I'm looking specifically for 1-2 regular HALLERTAU or Mittelfruh hop rhizomes to plant in my garden this Spring 2023. I am German and located near Pontiac Michigan area if that matters. Am looking for a friendship gift from a kind fellow homebrewer and I will provide you the prepaid...
Heres a good porter recipe. The coconut is optional. In your case as you see its 6 # LME which you have PLUS 1# DME and 1# candy sugar. If you dont have those i suggested Molasses or Brown sugar from the grocery store. Good luck and get well soon...
When you can't use your kitchen sink or countertops anymore because there's no space left its all full of beer bottles.
When your bottle tree is bigger than your Christmas tree and the cat starts climbing it. ;)
I personally like coconut porter. Just add 1 pound of coconut flakes from grocery store pre roasted in oven 350 degrees 10 minutes.
Also consider upping your abv %. Only 6.6 Lme is too weak for a proper porter. Consider adding 1-2 pounds Dme, molasses and or brown sugar to give it a kick up.
I like to add a # of real honey to one up the abv % boost for only 3-4 $ and give it a nice sweetener. The natural goodness of the honey preserves the beer as well. If i dont have honey ill use molasses or brown sugar at $2 a pound but i always avoid table sugar and corn syrup.
I buy 2 kits of a very strong beer such as Dead Ringer Ale when it goes on sale. These come with 9 pounds of LME and 5 oz hops each. Then i split up the 18# LME and the 10 oz hops into THREE batches of #6 LME and 3 oz hops which makes a decent hoppy beer. I stretch two kits into 3 this way, and...
Heads up y'all deal hunters. I just purchased 4 kits for $71.77 postpaid which is $17.94 per kit ! Well below my $20 target.
I think this is a phenomenal deal so i have to share it.
These are all 5 gallon extract kits ; most all have 6 # gold lme, 1# grains and 1-3 oz hops and are 1.04x OG...
Swap offer. I have Nugget Hops growing in my backyard. 3 years old winter hardy northern strain. I can offer to swap out just a few rhizomes, im really looking specifically for _ Hallertau _ hops rhizomes this spring. Peace ✌
I have some potted hops plants that are now on their .third. season left outside during extremely cold michigan winters way below freezing and they always come back in the spring. I just cover them with leaves in the fall and leave them be (pun intended). In the spring lightly brisk away the...
Here's a neat trick i use because im old and dont like lifting heavy fermentors just to move them around so i found these at Harbor Freight tool store for $8 its perfect sized and they work great for big mouth bubblers and regular better-bottle brand fermenters also. Very heavy duty wheels solid...
Hi y'all im stumped about the proper temperature to pitch wine yeast. Specifically Lavlin 71b-1122. Because the package clearly says to pitch at 104-109 degrees fahrenheit or 40-43 celcius. Yes it does. This seems very hot to me ...like enough to kill it? I would never do a beer this hot! Ok...
