yes and thanks

Thanks, yes.

sounds great

Go to your local pharmacy and ask for a couple of empty 3 ounce liquid medication bottle. Chop your beans and add 1 to 2 ounces booze of your choice. Shake it often. Do this ahead of time. I try to have a bottle on the shelf ready to go. It won't go bad and you don't have to do the scrape...

Use a blow off device, not a bubbler. Because you can't see the carboy, you might tend to not watch fermentation as close. A mess in the fridge is easier to clean up than a mess in a closet but it is still a mess. I switch to a S-type airlock before I start dropping the temperature as the...

I've had Beer Munchers Centennial Ale in a carboy for as long as 8 months with no off tastes. It's not a big beer and my beer nose is pretty good. It has been at 50 degrees or less the whole time and that may have contributed to my good fortune.

Amazing, easy to brew, easy to clean. FANTASTIC customer service. 20 minutes to heat strike water vs. an hour with a blichmann burner. Only 1 pot to clean instead of 2 and rinsing out the 3rd, an hlt. Running pbw in the EXCHILERATOR vs using a toilet brush on an immersion chiller. Steady no...

That be some very nice swag

IMO the crystal 120 is a bit high. I think you will get too much prune/raisin flavor. I've change all my "red's" to crystal 40 or 60 because of that flavor profile. Even too much 80 will "twang" it. I like the honey as it adds a bit of different something to the nose. I just brewed a red...

I have had great luck with dried tart cherries from the health food store. 3 lbs for 10 gal batch. The last 20 minutes of the boil. It extracts the flavor very well with no odd flavors. Does not effect/block the false bottom when I drain the kettle after cooling (immersion chiller and...

The Coronita Extra bottles are 7oz. But they are clear. I try to make 4 or 5 of them when I bottle as samples to try starting about week 3.

I have chilled in below zero temps with an immersion chiller. Need to do the hose hook up last second and turn off and disconnect quick once your are done. Also have left it on the driveway to cool. I was worried about the wind blowing stuff under the lid so I covered the top 1/4 of the kettle...

see this for info http://www.brewingwithbriess.com/Assets/PDFs/Briess_PISB_IGBrownRiceFlakes.pdf Looks like they go into the mash

I soaked grounds in some Grey Goose vodka for a day, then ran through the coffee filter directly into the carboy. No infection risk there.

Thanks
