I have been using my mash tun for many years but think it is time to treat myself to a new one. So… Why don't the igloo 10 gallon mash tuns come with thermometers. I do not know why all the kettles come with thermometers already attached. (at that point you would just be boiling the wort so...

I am having trouble getting the hop aroma out of my pale ale I would like. My beer is clean and drinkable but I feel it is missing the hop aroma I would like. My last attempt generally followed the BYO may june 2005 magazine. I make a large batch, I yield around 65 litres of beer. (Basically...

Yeah that's exactly what I experienced 5 years a ago while brewing a Lambic. That is what I planned on doing and these posts confirm this is the best approach. Thanks for the help everyone! The pale ale is ready for Christmas so all is well!

ok so I am done the first stage and the fermentation is 9 days old with no bubbling out of my bobblers. So I have to add the Brettomyces. Would it be better to get this going in a starter? or just drop it in to the beer and wait. I would prefer to accelerate things (in hopes it is ready for...

Thanks for the help. That makes good sense and agrees with I have tasted while using these crystal malts with different ratings:tank:

I am going to be making a big batch of sierran nevada or summit pale ale clone. My recipes call for crystal of diffirent lavibonds? you know the "darkness" I really do not care if it comes out dark or light as long as it is clean with some nice hops in it. anyways. can i substitue any of the...

I bottled 100 litres of my lambic. The problem is i forgot to add yeast for the two thirds.:( I did remember sugar. Do you think it will carbonate? Thanks for your help in advance. The last third i remembered to add sugar and yeast.

I had 100 litres of 3 year old lambic beer. for about two thirds of the bottling I remembered to add sugar and forgot to add additional yeast.:confused: The other third i remebered both sugar and yeast. Do you think the 3 year old yeasts in the bottles will take to the sugar and carbonate...

anyone have a clone for this??? Regards Richard

fermentation will occur NOT at 40F. I follow the guidleline in the email i sent you. I believe 8 days is to short to ferment for a lager. 2-3 weeks (some people say 4). The times I ended the ferment under 2 weeks, the beer did not taste as nice. In your case you have ended the ferment at 8...

Heh whackful. I am a lager brewer as well. considering your first situation. That is being short on yeast. With two packs i don't think you are incredibly short though. What you did was smart. The worst thing I have ever done to my lagers is under pitch & put into a 50F situation. It will...

Why do some purchased beers give me a hangover? Anyone able to answer this.:mug:

I have a slightly cloudy lager. Anything I can do to fix this, as it is lagering in my keg after the fact. It is not really a big deal but I was curious.:tank: Regards
