Any tips for making the candi sugar at higher elevations, in Denver and already burned 4 batches, that is with using a candy thermometer

Just an update, I did pick up a Corona grain mill, made a larger hopper at work, tested it out and surprisingly it worked great. Came across a 1/2 hp motor, now to set that up so it will be independently motorized. (not using a drill.) do have concerns though as I have had the grinding plate...

Awesome count me in

Was your all grain version still for a 5 gallon batch or did you increase your batch size with that grain bill?

count me in

Thanks I will check it out.

Was looking into getting a grain miller. wondering if anybody has had success long term with any of the ones on amazon, or should I just get one from the local homebrew store?

Just transfered to the secondary yesterday, must say smells and taste great so far, was almost tempted to transfer straight to the keg.

Just brewed Nilo's #6 version of the blue moon, pitched yeast about 20 min ago, hit the OG on the mark, will see in a couple weeks how this turns out. Figure 2 weeks in primary, 1 week secondary, 1 week keg, set and forget, blue moon is a favorite at the house so if it turns out good I am sure...

Well made this last night with the neighbor, smooth brew session except the fact that we drank to much, swmbo is quite mad at me this morning, but hey the neighbor gave me a 20 lb CO2 tank for the keg setup so ummm it's all good.

You should be able to find it in any local grocery store. Out here Kroger stores carry it, but I would think that Safeway, Ralphs, or Stater Bros should carry it in the frozen juice isle. Been a while since I lived in California not sure what stores are out there.

Just want to thank Wayne1 and Nilo for all their contributions on this thread. Plan on trying this brew this upcoming weekend. :mug:

Thanks for the suggestion, this will be my plan of attack. Now to go to Amazon to order a gauge for the propane tank. :mug:

Brewed this yesterday, with 30 min left in the boil I ran out of propane on my burner. so I quickly transferred it to the stove to finish out the boil. Unfortunately in all the chaos i forgot to add the Irish Moss with 10 min left. So now I plan on using gelatin when I transfer to the secondary...

So I took a SG @1.059, transfered to secondary to help clear as my keg system is not set up yet, keep finding to many projects to do, took a gravity reading @ transfer and I am @ 1.00.

have you thought about using 2 bottles of the McCormick Valencia orange peels, so basically 3 oz. to substitute for the 1 oz of sweet or bitter orange peel. Just wondering if that would be too much orange. Recipe already calls for 1.5 oz

Meant apple cider

Do you use apple juice or split cider

Thank you will be starting this, this weekend
