Franklin's in Hyattsville, very close to College Park. Restaurant, Brew Pub. Fun place. http://www.franklinsbrewery.com/

I have a question. If I were to do a cold crash and then immediately bottle while the beer is cold (38 - 40 F), shouldn't I adjust my priming sugar level? I ask cause the one time I did a cold crash and bottled it cold, it was way over carbed.

What did you come up with for a final recipe? I got 4 oz of Citra and Amarillo each and looking for a good recipe. Thxs

Buy this Book: Brewing Classic Styles: 80 Winning Recipes Anyone Can Brew by Jamil Zainasheff. I recommend it to everyone, especially if you are starting out.

I use Sierra Nevada and Sam Adams bottles. Never a problem with either. The Sams take up less shelf space but I prefer the 24 oz SNs.

Easy. Sierra Nevada

Sharpie on cap with style and bottling date. Ex "PA 511" Pale Ale May 11th.

I have done both, muslin bag w/marbles and just dumping them in loose, and I am certain that I get much better results by just dumping them in loose and waiting seven days. After seven days, they are preatty much sucken to the bottem and I just rack off the top leaving the residue behind. I...

Kolsch made with 2-row?? Kolsch is a pilsner. I think that's why your color is off.

I too had the same problem. Great tasting wings but rubbery skin. Then I read somewhere where a BBQ guru would put there wings, uncovered in the fridge overnight. I tried it and it works. It requires planning but I unpackage the the wings, lay them out on a cookie tray, and put the tray in...

Like BioBeing said "Make more beer". I only use the 7.9 buckets. I can make larger batches (6 - 6.25g) and there is less chance of a blowoff. Never a problem even with 5g batches.

1) California Commons (Jamil's) 2) SWMBO 3) Wed, Feed, Mow (Jamil's)

Thanks for the quick response. I am doing an AG full boil and I got them a couple weeks ago from Rebel Brewer. I also noticed the wild calculations Beer Smith came up with. I'm just going to change the first addition to 0.75.

I'd go at least 12 to 14 days in the primary, reguardless of the hydro reading. I used to do the 1-2-3 method (1 wk primary, 2 wks secondary, 3 wks in bottle) but now I go 2-3-3 and have noticed a significant improvement in the quality of the beer.

What size hose are you using? I had same problem but switched to 5/16 hose and problem solved. It's a little difficult to get on and off but seems to work best. I also cut about an inch off the hose every two or three uses to keep a tight fit. You could use a worm clap but you risk...

Welcome from Perry Hall. Done about 30 5g batches switching to all grain about 20 batches ago. Maryland Homebrew in Columbia rocks. I also like Annapolis Homebrew in Severns Park. Good Luck. SWMBO is from Dundalk.
