Quite the ruckus :D

I usually just leave my "normal" gravity beers in the primary the entire time. Beers that are getting dry hopped, have fruit additions, are getting bulk aged, etc go into a...

Thread necro, but since I thought this was an interesting topic (as it seems like I had actually experienced the "autolysis boogeyman,") I figured I would post it up.

I'm planning a new batch of cider today, and my 2011 edition holiday (cookie) ale tomorrow. Kinda late for the holidays, but better late than never!

Yep, I think I'm going to bottle it and forget about it for a while. I don't have a lagering fridge, but it can stay in my cellar at least.

Now that I think about it, this is a possibility too. The airlock got low at least once...not entirely dry, but it may not have been completely airtight. I've always read that oxidation gives a...

Yes, boiling did the trick all right. The batch of caramel cider/graff with the wort boiled came out great! It has a nice cider taste, a bit tart, but with a slightly...

I'll admit, I did not take an OG. I guess I must have felt it wasn't necessary , since the sugar content of the concentrate should have been a known variable. Maybe Welches grew super grapes last...

I put a small space heater in the closet with the wine, and got it up to 72 degrees now. I gave the wine a gentle swirl for a few minutes as well just in case the yeast needed some rousing.

Yep, I'm pretty sure that's what did the 2nd batch in as well. I applied some of my ideas here (mainly the carmelized malt) to a batch of Graff that should be about ready to bottle. So, I'll soon...
