    Funny Story

    Good info. Thank you. I really wasn't looking forward to making an extra full kettle lift anyway! I have two more batches in route to brew next time not too worried. Chugger pumps will be on the way for those batches too. Im not trying to get a hernia!

    Funny Story

    I had to share. With the craziness of life I have not brewed in over a year and half or so. I even bought a new SB kettle and edelmetal burner that has been untouched until today. Well I was being a space cadet this morning and I am now mashing with my total water volume. :drunk: Good bye...

    Burnt Taste

    I am about 8 batches in since starting to brew all grain. For this brew I did the NB Tombstone Pale Ale. I followed the brew instructions, but I had some things go not as planned during the brew. 1) I tried a new digital thermometer (Char-Broil Coldspot Wireless Thermometer) it worked up until...

    High Gravity Alcohol Taste Belgian Speciality

    I think you may be hitting it on the noggin! It fermented out to 1.010. Maybe I should cut the sugar down next time? Is that a contributing factor? Should I just transfer sooner next time?

    High Gravity Alcohol Taste Belgian Speciality

    Thanks for the advice, and as for the fermentation temps I started at 68 then moved to 70 degrees for the first week. I lost power the second week and it got down to 64 degrees. I was trying to maintain 70-72 degrees after the first couple of days. I'll just let this thing chill out in the fridge.

    High Gravity Alcohol Taste Belgian Speciality

    Im relaxed but need some help/advice. I brewed a belgian speciality with 13.5 lbs of pale malt and 2.5 lbs of wheat malt mashed w/ distilled water @ 154 degrees for 60 min. I over shot my volume, batch sparging yielding 7.5 gal of wort with pre boil gravity @ 1.050. I had to boil for 90 min to...

I have heard that its a ***** to get it to floc and as you could expect nothing is really settling out in the carboy. Im not worried at all about that as I will follow...

    First DIPA Creation-Opinions wanted

    Right now beersmith has me just south of a estimated ABV of 9% and around 95 IBU's. Which turns out to be the balance I am looking for. I was aiming for a middle of the road DIPA according to the style. 128 IBUs seems towards the top end of the style. I was thinking of Dry hopping with 1...

    First DIPA Creation-Opinions wanted

    My bad I planned on putting the Columbus in at 60 min. No real reason for the 90 minute boil I suppose 60 min would be just fine too.

    Success Story-Are you your toughest critic?

    So I brewed three seperate brews. All three were my first AG brews. As expected, the first brew came out OK, the second was pretty good, and the third was probably the best brew I have made to date. The three beers were good, but I didn't think that they were great by any means. I have been...
