lol but I am German. I should be able to explain why not only know which one is correct and which one isn't "good/correct German" :)

Helles is not "male" it is das Helle not der Helle hence it can't end in ~er it gets ~es for the ending as in "the beer is a lager" = das Bier ist ein Helles. But your example is correct it does change to "Münchner Hellen" if you want to say "the history of Munich lager" you would say "Die...

^This if I remember right it indicates the nominative however I might be wrong

I am using acidulated often - also CaraMunich, CaraPils, Honey, Bisquit and Abbey malt That is about it. Everything else I would get from my HBS in the quantity needed. I guess if I get those in 5 and 10 pound bags according to my experience of how often I use them I should be fine. I...

I gradually started harvesting yeast, buying hops in bulk after I figured out what I most likely use and what I like brewing. I bought everything according to recipe for years and if I was to add that up it would amount to a substantial number. However I am totally cool with that since I needed...

It is also saving trips to drive all the way to the store - and I usually buy grains for 2-6 brews hence I am storing grain any way but milled grains and I am occupying one person with my recipe list for at least 45 minutes in the store. Also the difference between recipe grains and bulk isn't...

lol - I am German hence the hop is known to me as Saazer :) They do let me take it out of the fridge but since I usually have a list that I read to whomever is still talking to me... lol :)

I say Saazer like Saarland without the r adding zer. When I try to pronounce it like we do here in the US I fail terribly :) > soft s long aaaah tzss Sssaaaahtzs I usually end up pointing to it or ordering it online to avoid having to say it :)

+ 5 Triple + 5 Wit + 5 Sour + 5 Pomegranate Ale = 2226

I soaked cocoa nibs in Bourbon for a stout. I did soak them for 3 weeks though and it turned out awesome. I was amazed how much chocolate aroma it had. Your rum idea should work perfectly fine (imo).

Ja, gell?! ich hab mich auch grad weggeschmissen! Sau geil!

OMG! The funniest thing for me (being born and raised in Germany) they said they need it to be 90°F environmental temperature to "kill" the 5 liter "Master" Bottle but August in Northern Germany and it is roughly 60°F hence they fired up the stove to "drink" - lol It's a Märzen - they say in...

It feels like an ice box when I walk in in Winter and like a sauna in summer. If I have to guess I'd say winter around 40° and summer around 90+° and in comparison to my normally heated/cooled house it is quite a stark contrast. all of this is super helpful already! Thank you. I was planning...

I just realized (after almost 4 years! *hand to forehead) that had I bought a grain mill it would have paid for it self 4 times by now hence I am seriously contemplating getting a grain mill and buy my grains in 55 pound bags henceforth. I have specific questions though: I do not have a...

Thank you. But it is pretty much sold. Will update if not.

I'm in Doylestown.

Selling my Blichmann burner since I had to go electric. It's the model before they named it "Hellfire" - was $ 150.00 when I bought it - has a different layout of the holes. (see pictures) Used for exactly 11 brews. No boil over. Was stored inside but still lost the silver appearance (see...

Thanks a lot, Mille Grazie. makes sense what you Guys are saying. I did that for all my wit beers (ramping up the fermentation temperature) - I guess if I give it enough time after carbing in the fridge, it should turn out well.

I am wondering if there is anything that speaks against fermenting at 55°F for ~3 weeks Then cold crashing the primary to 35°F and leaving it alone for 4 more weeks? This is my first Irish and Scottish Ale brew attempt. I was planning on doing one Irish red Ale and also a Scottish light...

lol! Exactly. Also my brew day is my holy day in every word sense. I usually do not have an entire day off from work - I have to at least come in in the morning - so when I have a day off I can use for brewing it is my holiday and I am unwilling to have that spoiled. And brewing, like cooking...
