Are there any other places to get the canning machine besides eBay and Oktoberdesigns? I assume that those that are canning force carb in a keg. What is the feasibility of carbonating in the can? Once the beer is at the desired carb level run them through a heat cycle to kill the yeast.

11,839 + 3 gal Belaying Pin IPA = 11,842

Software did the math, I have problems with 2+2. Brewhouse eff was 44%, mash eff was 53%. OG - 1.050, FG - 1.020 What's the difference between the two? Free tips and advice are one of the best things about this place. Always seems to be someone who has run into every problem that come up. :D...

Sorry I took so long to look at the replies, and thanks for the info. 7% to in the 4% area. I'll check out that thread It's an IPA I did in Beersmith. No specific reason for that much dextrine. Had never seen a guideline on what you should use. The beer ended up fairly good, the ABV...

I have a recipe I like the taste of and want to brew a lower alcohol version. What are the ways to do that and still maintain the taste/color/etc of the recipe?

Devil's Backbone's Cattywompus, used to be called Congo. They label it as a Belgian inspired IPA. Absolutely horrible. Like drinking a marginal IPA strained through dirty gym socks.

Cool. I have some in the fridge, and I want to store them at room temp without them carbonating.

I know this is a sidetrack, but casking (the way y'all are talking about) beer is putting it in a container that can "breathe" at cellar temps without any extra carbonation. Is that more or less correct?

Has anyone done this with swing top bottles?

Too early for me. But you have to plan brewing around everything else in life. Meant to brew this yesterday, but didn't have the time once I got done with the household duties. So I did some upgrading to the brewery. First time I've had this beer, it's pretty good. Nice coffee bite at the end.

The good life of a stay at home dad. Kids off to school, a batch of beer mashing early on a crisp fall morning in Virginia. Appropriate beer to have? Sent using magic pixie dust

How/where are you storing it for aging?

Ok despite the warnings at the beginning of this topic, I'm calling EdWort & all the rest of the contributors motherf**kers. This stuff is GOOD! Put it all together on June 1st, only change was that U used brown sugar. Sat in primary until a week ago, when I back sweetened with 3 cans of AJC...
