Btw this is the recipe I've brewed twice to great success.... I've used Nottingham both times,and the first batch (which was better) used mt hood as a sub for crystal (couldn't get crystal) ..

My batch is finished conditioning, and I picked up a funny taste in mine during secondary and bottling. It was almost a nail polish flavor. I had MadEthelFlint's kegged version and it was outstanding,mine is not nearly as good. I wonder if I picked up an infection. My fermentation lagged a...

whatever works for your equipment and style. I did 14 days in primary, 7 days dry hop in secondary. I just bottled my second batch. This is my new house beer. Move over centennial blonde, ADIPA is here. The homebrew version is VERY close, and EXCELLENT. I still think the commercial...

referred to this by a friend. the previous poster actually. I'm brewing this today. Now actually. PS Madethelflint smells like feet.

I bottled this on 6/28 and couldnt wait to pop a bottle. It's perfectly carbonated, and, it, is, AWESOME. It is dead on. Seriously unreal. Its easily my best homebrew yet. I fermented with a nottingham cake and dry hopped 10 days (couldnt bottle until 10 wanted it at 7) ...I should actually...

I just brewed this Saturday. I followed the last posted recipe exactly, however I was forced to sub in Mt Hood of a similar AA because LHBS does not stock crystal. I made one mistake, was short on runnings and my head was a little fuzzy with my neighbors homebrew, instead of adding another...

Thanks for doing this Brett. I'm going to stop in next week and find something to buy. I'm not sure i need anything but I'm sure as hell going to buy something!

unfermented wort gets the refractometer... finished beer gets the hydrometer ...

An update to this... I pitched about a 1l of s05 starter, nothing happened... It finished at 1.028... I bottled it and its rather delicious, like a dessert beer. I've gotten rave reviews from my tasters.

Harvest moon is meh. Central jersey is severely lacking in quality brew pubs. Theres a brewpub in old bridge that NJ Whales meets at and Basil Ts in red bank but I've never been to either of them. If everything wasn't so expensive and impossible to do because of red tape here there'd be more...

That crush almost seems like its suited for extract batches ...if venture to say the rollers on their mill might be worn out or mal adjusted. My lhbs specializes in bulk extracts and extract brewers, and their mill stunk. The only way to get a good efficiency was to have them double crush...

The can you brew it recipe uses a home roasted wheat.but only a lb or so iirc. The hops profile that their brewmaster gave is dead on, and it's not JUST c hops. The three wheats are white, roasted and torrified

A friend and I combined our spent mash during a brew party recently (he had a DIPA and I did a lil Sumpin Sumpin clone) and our efficiencies on the first and second runnings (both batch sparged) were so high that we could barely make a 5 gallon small beer. Roughly it was like 30lbs of mash we...

Drat. I'm in central nj and would have picked them up! I stink!

Where are you located?

This is an excellent excellent method. Have you set a process to limit the amount of times you've recultured the parent? I thank you sir I may use this in the future.

2) it will wake up. You'll be fine. There's still going to be yeast in there you just can't see it. 3) up to you. Time will get most of the yeast down to the bottom. Likely you'll have crystal clear beer after secondary. I wouldn't worry so much about yeast, it doesn't ruin beer. It's not as if...

I've made a starter and stepped it up to 2l from one pack. The vials are 50ml, and I get about 6 or so vials if I recall with some leftover. I've also harvested and washed from a session beer which certainly makes things easier in that department. If I'm making a smaller beer I pitch 1vial...

With aerating just plain ambient air you can get ~8ppm with a stirring device or just plain rocking. Professional breweries don't have the option of using a power drill. They *have* to oxygenate. They shoot for 8-10ppm. We can hijack this guys thread all we want. The reality is his beer will...

Enough that I have 4+ " of foam at the top? The carboy rockers hope for an inch of foam to tell when they've properly rocked it. I can't tell for sure how many ppm, but my fermentation a never lag. I'm also whirlpooling in my blichmann while chilling with the IC and filtering out hop and cold...
