In like Flynn. Thanks Spike's and HBT!

I recently listened to an old episode of Brew Strong on the Brewing Network that was all about metals and their affects on beer. I suggest looking up that podcast and giving it a listen if you're really interested in this subject. Jamil and JP covered it very thoroughly.

I might try this method next time (pre-soak in booze). It has worked well for me with oak chips on the Double Barrel Ale clone I brew regularly (I use Bushmill's and it adds a wonderful whiskey note to the beer). I'd use vodka though, like you, with the cocoa nibs, as I just want to extract...

Possibly any of the above. Just yesterday I listened to an old episode of Brew Strong on the Brewing Network, which was entirely about attenuation. I suggest looking it up and giving it a listen, it had a ton of great info. It was like the second or third episode, from way back in 08 or 09.

I've brewed Jamil's Chicolate Hazelnut Porter (kit from MoreBeer) a few times. It has you add the nibs to the fermenter after active fermentation subsides. I do it a little different and add them in the keg. I hang them in a hop bag from the lid with dental floss. I like doing it this way...

Mine are kinda rough under there too. Should be fine if properly sanitized. Wash well with PBW after use, sanitize with Star San before next use.

I'm not sure what you're looking for in the way of an update. As I posted above this was cancelled at the last minute from lack of participation.

Thanks everyone who showed an interest in this. Unfortunately there was only one person who actually said he could make it so I cancelled it. Maybe with it being MLK weekend most folks had other plans. Thanks to Biohazard for saying he'd show up. Maybe we can still meet up sometime and share...

39965 + 10 gallons Rough & Reddy Ale = 39975 Brewed it last weekend when it was still 2012. With that brew wife and I hit 100 gallons for the year :)

Brewing a 10-gallon batch of Rough & Reddy Ale today. Not sure if we'll have this one kegged up by the Meet-Brew-Share. If we do, it'll be a little "green" still. Anyhow this is where we'll be on the 19th, hope you guys can join us :)

OK looks like we've got a few solid maybes so far LOL... Each of you who are interested please drop me an email at [email protected] and Ill send you the address. I should have a keg of our Orange Blossom Honey Ale on tap :)

OK I pulled the trigger on it. See Here. I hope everyone who showed interest in this thread can make it!

Over in THIS THREAD we were throwing around ideas for a meet-up in the Temecula/Murrieta area. I'm just a tad north of there but I'm going to go ahead and pull the trigger on it so here goes... My wife and I are inviting everyone over to our place in Menifee, on January 19th for a HBT...

I'd love to host but after the first of the year would be better for me. Too much going on this month.

Wow it's been a while since I checked this thread bit it looks like we've got a few guys right here in my area. I'm only a few minutes from Murrieta, and Canyon Lake is just down the street :) I'd love to join in a HBT meet-up here in this area. It could be just a simple bottle share or a...

That looks like it might be a Beverage-Air unit, in which case it's an industrial quality. You can buy a replacement grate for the drip tray, just google online for Beverage-air parts sellers. There should be a name plate on it somewhere withe the model and serial number. Nice score.

Dunno, exactly. It just did.
