I decided to keep this grain bill rolling. Bumped the grain % up with a tight crush for BIAB and hit 7.25%. Bow is right, you can't really taste the ABV on this. I used summit, mand bav, jarrylo, and citra, about 3oz of each throughout. It's another one of those IPA's for people who proclaim...

I'm a big fan of spicy ginger beer. Maine root and 'Q' brands available in local higher end grocers are great, but expensive ($8+ 4pk 12oz). I tried using some yeast last year to carbonate a batch but no one cared for the flavor. Made some syrup and added it to club soda and that was better...

Dibs.

How much for one of the returned/fixed kettles? I love my fermenter!

I'm BIAB only after moving to all grain. 10 gallon batches with a 230v induction cooker. Pretty easy and I usually end up with a higher efficiency than my recipes call for due to a tight crush. Only issue I have is high gravity stuff, not being able to mash all that grain. I'll do a 5 gallon...

Pumpkin=ok for a few weeks. Had a barrel aged rumpkin (avery) at snallygaster in DC and our designated driver said that I really liked it! Pumking is hit or miss each year.

Brewed 10 gallons of sacred summit pale ale and augmented it with jarrylo. Came out more mango than the usual tangerine. good stuff.

Did another batch with Jarrylo augmenting some of the summit. Had more of a tropical (mango?-ish) citrus flavor. Going to stick with this and maybe try the summit with mandarina bavaria next time through.

I received my fermenter last week. Installed the bulkhead and valve. Hit it with pbw, rinse, and sanitized. Seal was good, ten gallons of brown ale in there. Shortly after that a package showed up with the updated bulkhead. I had assumed the updated equipment shipped with the kettle. It's...

pm inc, I'll take it

I was wondering why mine hadn't shipped yet. I'll wait if it means everything is fixed.

10 gallons of summit pale ale.

I did a 10 gallon batch, used rye malt. WLP070 Bourbon yeast in a 2 step starter. Almost done at .013, samples taste great.

first started diluting and conditioning my tap water a couple months ago. Used a cheap scale and realized during the mash that the scale was not accurate with measurements that low. I now have a wonderful fall spiced brown with a nasty salt water aftertaste. First batch so bad that I probably...

is pickup date tentative or confirmed at this point?

Brewed this twice in 5 gallon batches, need to bump it up to 10. Family and friends love it, even those who 'hate' a bitter beer. Tangerine flavor is awesome.

Group buy noobie question - I probably need to bring buckets to carry my splits home with, yes?

I'll take 20# of BRI1035 Briess 2-Row Caramel 40L if you want to take 30# and close that split. Will take 20# of 1937C BRIESS CHOCOLATE MALT 50 LB, leaving 20# open in that split.

I'll take another 5lbs of the brown if we need to close the split at the end.

Gotcha, assumed Norfolk based on previous posts. Same deal applies if you find yourself towards Charlottesville. Plenty of good stuff to drink around there too. I'm looking for an excuse to do the BrewRidge Trail.
