• Posted in thread: Yeast starter for high gravity beer on 03-25-2013 at 04:41 PM
  Is there an issue with using 3/4 cup DME and 4 qts with 1 vial of liquid yeast? I'm planning on
  a Belgian Tripel using WLP500. If I give it 2-3 days, will that produce a similar larger
  volume? I'm pla...

• Posted in thread: glacier hops, anyone use them? on 02-07-2013 at 02:50 AM
  Anyone try first wort hopping with Glacier?I am thinking of adding 2 oz of Glacier to a 4
  gallon batch during first wort. This will be a small vienna and rye grain bill for an APA.
  Glacier has a 5-6 A...

• Posted in thread: Forgot to strain hops from primary fermenter on 01-06-2013 at 05:58 PM
  On my 7th-ever batch last night I decided to strain the hops out of the wort. I noticed that it
  also provides aeration, perhaps better than the whisk I had used in the past. I think I will
  strain goin...

  I may have missed it, but for those who have brewed with tea, when did you add it?For me,it was
  at steeping for this partial mash.

  Funny I read this after I brewed something similar last night. I'm new at home brewing (5
  batches) and am sticking with smaller volume (2 gal) for fear of messing up and being pressured
  to drink 5 gal...

  I'm a fan of the hard way, process is fun! But an alternative is needed to be said: just use
  less bottled spruce flavoring. I made an extract batch of blonde ale using 1/4 of the 1 oz
  bottle in a 4 ga...

• Posted in thread: Hops for wheat beer all grain on 11-20-2012 at 01:47 AM
  My third ever batch was a wheat beer with chinook. For this 4 gal batch I used .75 oz chinook
  for 60 min. and .5 oz cascade for 15 min. Two and half weeks later it is way hoppy, good for an
  IPA. That ...

• Posted in thread: How much Chinook is too much? on 11-20-2012 at 01:41 AM
  As a nooby, what is the flavor difference from pellets at the LHBS versus straight from the
  vine? Anybody do a real taste test?

• Posted in thread: bottled too soon? on 11-16-2012 at 04:20 PM
  You're gonna be fine. Before I learned of long fermentations and I was too lazy to go to
  secondary, I commonly bottled in less than 2 weeks. Not as good as the beer I brew these days,
  but still drinka...
