I feel so bad always throwing out all that spent grain.... I have had muffins made with it that were delicious at a brewery once... Any body have some recipes that they can personally vouch for? Thanks Bob

Awesome thanks! I am not planing on using fruit in the secondary

S0o0o0o0oo0o I don't have any readings to verify when the primary fermentation has ended... The air lock is still bubbling at least once every 10sec It has been two weeks today.... When do you all think I should rack? When should I remove the bag of fruit I have floating in the...

Utilized a "fast fermenter" for both primary and secondary, very pleased.

how do you personally pasteurize?

no

Not really indian more Mexican I guess.... but a really good green chile beer recipe. Light with a back round spice. Rather than just dry hoping 1lb of chilies we grabbed 8, fire roasted them over a bon fire (taste better than when we just used the BBQ) dropped 4 in at boil and used the other...

I am in the very early stages of planing a sake... I have read several threads and forum on simple recipes some mention pasteurizing some don't. What is everyones opinion on the subject... why do it? is it necessary? what are the benefits? the cons? Also what methods do you prefer, I read...

ha ha ha thanks for the heads up

My first batch, its in secondary. I took a simple "traditional" nordic recipe... and tweaked it to my liking... it is already delicious and I couldn't wait to put together the label. (found the odin pic on google)

It seems that KISS is clutch, especially when it comes to brewing... that rig is not only simple... it only cost $4!!

While the beast is a thing of beauty, and truly inspiring (seriously man that thing is awesome) I have decided to go with a cleaner simpler method... just beefing up the gauge of the wire and securely binding with a crimp connector.... I think it looks sharp and works great, I can move the whole...

Any one try this yet? I'm thinking the same reason for quinoa being an ok food on a paleo diet... it won't be for sake.

yup did great! fluid came out from the lid and from the hole for the bubble valve and thats it, fell from about four feet and bounced off the ground

S00o0o0o0o while agitating my batch of mead by shaking the fermenter that is suspended from the ceiling with wire (see pic below).... and guess what.... the wire broke and the whole batch fell to the ground. now that I have picked every thing back up and re rigged the situation I find my self...

I'm using the hose so I can actually see the clarity and color or the mead during secondary and aging... this is my first batch I'm really excited and want to see every step

I plan on leaving the batch in the conical for the next 5months for maturing, while I will be away and not needing the vessel for other batches

I guess the term racking isn't the best in this situation, I removed the collection bulb at the bottom (removing sediment) and replaced it with the hose attachment so I can see the mead better. As far as gravity I'm flying blind here, I racked yesterday (day 14) because I wanted to remove the...
