Count me in! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I'm in too. Awesome prizes!

Good to hear it's underway. What yeast are you using? It's funny to hear you don't have any krausen; I use White Labs WLP400, which is a monster (I've had to use a blowoff rig every time), :mug:

I've done three batches of Belgian Honey Wit. Unlike other recipes, I put the orange and coriander in with my steeping grains and then steep for 45 mins (to help convert the white wheat malt, etc). Here's the amounts I've used: Batch 1: 1 oz. crushed coriander, 1 oz. dried bitter orange peel...

+5 hoppiness is an IPA +5 Ex-PaT 1800 IPA 50000!!!!!! :ban: Glad I timed that one right!! ;)

Awesome. Thanks Yoop! Much appreciated. I figured it was something like that. This batch was a point lower OG than the previous batch, so it makes sense that the FG is down one point at 1.008. Thanks much. :mug:

Hi all- I bottled two batches yesterday, and for the second one I accidentally added the priming sugar before taking a hydro reading. Is there a way to calculate what the real FG is? I boiled 4.1 oz. corn sugar in 2 cups water for 5 mins. I then added that to 5.25ish gallons of wit. The FG...

As was said earlier, don't you think several former Microsoft higher ups working together could come up with that kind of money fairly easily?? My question is: unless I'm missing something, it seems that the water is held in that one fish tank for the whole "brew." Since the grains don't go...

+5 Belgian Honey Wit +5 India Black Ale +5 Port o' Palmer Robust Porter ( It's been a busy weekend! :ban: ) = 43,899

+1 to the sampling. Only time will tell. I just bottled a new batch of Scotch Wee Heavy last week (OG 1.085) that had been 4 weeks in primary and then 3 months in secondary (2 months were with scotch-soaked oak cubes). I also have a barleywine that's been in bottle 10 months that's really...

Last night: Me: "What's this Estrella Damm? Is that a lager?" Waiter: "No, it's more like a Michelob." Me: (holding my tongue) "Sure, why not." So I get the beer, and he comes back after checking with the bar and says, "Yeah it's Portuguese Bud Light." And you know what? That's exactly...

Man, this thread's crashed more times than Billy Joel...

It's so wrong (on an epic level) that it borders on being right.

Thanks for wiping out my 25 gallons in addition to other folks' 9,975 gallons. :drunk: :-P Correct number = 29803

+5 more gal. Wee Heavy :rockin: 23,495

Last name's O'Reilly. Not too-uncommon an Irish name, but just ethnic enough that I deal with slaughterings of it fairly regularly. Among the various ways people mispronounce it is "oh really"; I've also gotten "Or-ee-elly", "Orotvy", and perhaps the best of all: "Orally". "Mr. Orally?"...

YES!! One of my favorite groups. +1

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion. -Tool, "Schism"

20196.2 + 5 gal. Rye Pale Ale (in the primary mere minutes) 20201.2

Thanks for the feedback. I know what ya mean for the coriander. The first time I brewed this I used 1 oz. and it was a bit much. This amount ain't a whole lot less, but I'm hoping it'll blend a little better with the other flavors this time. I used new methods this time (whole hops, fresh...
