When you cooled your wort, was the final temp lower than room temp? It could be warming up to room temp.

I figured I'd check in to say that I have this one almost gone. Although it could've used some improvement, it was my first attempt at a partial mash, so I'll chalk it up as a success. It didn't hold a head for any appreciable length of time, but that was probably due to "operator error". It...

One option, if you have a cabinet that has the space to allow for something like this: 4.6 cu ft Fridge to 10.1 cu ft Fermentation Chamber Conversion This was just the first one I found in a quick search. Just build it as a kegerator instead of a ferm chamber. I've seen other projects that did...

That would be 18636 gallons, actually... :mug:

I went with the revised recipe. I'm going to see if I can hold off on opening one, until my birthday, in August. Probably won't happen, though...

I finally got around to bottling my batch of this beer. Since I made it as a 6 gallon batch, but forgot to compensate on the dme, my OG was only 1.047. Due to laziness, it sat for almost four months in primary. I took a grav reading of 1.012 tonight, giving an ABV of 4.5%. I tasted the sample...

I'm a New Brunswicker, seeing a Newf, transplanted to Alberta... :D

Do you have any Wild Rose Brewery available over there? They're from Alberta, and they make a decent IPA. Now, having said that, it's the only IPA I've had aside from Keith's, so I don't know how it would compare to the IPAs the others in here have had. Incidentally, if you can get your hands...

I think I might try molasses... would I just use the regular stuff I have with my bread, or should I get unsulphured blackstrap molasses?

Thanks for the tips! for the first, I was thinking of keeping it basic, just these grains, lme, and a hops like Fuggles, as you said. Maybe I'll take your advice, and get a little creative (read as: get creative ideas from you guys) with the second batch. The oats, btw, weren't duplicated; I...

*bump* :D

While I was home for the holidays, I had ordered two batches worth of grains, for a Nut Brown (which I'm ready to bottle today) and an oatmeal stout (which I'll be brewing soon, hopefully before Wednesday) - both partial mashes. Well, when I went to pick up the order, it turned out they had...

In my Nut Brown that's in primary, I did a Partial Mash, BIAB. I decided to do most of the boil with just the mash/sparge wort, following the hop schedule as the recipe called for (it was originally an AG recipe.) I added all the DME with 15 minutes left. Incidentally, I hit 1.058 on an expected...

+6 gallons Nut Brown Ale 1381

I used Notty in my Nutty :D
