I am brewing the AHS Lemongrass Wheat tomorrow. The kit comes with 1 oz dried lemongrass and instruction say to add at flameout. I plan on adding them in a hop bag at flameout, cooling the wort, and leaving in the fermenter for about a week since I don't do secondaries. I will post the...

I get my brew water from Lawton, Oklahoma. This is the basic water analysis information from their website and reports. Any one care to take a look at my water profile and give any advice on what exactly I should do to improve it. I brew mainly pale ales, wheat ales, and the occasional IPA...

Added my limeade today after the bubbling slowed, day two of fermentation. I will have to say, I'm excited for this to finish, but the fermentation smells like serious Rhino fart! I have not had a brew that gives off this much sulfur.

Brewed this today using ingredients from original post. Smells amazing, can't wait to taste this! I used a 2.5 liter starter and it took off like a banshee within hours. I plan on adding the limeade on day two or three as the bubbling slows down. I ended up with 5.25 gallons and OG 1.60 into...

I wouldn't mind seeing your recipe!

Maybe I should bump it up to 154-156. Right in the middle range between the "Anglo" and "Saxon" temps! If i bump it up, will the 2-4 degree difference between 154-156 and my usual 152 be that noticeable?

The carastan I plan on using is 35L. Will be my first time using it.

Thanks, this will lower the IBUs but give more aroma and flavor right? Love it! :mug: KISS! (Keep It Simple Stupid!), one of my favorite grains along with one of my favorite hops! Ordering 1lb carastan would be easier, so I may just go that route. I was kinda shooting for an...

After brewing several kits and several tried and true recipes from right here on the board, it is time to work up my own recipe. I have Beersmith and have been working up some ideas. How does this look??? OG: 1.066 IBU: 58.4 SRM: 9.1 ABV: 6.6% 12 lbs Maris otter 1.25 lbs Carastan...

Just bottled this today and it tastes great. :rockin: I have never had a real DFH ale because I cannot get them here in Oklahoma, but if I did, this surely would be better because I made it! Thanks Yooper for the recipe! I can't wait for it to get carbed up. Need to get my hands on some more...

I havent made a Hibiscus Saison but I have made a Lavender Saison and a Hibiscus Wit. It was a Honey Hibiscus Wit, I can send the recipe for either one if you are interested. I used 6 oz hibiscus and added at 15 minutes left in boil. I only noticed a small amount of hibiscus flavor in the...

All done brewing this. OG ended up a bit short at 1.063, BeerSmith2 estimated 1.066. My efficiency was around 69% for this brew which is the same as my first AG. Everything seemed to work out pretty smooth. The continuous hopping kept me busy during the boil. I was not able to sanitize and...

Just finished with my mash and heating wort to boil. Temps and volumes were right on, preboil SG was 1.047. Here is a photo of the wort with my new spider and the anxious pacman waiting to attack the wort. I'm excited about this one.

Did not get to this a couple weeks ago as planned, but I have spent all week stepping up my pacman. They are in the fridge ready to go! :D Tomorrow I will pull the trigger and brew this up, it will be my third all grain. Going with Yooper's original recipe. I will be testing out my new...

Thanks for the reply. That is what I figured, but wasn't sure if there was some reason not to. I am stepping it up now so that my yeast can be ready for this weekend'w brewing session. :mug:

This is my first time stepping up a starter. I started with a 2L starter and stepping up with a 3L starter next. My question is after I decant the 2L starter can I just pour the boiled and cooled 3L starter right on top of the yeast cake from the decanted 2L starter or do I need to use a new...

That calculator rocks! :rockin: So I should start with a 2L starter and step up to a 3L starter then I should end up with 267 billion cells, correct? Not my first starter by any means, but first time stepping up. Seems simple enough, just begin with normal 2L starter with yeast vial, let...

I need some help figuring out what to do with my starter for my upcoming brew. Batch Size: 5.25 Brew OG : 1.066 Starter: Intermittent shaken Yeast: Pacman (date is 6/1/11 which is creating the issue here, its giving me a viability of 10%) According to Mr Malty: # yeast cells: 239 billion...

+1 Great info here. :rockin: Now I can refer to this thread as well as threads on individual yeast strains. Maybe I can just put my own yeast chart together with this!!! Thanks Again Guld!
