    American IPA Hopslam Clone

    Hey Southside, Is this to be brewed with the same hop schedule as the AG version? And for the Vienna, Cara, honey, and dextrine, are they just steeped as specialty grains for 30 min, then a 60 min boil with late addition 10 lbs of lme and honey at flameout? Sorry for all of the noob...

    Irish Red Ale "Drunken Lullaby" Irish Red

    Danger, I'm so sorry for being super annoying, but I have another question/request. So I looked at the extract bill, and without any specialty grains, I felt like i was really missing on your recipe. My thoughts were, Eff it, if I'm going to make a Drunken Lullaby, I'm going to do it as...

    Irish Red Ale "Drunken Lullaby" Irish Red

    Is it possible to make this as an extract batch? If so, what adjustments need to be made? Any help would be appreciated, I really want to try and brew this on Saturday!

    Aging in wooden barrels

    I believe barrels used for aging are either charred, or affected in some other way. I think some barrels used for beer have already been used to age wine/whiskey.

    Yeast harvested from bottles

    OK, so following people's suggestions on this forum, I believe I successfully harvested some yeast from 6 bottles of Oberon. I stepped it up a couple times, eventually to a 1L starter of 1.040 wort, which the yeast ripped through. I then decanted the wort and poured the slurry (completely)...

    Harvesting bell's yeast. primero

    Hey guys, sorry to revive this, but what happens if while I'm cold crashing, some of the yeast freeze? My thoughts are that while my freezer was cooling to 35 degrees (johnson controlled freezer), it may have dipped below to cool, and froze some yeast. Should still be viable right (Considering...

    water volume for steeping

    Didnt specify but this is for extract brewing. So wouldnt i be steeping for color and such but not looking for fermentables from the grain?

    water volume for steeping

    For steeping grains, is it ok to use a full 5.25 gallons of water? Or should i stick to a smaller volume, adding the rest for the sparge/ boil. Id heard to steep at around 1.5 gallons.

    Oatmeal Stout

    I believe i steeped 45 min at 150. I think that parts up to you though. Best to use would be rogue pacman yeast, but you can only get it from one carrier (forget who). I used white labs american ale. Im out of town so cant get to the exact strain.

    Decanting a commercial yeast harvest

    I'm trying to create a starter of harvested yeast from 6 bottles of Bell's Oberon Dregs. My only remaining question is really just how do you decant? So far, I've made the initial starter of DME, water, and dregs. Let it sit for a few days, cold crashed for 24 hours. There is a cake at the...

    Oatmeal Stout

    I can send you an extract Oatmeal stout recipe that is AWESOME. I just made it. I did 4 weeks in primary then bottled 4 gallons, and racked the remaining 1 gallon onto some coffee. I don't have the recipe with me, but can send tonight.

    Have not seen this wort chiller before

    +1, he's exactly right. I did this last night. I used a compression fitting to join my 2 20' copper coils together. Then you have to buy a barb, and either a male or male and male to female end for your sink. My sink actually had a removable spout, which allowed me to bring that in to...
