I did not secondary this last time I made it. I think if I wanted to drop out as much yeast as possible I might do something like that however it does need to age a little longer imo. It was great bottled after 3 weeks but give it even an extra week or two and this beer is superb. It is a...

On the other hand whenever I hear of people oxygenating their wort with pure O2 I just think how much O2 I would burn through if I had that setup.

Yeah my bottle is number 7 (other)I am not worried about leeching into my beer. Not to say it dosen't happen and the acidic nature of beer may speed up the process but I dont think it leaches nearly as fast as we have been led to believe and im not going to worry myself with it. We are far more...

I use water bottles to ferment/age my Apfelwine and have no oxidation problems. I also use them to secondary beer when I need. I reuse them with no problems.

Looks normal to me. Looks like yest flocculating and has just not fallen out yet because it is probably flled with co2 and is remaining boyant, the foam is probably the last remnants of fermantation and degassing. I get 'scum' like that sometimes and it dosent change a thing.

Single infusion means there is no temperature change or water additions throughout the mash. IE You pick a single mash temperature and thats what it stays at throughout the mashing process. There will still be a sparge(whether it be fly or batch sparge). Maize = corn

Yeah let us know how things turn out next go around. When you go to the LHBS don't be afraid to ask for a re-run if you feel your crush isint up to snuff. My LHBS crusher is getting old and they run my grain twice almost every time for me.

What was your pre-boil volume? You said this is a 2.5 gal batch and you boiled down to 3.75 gals. Seems like a 45 min boil would not boil off more than a gallon so if you ended up with 3 gallons in the fermenter you were at 71%. So some of your woes could be in volume miscalculation? I usually...

I did a 60 min boil and it came out fine, and it was closer to a simmer than a boil.

Almost any wheat beer could probably make that time hack pretty easily, Cream of Three Crops isint bad at 4 weeks. Any pale/amber ale that isint in the extremes and that uses a clean yeast would def. be drinkable at 4 weeks. I made Kierans Irish Immagrant Ale and started to drink it young and it...

Sounds about right, since you are using the BiaB method you will probably loose some %. And if you really used 6 pounds of 2 row for a 2.5 gallon batch you would end up with about 1.065 - 1.07 OG if you got 75% eff.

Thanks, thats one reason I haven't done the beer. No idea how to approach it. I am going to just add my chilies to the boil as well like you did. maybe ill dry-chilie some if they don't come out enough.

I am very selective of a sticker I may put on my car and I put them on my window that way a razor and some goof-off can easily make it so it was never there.

I love Lunasa, never seen em live but have many album. Also OT saw the sig, I love Gaelic Storm and have a secret crush on Jessie. Can't wait for Cabbage

yeah you are right so some reason I was calculating yearly, what I get for doing anything before noon. Yeah that is horrid

Yeah if you boil the honey you might as well save your money and use corn sugar.

Comes out to just about a buck a beer if you get platinum.

Dissolving it in some water is a good idea, makes it easyer to handle and get it all in to the desired container. My Honeybuns Weizen has a pound of honey in it. About 10 mins left of boil I skimmed some wort into a saucepan added the honey and kept it hot untill I was chilling the beer. Then I...
