  Hello Again The most common hop of the day was probably a cascade. The yeast? well that's
  anyone's guess. I think just plain old yeast was probably used the most as there were probably
  no sophisticate...

• Posted in thread: Fruit in primary, after fermetation is complete on 05-20-2010 at 07:29 PM
  You're going to get a lot of conflicting responses, but let me start it off. Putting fruit in
  the primary AFTER the initial fermentation is the best way to go. There's less risk of
  contamination, beca...

• Posted in thread: What do you think of this Imperial Hefeweizen Recipe? on 05-20-2010 at 07:12 PM
  Somebody who does a lot of extract brewing needs to chime in here, but from what I
  recall...Extracts tend to finish with a higher FG than if you were to mash the grain yourself.
  For a beer that big, I...

  And that retailer would be on my list of "never buy from" and "spread the news about their
  practices" list.Yeah, even though the "retailer" has a good reputation, the incident left me

  everyone (including...

  Ummnnn, I still think you need to bump up the wheat. Maybe do 6-7 pounds of wheat and 4-5
  pounds of pilsner. Also, for your first Hefe, you might want to go with WL300. I feel like
  that's the gold sta...

• Posted in thread: Crystal Pellet hops on 04-13-2010 at 07:40 PM
  Ummnnn, that recipe calls for only a single 60 minute hop addition (1/2 willamette, 1/2
  crystal). No offense to BM, but you can use just about any mild flavored hop with the same
  effect. At 60 minutes...

• Posted in thread: Critique my IPA Recipe on 03-08-2010 at 05:23 PM
  It actually looks pretty close to perfect to me. I've used the "mix it all up" method of
  hopping plenty of times with great results....I tend to like my IPA's drier, so I'd personally
  mash at around 1...

  Can't you just dose it with some potassium metabisulfite? Metabisulfites are used to prevent
  oxidation and spoilage in wine. Why not mead?

  You also have over two pounds of crystal malt. That's most likely your problem. :mug:
