I just had the same thing in my choc milk stout with cocoa nibs and vanilla beans. I kegged it anyway, and two weeks later... its pretty darn good!

29985.5 + 5.5 DIPA = 29991 + 5 Chocolate Milk Stout = 29996.0

Thanks James... Excellent job getting it together despite the uncooperative weather. ..!

If the bottles I get have lefrover dried beer. I oxyclean them in a rub of water for an hour, and rinse. The day of bottling, star san them. After that its easy to maintain clean bottles. Immediately after drinking, rinse with cold water and star san the day of bottling.

Nope, I never mess with it. It doesnt look pretty, but thats it. Dont risk infecting your brew.

I also rinse with water after drinking. Star san the day of bottling. Never an issue.

My whole batch is already gone. :( Ill be making this again!

Yes it does... LOL!

I used year old frozen hops. They are perfectly fine.

What type of yeast did you pitch and what is the temp of your wort now? If it is too cold in the room, that may have stalled activity. Nomal ale ferm temps should fall between 68-72 deg. If that is the case, get an electric brew belt from your lhbs or fermwrap to bring up the temps. Swirl...

Plus 1 on the stir plate w liquid yeast. I use that 99 percent of the time unless I get very lazy. Definately worth the money.

2545.925 plus 5 of a pliny the elder equals 2550.925 2550.925 plus 5 of a milk stout equals 2555.925

I have never tried that and I do the same thing when I use dry yeast and always have slow starts. My last batch I bought some yeast nutrient. I added 1tsp to the last 10 mins of the boil (for a 5 gal batch). Huge difference, it was bubbling within 6 hours. Ill be using this stuff for all my...

It will settle out. I use hop bags so that the hops dont clog up my chiller. If you want to catch some of the junk, try using them next time. For now, dont be concerned, it will settle to the bottom like already mentioned.

Do we have a timeline for a pickup date yet?

I just pulled my first pint from the keg of the Pliny the Elder clone from the AHS kit (all grain) And WOW it is good!! It is much better than I thought it would be. It has a nice floral aroma, a little piney, citrus. I expected the hops to be overbearing because of the amounts you put in and...

I got a little over 4.5 gallons. I definately lost more than anticpated and there was a ton of trub! I have never tried the real pliny since they dont sell it anywhere in my area. It will be tough to compare it to what it should be like. It smells real goos though!

I bought mine from Austin Homebrew. I just kegged it today and cant wait to see how it comes out!! The hardest part is going to be waiting for it to finish.

Another vote for the barley crusher. I love it, and it is a solid mill for around 120. Worth every penny.

I agree with most everyone here. A huge benefit is buying unmilled grain my the sack. It saves a ton of money in the long run instead of buying a few pounds here and there. You can save even more if you get in on group buys where a group of people split 2 pallets of grain. My lhbs is an hour...
