Thought about that after I posted. At work now, but will add pictures tonight when I get home.

Not sure if this is the right forum so please move if necessary. I am converting a standing fridge to a kegerator (fridge on bottom, freezer above). I took the door off, removed the seal, and removed the shelves. I cut and sanded the insulation down to be smooth and put a piece of plywood down...

Should I eliminate the Victory entirely? Maybe up the 40L slightly and replace the 120L with 80L?

Looking for a hoppy Amber that's not quite vaulted into Red IPA status. Shooting for a piney, spicy, citrus Hop profile. I've had a tendency to focus on more fruity hops like Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy so need some advice on these old school "C" hops. 9.25lbs US 2 Row 1lb Munich I .75lbs...

Going to attempt a BDSA for the first time. Any issues with the bellow malt bill? Tried to take serious guidance from Brew Like A Monk. 12lb Pilsner 3lb Munich 1lb Flaked Wheat .75lb Special B .5lb Caramunich 1.5lb Table Sugar

I actually don't mind this. If we are honest, the craft industry will see consolidation at some point. Happens in every business eventually. I'd rather other breweries band together and pool resources in order to keep the craft spirit alive than sell out to the big corporate overlords. The...

Not sure which forum this should go in so mods feel free to move if this is the wrong place for this. The wife has agreed we need a sink in our garage for my homebrew and her craft projects. Since my kettles will likely be the largest objects getting cleaned I am in charge of sink dimension...

I like this idea! Definitely looking forward to your 21 Day Journey!

I was planning on using Wyeast 1318 London Ale III actually (idea stolen from a Bear Flavored recipe). I have a Fermwrap so temp isn't an issue. Have a Saison at 80 currently in a 58 degree basement closet. Love Mosaic but I've used it so much I want to try something different. I'm one of...

Well that's super handy! Thanks for sharing.

SWMBO is slowly coming around to hoppy beers so I was going to brew IPA, but she prefers more fruity/tropical flavors. Was thinking of pairing Galaxy and Pacifica, but wanted feedback on this hop combo and the ratio between them. Anyone used these together?

Great stuff, glad to hear the pairing will work (haven't used either yet). Here's to keeping money out of the BMC hands!

True, probably would just be considered late hopping and not hop bursting. Still want a balanced beer...trying to ween the SWMBO off Blue Moon while having something I'd enjoy as well.

Looking to do 2 Grisettes inspired by Farmhouse Ales. One is essentially Markowski's recipe so no concerns there. However, was thinking to make a more hop inspired one (plan to hop burst). 5.5gal batch 1.041 OG 20.3 IBU 5lb Pilsner 1.25lb Wheat Malt 1.25 Flaked Wheat 7oz Table...

Have you done Wallonian by itself or the only as part of a blend as you listed out in your thread? Your description sounds like what I'm going for (rye saison with only Saaz hops).

Has anyone else tried TYB Wallonian strain? I too am interested in it, but am a little uncertain based on some of the reviews I've read. I want something earthy without having to fuss with the Dupont strain or wait on a Brett strain to do it's thing.

I'm wanting to make a funky cider similar to what the French make (minus the keeving). Does anyone know if the dregs form Etienne Dupont's Brut du Normandie are viable? I know they use wild yeast and don't filter or pasteurize, but wasn't sure if they bottled with champagne or not. I've...

Makes sense. Well, just tossed the pellets into primary so we'll see how it goes! Thanks for the info and opinions folks!

I've dry hopped without cold crashing, just never done it in primary.

Yeah, 11 days in primary.
