Don't worry. Your wort will generally try its best to become beer if you don't do anything adverse to it

Interesting.. the thing that intrigues me about the southern tier is that it tastes ALOT of chocolate. Not just "alot for having no chocolate in it" I'm after something with a powerful chocolate drive in it wich the stout backbone.

Update.. checked in 12 hour later and it was chugging along, so either its the yeast working or we got crazy ammounts of contamination lol =)

Thanks for all the great tips. I was letting the yeast settle too long.. thus it got thicker than the trub under. =)

Wow.. brewed this today.. as a BIAB.. just dont.. I'm sure the beer is wonderful.. but the ammounts of trub you get with this as BIAB.. took us 6 hours to brew since we had a hard time getting the temps up cause of the mash being so thick (should have gone for a smaller batch) but alot of trub...

Also. I'd love to boil without the lid. But if I do I'm stuck at a simmer. Hopefully I'll find some equipment to boil lidless

Thanks for the tips. I will make sure to check them out. Regarding the dme. The 1 kilo added is about 2 pounds so I'd say it was correct calced. Did a new brew this weekend which was a lot more controlled. I'm thinking bad beginner luck. Though even by following biab steps to get as much from...

Great tips.. I did use a pitcher, but my experience of pouring from this ptcher was that I got good and thick yeast into the cans but at the center of the slow moving thick yeast was a small "river" of darker brown trub going with it. I should try the auto siphon thing. How long do you leave the...

Thanks for the reply =) Just for discussions sake.. anyone have any tips on how to achieve a smoother pourover so the trub wont flow over the yeast into the storage vessel?

First off, thanks for all the replies, second I'm thinking that it might not have boiled down enough either, I have a 24 Liter pot thats tall so it'll fit on a stove burner. I've normally kept a lid on or at least halfway on the pot to keep the heat in so i get a good boil.. maybe I need to do...

Hi, I just washed my yeast for the first time and the main difference I'm seeing compared to yourube videos and stuff is that i get some of the trub with me over to the storage. I am carefull not to let the trub come there but the trub seems to be more easy flowing than the yeast and when...

Hi we just brewed our first or second batches of beer this weekend. I've been studying up on homebrewing for the last few weeks and we felt prepared to take the plunge so to say. Anyways, we encountered some really odd stuff. We created all our recipies in beersmith to check that they were...

Any update on how this wored out for you? I'm interested in cloning this beer as well. It has a insanely intense chocolate taste that no other beer I've tasted can get close to =) So good =)
