I'm brewing a Cherry Stout and planned on using this concentrate in my secondary: http://stantonorchards.com/store/ I found that this product is not pasteurized after contacting the maker. I assume I should find a way to pasteurize or is it ok since it's food grade? I'm thinking if I boil...

thanks guys!

Hey everyone, FNG here looking for a good Kolsch partial grain recipe. The only commercial Kolsch I've tried so far is Reissdorf (which is f'ing amazing btw) and I love the fruit notes this beer offers. To me, this is the perfect summer brew. I am hoping to get close. Anyone out there...

Welcome from WI. I just started my first batch, but noticed your post because I just returned from a vacation in The Villages today.

LOL, Jordan is my buddy. I also know the rest of the clan. In fact, I just saw Jordan at Noodles and Co where he's a GM. Me and that kid have tore it up a time or two!

Great pics. A friend of ours dad comes in from San Diego to race every year, so we'll be up to watch with yet another goon platoon.

I usually come up for the vintage race weekend. What a freakin great time that is!!!

Welcome Andrew. I'm in Madison and just started too. Man, there sure a lot of Wisco guys on this forum! As there should be....

I would definitely be interested in that! I may not be quite ready for it yet since I just started, but would love to try it down the road. Please keep me posted on your results.

That's awesome. One of my favorite beers of all time is their Copper Kettle. MMMMM. The brewery is not too far from me and I know a guy who works there that oversees bottling. I really need to grow that relationship!

Welcome from Madison. Just started myself. Anyone ever try to clone any New Glarus brews?

I used to be in the restaurant biz myself. I used a quat sanitizer for surface areas, but for the the tools I used 1 step. There is definitely some argument as to whether the 1 step is actually a sanitizer or not, but I am trusting due to all the reviews and the fact it came with my kit. I...

Welcome to the Hodag from Madison! I'm brand new to brewing too but have confidence because of this site. So far it's been a great resource. I also highly recommend the book How to Brew by John Palmer.

Sweet. Thanks @Pinto Bean!:rockin: This is the info I was looking for online.

I was at my LRSP store the other day and noticed a ready made spray sanitizer called Glitz. I used to work as a bartender and remember using this type of no rinse for everything. We used an EcoLab product, but the salesman told me it had the same ingredients. I always ran a clean bar and was...

Great. I plan to keep good notes and I will post the results. Thanks everyone. This forum has been just awesome for a guy like me!

Thanks for the clarification. Signed, The n00b.

I've read in "How to Brew" that the author recommends saving a little of the extract to add only about 15 min prior to cooling. Apparently it's enough time to pastuerize the malt while leaving a good amount for the yeast. Obviously this is not list on the recipe but the book says to do it...

You'd think you could just get pointers from one of the brothers up there! Hey from Mad town. I'm brand new and just getting ready for my first brew this weekend. I suggest How to Brew by John Palmer. It was recommended to me by a couple friends. I found it very straightforward. Since my...

Googled home brew. 3rd or 4th result. Must mean you're doing something right!
