Brewed this on 4/12/15. I didn't stray from the recipe at all. I did my primary in buckets which were submerged in a large Rubbermaid container filled with water. I bought a $10 fish tank heater and stuck it to the side. When fermentation started, I slowly turned the heater up over the...

Brewed a 10 gallon batch of this on 1/3/15. Kegged it last week, and started drinking it today. This is my first nut brown, and I am VERY happy with the taste.

Does it taste OK? My brew stopped at 1.024, and it tastes AWESOME. If it tastes good, keg it and be happy!

It is not sweet. The sugar gets completely eaten up by the yeast. It's more of a tart cherry taste like a dry cherry wine would have. The tartness seems to cut down as it ages.

It's been about 5 weeks now sitting at 70 degrees and it still is barely carbonated. I resorted to filling a keg up with CO2 and dumping the bottles into it to avoid oxygenating the beer while it pours. It's now in a keg and is carbonated just fine.

Brewed 10 gallons of this on 11/29/14. Followed the recipe exactly. OG 1.068, FG 1.024. Kegged on 11/13/14 as I was a bit rushed to get this carbonated in time to bottle it and take it out of town. First keg went dry in 2 weeks. I just tapped the second keg. Everyone who likes milk stouts...

My OG was 1.068 and after 10 days I was at 1.024 using S04. I just came back to this forum because I was about to ask if anyone else is getting this. Looks like most people are.

Did anybody have any carbonation issues with this beer? I added 3/4 cup of corn sugar at bottling the ~4.75 gallons, and after 7 days cracked one open to see where I stood, and there was almost no carbonation. My basement temps did drop a little in the last week, so maybe it was too cool. I...

I brewed this beer back in the beginning of October and just bottled this past weekend. Warm and uncarbonated, this beer tastes awesome! I can't wait for it to bottle condition. I had some issues when brewing. Stupid me used the 5 gallon measuring stick for water during mash-in instead of...

My name is Nick, I'm from St. Louis, and I've been brewing for a little more than a year. I currently brew all grain 10 gallons at a time, typically once a month. I've used this forum multiple times to get recipes, so I figured it was about time I signed up and started contributing some.

I brewed this beer on 8/30/2014 as my first ever pumpkin beer, and I have to say, I was very happy with it. I did a 10 gallon batch, and split the fermentation in half with 2 different yeasts. I like doing this to see what differences the yeast make. I used Wyeast 1098 and 1056 (British and...
