It's a crystal malt, 140-155L (dark roasted) here it is: Special B Malt | MoreBeer They appear to be out, but it's not hard to find...:mug:

I'm Going to soak some cubes or chips in bourbon for a couple weeks. My question is, should I just pour the "tea" in my secondary and leave the oak out? Or put the oak in with it? Either way the liquor is goin' in:drunk: just curious if it's essential to put the wood in or not. I'm sure there's...

I realize it was just an experiment, but if it catches my exploding Belgian yeasties I'm doin it! I fully intend on getting flasks and a stir plate, but I just threw down for a propane burner and 30qt SS pot:rockin: Must wait a while before SWMBO will let me procure more equipment... So the...

No doubt! There was 1/2" of slurry in the airlock! (which was full. Again.) I actually poured off the StarSan/wort and threw the yeasties back in... Not buying any 2 or 5 liter flasks/ stirplates in the near future, but I'm certainly riggin' up the 2 growlers per Clementine's idea :mug: This...

6 hrs after pitching to the 2nd 1litre starter.... and my airlock looks like a shot glass o Irish Cream! Was going to step up again but eff that! I think this will be plenty to cook a 1.090 OG beer!:rockin:

Clem- that's a great idea! I don't have flasks but I do have a 1/2gal growler identical to the one I used. Have to try it next time- I'm mid boil for round 2 and don't have spare tubing

Regardless there's a nice sized cake that I'm about to step up- hopefully won't find myself prying an airlock out of the ceiling:rockin: I'll post an outcome later

Alrighty... Still fairly frothy but I'm pretty sure it's done- just stuck it in the fridge, and got meself an Arrogant Bastard bomber while I was in thar:drunk: decanting tomorrow a.m. and makin a step up....Maybe using a blowoff this time!

Oh yeah-I sprinkled about 1/4 of a capsule of Servomyces in the boil! :ban: I figured that might make it a bit more vigorous, but sheesh! Glad I randomly decided to stick it in my bar sink! OG was on point, fermented at around 72-74 degrees. I was going to step it to 2L after it mellowed out-...

I made a 1qt starter yesterday afternoon (my first) stuck it in a 1/2gal growler with an airlock, I shook it every once in a while.... Had a good krausen last night.... This morning (8ish) there was some blowoff in the airlock, swirled it a bit... just checked it a couple hours later and...

Well said Binaryc0de:mug:

Wellllll...... After perusing all 13! Pages of this thread... I'm brewin this one:rockin:

I'm totally brewing this one! Subbing Centennnial for the Warrior (+1oz, 4 total) and Amarillo for the Cascade (same weight). Caravienne instead of 20L...haven't picked a yeast yet, but leaning towards the 500. Grain bill arrives in the mail next week, lhbs run for the yeasties! :rockin:

Right on man, I'll be one of the Mikes- with a red n' black star tat on my neck. and likely a Stone Brewing shirt

Bigscience- I just joined the mailing list for Cascade last night! I'm planning on catching the next meeting in August. Stoked :rockin:
