  I am thinking of building a mash tun with a chest cooler I have laying around. I have a 48

  I guess that was my worry. Maybe I should check the temp overnight and ensure that it stays

  I really would rather not use extracts. Would I be okay adding the spiced vodka to the bottling

  I am bottling. Originally, I was going to dry spice, but I really don't want to secondary, so I

• Posted in thread: Do I need to secondary? on 11-01-2012 at 03:26 PM
  I am brewing a holiday ale that calls for dry spicing cinnamon and vanilla after fermentation
  is complete. Do I need to transfer the beer to a secondary to do this or can I dry spice in my
  primary?
