I just added 8 oz of 60% cacao chips and racked RIS to secondary. This raised a question. Once it starts to meld into the stout a bit, will the yeast munch on any of it?

I want to bottle what I'm hoping will be my best beer to date, 11%+ RIS. I want to use 11.2 oz bottles and dip in wax to assist with aging. I've looked around and haven't found a vendor... help? SWMBO loves this beer but its very unlikely she will drink 40 by the time its ready to be bottled.

I have a RIS that was supposed to be a Kate the Great clone, but due to the unavailability of several grains, I had to freestyle pretty much the entire recipe. So… seeing as though SWMBO is named Kate (Katia) and IS Russian, I’m going to call it “Kate, the Russian, Imperial Stout” :rockin: I...

I just tried to use my mill for the first time. I had it set to about .35 but when I had the drill running, the mill was not pulling any grain through. It wasn't until I increased the gap to around the .53 mark, on the mill itself, would it start chewing grain. Thoughts?

Title says it all! It's in day 2 of primary fermentation sitting between 61-63F.

I'm going to brew something between a DIPA and a Barleywine (it would be a Barleywine if my efficiency didn't suck so bad). I have a selection of 5 hops (4 oz each) I'm in need of some advice/suggestions... Grain bill is 15# pale, 4# Vienna, 1# c20, 1# c40, 1# flaked barley with WLP001. Apollo...

:rockin::rockin: Received an email from Stone announcing Enjoy By 11.09.1212. This time it's being shipped to Ohio and Colorado. Yum :mug:

In celebration of my engagement with SWMBO :rockin:, I've formulated the recipe below. This is sort of a blend of what we both like - I like high ABV RIS/DIPA/Barleywine-type beers, she enjoys Hefes with Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier being her goto currently. I've asked her for any twists...

Looking for feedback. Started with a small amount of my grain bill (approx) .5 lb - OG 1.048 at just over 1500ml. Hit it with nutrient. No stir plate, just swirling every few hours to keep the guys in suspension. Total time - 48 hrs+-. Should it be more milky? If I let it settle, there was about...

I am on my 7th batch ever, started with AG and each batch has improved thus far! Why not jump in with both feet?! I am trying to shake out my efficiency issues as I only got about 55% efficiency on my last AG batch. At 70%, OG should have been 1.102, but only hit 1.080, 20 Brix, confirmed...
