HI! I am very interested to hear how this works out! Late year I tried a prototype 1 gallon scaled back batch using frozen limeade instead of lemonade. It turned out very good tasting, however the gravity of the limeade seemed to be slightly lower than lemonade, so the end product did not have a...

Thanks all for the input. With a tube I get an average of 0.4qt and without the tube I get an average of 2.2qt. I am glad I found this source of variation. For my next batch I will use the tube and no tip.

HI all, pretty new to all this. I have a 10-gallon blue Igloo cooler from Lowe's that is fitted with a domes false bottom with a pipe leading out to a valve. I did some experiments yesterday to try and calculate a dead space for BeerSmith. I read on the forums that attaching a tube to the hose...

After some thought, I realized I may have been overthinking this and the answer is much simpler. Any feedback would be appreciated. - Recipe calls for one 11.5 oz can of concentrate (for 1 gallon) - 5 gallon recipe requires 5 cans. - Dilution factor is 25% - 3 Parts Water to 1 Part Concentrate...

Greetings Experts! This post is borne out of the sad fact that maybe affecting many of us, that Welch's has discontinued their Frozen Concentrates. TLDR: Need help reformulating for juice. I am here asking for some help in a recipe conversion. One of my favorite recipes is Jack Keller's Frozen...

Hi, looking for some feedback from the experts on this. 5 Gallons of fresh Weaver's Orchard Cider from Morgantown, PA. They say its a blend of tart and sweet, really delicious. Added 2 pounds light brown sugar and 2 weeks ago pitched a pack of dry Nottingham yeast. I was getting sulfur...

HI! I have made one batch of this and needless to say I loved it and it went fast. On my second lot now and its went pretty smoothly, even getting the fermentation started was no problem. 1 tsp of baking soda to raise pH a bit does the trick. This time around, I have been in primary for just...

Thanks! Any suggestions on yeast type and a good mashing profile?

This looks like a great recipe! I was wondering if it could be easily modified to be more of a wheat beer, using primarily 2-row and wheat malt and still use Sorachi Ace and Blueberries?

HI I have been searching for a blueberry wheat recipe using All Grain. I am looking for a recipe based on Wheat and Pale 2-Row. I am looking for a low IBU beer (less than 22). Possibly interested in the lemony taste imparted by Sorachi Ace. Looking for around 5% ABV. I would be...

Hi there! I have been searching for a simple all grain blueberry wheat recipe with a low IBU <20. This is an interesting thread and Iw as wondering if the recipe was ever finalized or if someone can point me to a good recipe. Thanks in advance!

Cool, secondary sounds great! Thanks!

Hey, JohnSand was right, they blended the grains and split the blend between two vac seal bags. Chess Hops are Magnum at 60, Perle at 30, and Cascade at 10, 0 and 4 day dry hop. Thanks! I will taste them tho...

About to try a strawberry version of this. I was thinking following the exact same recipe, expect adding a strainer bag filled with 5-8 pounds of fresh strawberries to the primary. Any thoughts or concerns I should watch out for?

Hello, coming out of an ingredient run at my LHBS I have a small issue going on, but I think its a good opportunity for learning so I thought I would post here. Please keep in mind I am totally new to all grain, but have been making wine for years. I am making the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Clone...

I just racked this onto the strawberries. I hit the final gravity, although a little low on the initial gravity at 1.4. Tastes like beer so far, can't wait to taste it after its soaked up all the strawberry flavor, aged a bit and carbonated! :rockin::ban::mug:

Just got my grains, hops and yeast for this batch and going to brew this weekend. This will be my first all grain, jumping in with both feet! I'm excited for this weekend. Can't wait!

Thanks, yes I was being a dick. I'm sorry, having a rough week. The whole story is this 'cider' that's what they called it, was on tap only very occassionally. I liked it so much that when it was on tap, I brought growlers and had them filled. Then the supply of it went away. In any case, to...

Thank you for all the insight. Much appreciated.

Thanks so much for the insight, (and not so much for the smart-a$$ reply, we're really proud of you for learning sarcasm, must have been quite an effort for you to get all the words in the right order). All I can tell you was that this was definitely not a wine. It was served cold out of a tap...
