The linked recipe above from MtnSoul is mine, it turns out great, very close to original. brewing it today for the 3rd time. Not sure where I got the info about the massive amount of dry hop, but it works. Bready almost PBJ like red IPA. http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebre...toaster-pastry

If your kegging and you like how it tastes, I see no reason to wait.

@Micha ^^^ You beat me to it. This article must be from 2005 or something. It really should be removed or corrected as this info is not accurate as of 2015. And AFAIK Whirlfloc should be added at 5 minutes, not 10.

Ive used grocery store probiotic pills containing lacto for this and it worked great FYI

So my and a few friends are trying our second attempt at a birch infused beer. Last year we did a wit using birch bark and a gallon of sap (not syrup). It was good, won honorable mention in competition, but we and the judges didnt think it was the best suited style for the unique birch flavor...

That is exactly how I keg most of my beers. Though IMHO it takes 24 hours in the keg to achieve desirable carbonation when using the shake and roll method. Also, I would cold crash for at least 2 days if you want the beer to clarify (dont do this with your witbier or intentionally hazy style)...

Disappointment.

I used 4 bottles of St Bretta Summer to grow up a good cell count and pitched into a 5 gallon batch, fermented from 1.048 to 1.006. It smelled and tastes very much like St bretta. I collected 3 mason jars of washed slurry, and used on of them to ferment the next batch, winter blueberry sour.

Fingers crossed!

Oops I was looking at Imperial IPA in the builder haha.

Looks good overall but you may want to check the IBU's on the recipe. My math (using http://www.brewersfriend.com/) calculates that to just about 50-55 IBU (IPA 'style' is 60-120). Thats cutting it a bit low, unless its intentional. If you want more bite I would drop a full ounce at 60 instead...

This prompted me to try to actually calculate my ROI. My household consumes alot of beer, so this is all assuming anything brewed would have otherwise been purchased. I'm sure I left some things out (please let me know if you notice anything wrong), but the results, (if my math is correct) are...

Won 3rd Place Bronze with this recipe at the War of The Worts in PA. Thanks Ed!! My first competiton :ban: Only changed Crystal 10 to Crystal 30, after a few iterations I wanted a little more color. Ive brewed about 40 gallons of this so far and its become everyones favorite. I make 2...

Likely water from the thaw or the blueberry juice itself from a few squished berries, I added 2 lbs blueberries to my irish red ale last night and realized blueberry juice isnt really blue, or red, more like slightly amber water color.

I just wanted to update on this experiment: it was a success. :ban: Now onto other multi-brew methods, specifically a porter half smoked half espresso...

Q: Is it possible to brew 2 separate IPAs/PAs from one (10 gal for me) batch? A: Yes, updated with a reply I was pondering adding a single addition neutral AA hop (Magnum) at 60 minutes, do a no-chill method (cools overnight in fermentor), and add 2 different hops while its still hot (separated...

Hi all, kinda new to posting here, but brewing AG +3 years and use this recipe database as my bible. I am not yet formulating recipes but feel the need to contribute. On that note, I've gotten pretty deep into 3D printing the past 3 years for other reasons, and figure there's got to be a way...

It was the standard red box of nabsicos

So I brewed this 2 weeks ago, was on my to-do list for almost a year now. The brew process went smoothly, everything to recipes but subbed brewers best cacao nibs instead of bakers chocolate. Wondering if the substitute was the culprit... When I racked to bottle half and keg other half, I...

So.... I have brewed a 6 gal split-batch holiday beer, which consists of a brown ale with oatmeal and brown sugar (Zamil's Oatmeal Cookie recipe), I will likely keep 1/2 normal without any adjuncts, but I would Like to experiment with the other 3 gallons in the secondary. It wont exactly be a...
