I figured I would run these by you guys before I brew this time. Does this look right for a stout?
3lbs Light Ale (LME)
4lbs Dark/Chocolate (DME)
1oz Galena (60mins)
1oz Chinook (30mins)
1oz Northwest Golding (10mins)
1tsp Irish Moss
5 Gals.
O.G. -->1.0536 O.G. = 3*36/5=21.6...
I came up with this recipe and everything looked fine:
4lbs LME Wheat
2lbs DME Wheat
1.5oz Haullertaur (60mins)
1oz Tetnanger (5mins)
Wyeast #3068
Boil in 3 gals
My problem is the O.G. should be 1.075ish with my calculations, but I came out with 1.045. Also, my primary fermenter...
I'm kegging most of my 5 gallon brew. However, I would like to bottle 12 of them so I can hand them out as samples. I have set aside 1-1/4c of DME, but how much would I use in each bottle to get me the correct carbonation?
I just tried my first batch of beer (IPA) and I must say AWESOME!!! The flavor and bitterness is where I want it! Add carbonation and voila! THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR HELP!!! You guys are so knowledgable and helped me through some jams! Beermaker for life!! Thanks again!:rockin:
I want store beer in a corny keg until ready to drink. How do I pressurize the keg to seal the top, then set it and forget it until I'm ready to hook it up to drink?:confused:
This is my second batch and I want to jump right into partial mash. My last one turned out not too shabby for a first time brewer (thanks to everyone's help!!!!), but I want to get some experience and truly understand homebrew so I can create my own recipe. Any ideas for a recipe for a partial...
I'm trying to bitter up my pale ale because I didn't boil my hops when making my wort (earlier post). I need to know how much water I should boil for 1oz of hops. I already have 5 gals of beer but I need to have a strong tea to bitter it up...Any suggestions? My final gravity is 1.012...
This is my first brew and it happened to be a partial mash. I made to the first fermentation ok and it is going like crazy (love the Wyeast packs). My fermentation lock however went from clear to now filled with sediment and a cloudy beer liquid. Is this normal or do I have too much pressure...
This is my first attempt at homebrewing. I have this book I have over 5 times trying to be as meticulous as possible. One question I have is boiling procedures. When I first throw in my hops to my wort it says to boil for 45-60 minutes. I am making a pale ale and the book says to keep the...
