A longer boil will get your OG up as long as the volume is still fine. Otherwise you may consider adding some extra light DME. With boil issues you volume is probably high as well so longer may fix it.

He never said he didn't like beer. Just not the alcohol, or the bittering hops. A dry hopped malted milk shake might be perfect for him. Hmmm. Now that I think about it, that doesn't sound half bad. (or horrible I can't decide)

Sure there is. You fill it to the top so the mice don't fall in. They will just swim a couple of circles and crawl out, freshly sanitized. :)

I found a mouse in my beer ehh....and like I think you need to give me free beer. First thing I thought when I read the title.

I just found this. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/reviews/agata-super-agata-bench-capper.html It may help. This is the model I got from my friend and it worked well. Getting it set for multiple heights was a little bit of a pain but not bad.

I ended up getting a bench capper from a friend and never used it until I went to bottle my pumpkin ale last month. I had emptied a bunch of Wychwood King Goblins for their unique bottle (as if you need a reason to empty a few King Goblins) and had full bottles when i discovered that the wing...

I'm going on Fri. First time. Next year I will join the Brewers Association for the added Saturday session (and pre-sale tics) :ban:

I'm a cheap a$$ and so when I have a couple of cases ready to chill they feel free. I try to keep myself from thinking about how much the actually cost. Those trout last weekend were about $20 per lb. after adding in the gas $ but I tell myself free. All kidding aside, I think good beer...

Nothing wrong with a "kitchen sink" batch to use up leftover stock as long as you have room in the pipeline for a potential "bad" batch. It will probably be the best beer you ever brew and will never be able to duplicate it;). If your just talking hops and they are all C's, you should be fine...

That added protein should make for a good break. :)

I'll take a code. Thx.

Are you thinking that the priming sugar would have altered it or did you not check it before bottling?

I like the English Ale glasses because you can pour it to the side and then finish right down the middle, get a nice looking head (better than the pic) w/o worrying about a spill (the bubble seems to contain it). Releasing the CO2 will help with the flavor and aroma. I pour until I see a...

Nope that's not normal. Blue caps? You'll want to wrap those up and send them to me right away. The other pic, that one looks just fine.

I tend to agree. For a bunch of beer drinkers, some of the folks here are wound pretty tight. I had a hard time telling if he was pulling our chain or not. I honestly thought the "flamenting" was a hint the he might have been flaming. If so, wow did it work. The "arse" comment was out of...

I'm gun 2 try some o'that alki pop stf :) Sounds good and a big hit with the ladies I'm sure. o'course ben that it's flamenting it may be a big hit with the guys too. (Sorry for the blatant braking of rule #7 but I had to, I couldn't help it)

The other purpose of the secondary is the fact that your primary is now empty. Time to brew another :ban: Oh and don't worry, your beer will be fine.

Isn't THIS ^^^^ really the whole point. My guess (and only a guess 'cause I wouldn't wan't to come off sounding like a know it all noob) is that just as many experiments end up making crappy beer and they say "my next batch I will ..." rather than quitting all together. I would also add...

Or add some Extra light DME kept on hand in case of an inefficient mash? Edit: Sorry pawn I didn't finish reading your post before the Quick Reply. I'm going to blame the Guinness Black Lager .:tank:.

+1 on Imperials and high gravity beers. They need to age. But at a party you'll want folks to have more than 3 before their ripped anyway :tank:
