Enjoy!! This is a great recipe and funny enough was my second all grain batch too..next week's kettle sour will be my 100 gal mark :) greatest hobby eeevvveeerrr!!

I purchased my false bottom from adventures in home brew and love it. It's a slotted dome design and is hard lined but the nice part is the connection to the ball valve on this inside is a compression fitting. I am able to get a fine crush on my grain and have not had a stuck sparge yet...

I overshot my numbers on this beer and it turned into an 8.3% beast of a brown. I really liked it when it was fresh but just opened the last bomber I had after about six months age and it was fantastic! All the bold flavors of this brown melded together into an amazing beer. I wish you all...

Happy brewing holidays everyone! I brewed this recipe on Sunday but sadly had to do a variation :0 ( local home brew store has been really slow and looking to open a brewery in January. So long story short I am using norther brewer for bittering and fuggles for late addition. For yeast they...

Classic question that comes up for the newbs. Since you are only 5 days in I wpuld wait about 5 more days and take a gravity reading. Since you had a lower OG I would adjust your expected FG a smidge. Rest assured at the end of the day you still made beer :0) good luck and welcome to the obsession.

Well I brewed up a tasty 8.5% nut brown ale about 5 weeks ago. Started cold crashing the beer about 2 weeks ago (had planned to bottle after 1 wk but wife got sick). Since I wont be able to bottle for a week or so should I leave beer at 36 or raise up to cellar temps (54ish) to try to conserve...

Theheadsn..I have the same size freezer and didn't do anything special besides use a 12 amp appliance plug for wall. My unit is external from freezer with a Celsius stc and house wall plug. Good luck! Best thing I ever did to help my brews :)

I think the challenge you are going to run into is only allowing the hops to sit for 3-4 days..I normally shoot for a week of dry hopping on my beers. 1oz of hops will be enough to add a little nose to the beer but on my IPAs I shoot for 2 oz. Good luck and I'm sure it will be tasty either way.

Seems like you have given it good time..I say crash it and keg or bottle :0)

Howdy HBT peeps! Couldn't help but share another first in my home brew career as I laugh at myself. While working to transfer my 4th all grain batch (NC red seal ale clone) to bottle bucket I got the idea to zip tie a hop bag to my auto siphon to help filter trub. Well the zip ties would not...

I really liked the 2oz of fresh zest..it's been in the bottles for about a month or so and has balanced nicely. Good orange flavor on front side complimented by the cascades but still has that pale malt flavor I love. All and all a great beer :0)

I used fresh zest of a naval orange and added 2 oz with 10min left in the boil. Its been in the bottle 1 week so I am patiently waiting. All gravity samples tasted awesome with a medium orange kick. Cheers!

Hello awesome HBT people! I'm sure this has been asked but I am ready to build my mash tun and wondered what people favorite setup is..I'm stuck between the class 10 gal or bigger cooler or turning a keg into a tun with a insulation vest on it? Currently have about 5 BIAB batches under my belt...

Working through my second case of bottles of this amazing brew..recipe was spot on and love the hoppy goodness this offers. Looks like a re-brew will be needed soon and this will become a household staple :0) cheers!!

I just transfered this to secondary today after a long primary due to my daughter being born :0) the small sample I tasted today was awesome compared to my first gravity ready. Seem like the acidic flavor of orange was overpowering at first but mellowed nicely. Can't wait for the week of dry...

I am all for the DIY projects with home brewing but I got a wild hair and decided I had the cash so I went with NB stainless steel immersion chiller. For the 5 gal batches I do I can go from boiling to pitching temps in about 20-25mins. I also like to use 5 gals of ice water and a small...

I like to put a small hand towel under the carboy just so its not sitting directly on the bottom of freezer to help ping pong effect. I love my chest freezer, ceramic heater and stc-1000. Best $75 I have spent in brewing and was a fun build. Brew on!!

Brewed this beer up yesterday afternoon and was my second BIAB (3rd batch ever). Came close to hitting my number and landed at 1.056 pre boil..had some classic issues of almost boiling over on first addition, stuck siphon due to orange zest pieces on transfer to fermenter and forgot to take my...

I followed Bassbeer recipe tweek and just bottled today. This is my best brew yet and has an awesome hop aroma but still maintains that pale malty flavor I love. Now the hard part..waiting out the carb :0) cheers! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Home Brew mobile app
