    Cooking with homebrew

    Apfelwein in a beef chili. Pork chops marinated in my Canada Day tradition, Maple Wheat beer.

    5 gallon kit only nets 43 bottles?

    Even the size of the bottles can come into consideration. The grolsch bottles I use in bottling hold 467ml, compared to around 350ml for a standard brown beer bottle. Understandably, I get less bottles filled...

    Spent grains pile stolen?

    I guess those tricksy animals are hotwiring cars to get their food now. :D

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    A bit of yeast nutrient when you add the yeast will take care of that problem. I put in about a teaspoon or so, and no rhino farts.

    The Joy of Brewing???

    Going down into the basement storage to grab myself some graff, and SWMBO asks me to bring up one of the big bottles instead, as she wants some too. :rockin:

    So..Did I order a kettle thats TOO big?

    I suppose I'm missing something, or not understanding how IBU's are calculated or how hop utilization works. If the boil is a full volume boil, how does using 0.5 oz of hops give the same IBU's as a full oz of hops in a 3 gallon boil? Wouldn't that make the IBU's lower?

    Help Me Figure Out How to Brew With Back Problems

    Another option may be a brew buddy.

    Beers with pop top (pry off) bottles

    I'm going to check if I can do this when I get home from work. If so, all those hobgoblin bottles I have storing until I get a bench capper won't be sitting idle any longer!

    Beers with pop top (pry off) bottles

    Hobgoblin bottles have the same problem, due to the bulb underneath the crown.

    Quick Turnaround Beers

    Thanks for pointing this one out! I'll probably try this one alongside the Maple Wheat I've been poking at. The maple wheat idea is thanks to sithdad's wheat beer reminder; I forgot those are meant to be drunk young. I think this will be in there as next in the schedule.

    Quick Turnaround Beers

    At the moment, I bottle.

    Quick Turnaround Beers

    Hoping for a bit of input from fellow homebrewers. I'm looking for some quick turnaround beers. I know Biermuncher's Centennial Blonde is a rather quick one (and already going in the fermenter) but I need at least 2 more that have around the same turnaround. Any input?

    Carboy/ Keg Cleaner Giveaway

    Count me in! I could use one of those. The bristle-brush I have is... lacking.

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    So I made this today, and hopefully, the water problems were what was causing the problems with taste whenever I tried it before; used some reverse osmosis water instead of tap water. 5-gallon batch, and got an OG of 1.051. Seems a little high. Unfortunately, also wound up with Munich malt...
