the toilet hose but the Heater hose was pretty solid with no...
Kegged my first beer and was not sure if about a few things
1. If I'm not dispensing beer can I turn the c02 tank off after I reached the desired carbonation?
2. How much does it take to carb a keg? I did two 5 gallon kegs and almost half my c02 is gone from a 5 pound bottle
Anyone try this recipe with vodka soaked nibs in secondary for a couple of weeks instead of cocoa powder in the boil? I here you get a better chocolate flavor without the mess. Also there has been a number of people complaining of stalled fermentation and was wondering if anyone found the cause?
I am making a AG chocolate stout tomorrow with someone else's recipe that calls for Nottingham. I did some reading and found people complaining that it petered out and left the stout way too sweet. The recipe does call for 16oz lactose which might be why those people see high FG. From my...
Sorry to ask so many questions but did you cut slots or drill holes and if holes how big
Also were holes on top, bottom or both.
Thanks for the info. I cannot screw this up again.
