    Man, I love Apfelwein

    Whoa, I just made a a batch of this with WLP300 and 4 gallons turned out very good in less than 4 weeks. I know it's not true to the recipe but the wlp finished fermenting very fast, about 5 days. Bottled it at 10 days, and just tried a sample after two weeks of bottle carbing. Smooth, carbed...

    American Pale Ale Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale

    This was my first AG. Missed OG completely (bad crush I later found out) so it's only a 3.5-4% beer. But nonetheless, I just tried a bottle after only a week in the bottle....and damn is it good for my first AG or by any homebrew standards. Thanks!

    Longest apfelwein ferment time?

    I have 5 gallons going at 58F for experimental purposes. It's still bubbling away after 2 months, and I just took a hydro reading: 1.030 :D

    I promised myself that I'd never make this thread

    Headspace isn't an issue, neither are your temps. either 1) you pitched to hot wort and killed the yeast (I think you would know this though) or 2) didn't activate the smack pack.. or 3) least likely: your yeast was D.O.A.

    For those with fancy pants wort chillers

    I seem some crazy double coil chillers going around the gallery pics. Noticeable improvement with one one of those?

    common sense: you just heat it up and serve.

    Off-flavor in New Belgium 1554

    I had that taste in all my extract brews. It was pretty annoying. First ag down that I just sampled--the taste is gone.

    How do you measure a gallon?

    Sounds corny, but I'm trying to find the reason I am frequently off (short) 0.5 gallon on my ag brews final wort volume. Measured out 4 quarts in a large pyrex (1 gallon) and it doesn't come close to the top of a 1 gallon cider jug. So, something is off.

    This hobby, and weed

    I know that, my friend. So did you smoke the kind buds? If not, you should--it's the ultimate hop experience.

    This hobby, and weed

    Just curious how many (admitting that is) find interesting patterns and parallels between this hobby and pot. Only one thing smells as amazing as fresh hops, and that's fresh HERB . :ban: I don't smoke or grow anymore, but the smell of buds, and hops, are the greatest. I grew in high...

    Aged double bastard?

    I'm thinking of buying a case of this stuff and sitting on it for a few years. Anyone tried aged DB and what are your experiences?
