So I was gifted this 5.4 gal cask. I hear it's used for making real ale! But I'm not really interested in making that. This weekend I'm going to be brewing ten gallons of stout at 7% abv. My question is can I split it and add honey to half to boost the alcohol content allow it to ferment dry...

Actually the original recipe is. 6lb pal 2lb flaked barely (correction) 1 pound roasted barely 2 oz willimett. 5 gallons. I added an extra # of pale 2 oz carafa3 and the german hops to make it my own recipe

It is a 5 gallon batch.

Does willimett go good with German hallertau? Planning to use 1 oz. Of each at 60 min. 7lb pale 2lb flaked barely 1 lb roasted barely, 2. Oz carafa 3. Nottingham yeast Making a stout ;) thanks for the input and knowledge

Sooo what i said before isn't completely true. After letting the head sit in the keg for several weeks its getting better. I imagine if I would have aged it like a cider and not a beer it would have turned out fair.

That does help its explais why its heading towered the dry side anyway

So I used white labs Belgian golden ale yeast witch has the Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus trait? What good does it do for my beer? Does it just help clear up extra sugars? Does it cause a longer fermentation then normal? Does it add a fruity flavor of some sort? I just checked my...

I also upgraded my burner from propane to natural gas pictures below

I brewed a scotch ale founders dirty bastard clone. Named it filthy bastard because I changed the grain bill because my brew store didn't have the exact ingreadance I posted a picture of the recipe below.

Wow that's a ton of hops I bet you brew a lot and have a pretty sweet set up

That is good advice. I think I will wait until there are some good deals

Yeah I have been thinking about doing a smash still haven't gotten around to buying a some bulk but I'm thinking a pound of citra and a pound of cascade

I just have a huge box of squash that I grew and need to do something. With them haha. I already gave a ton away

Check this recipe out. http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques67.asp but yeah I'm a little worried it would turn out gross. I could try to follow a pumpkin wine recipe also again kinda thinking it would turn out uhh gross. I supposed it would be something that needs to sit in a bottle for a very...

So just use whatever squash I have doesn't matter how many pounds then fill to the 5 gallon mark with water? Does it need to be cooked first? It would be hard to smash it in uncooked... I am willing to use this recipe it sounds promising. I'm sure I could just wing it as well and use this as a...

I broke my hydrometer while brewing the beer part. But my final gravity was about 1.003 and yeah I figured I'd hope it would age better. I did use crystal 60 and store bought apple juice. I may make it again someday and use more beer but keep the hop amount the same. I should have bottled some...

So here's the deal my graff. Its pretty bad tasting and I have 5 gallons of it.. So I want to make it more drinkable. It is tart sour and dry. Question is should I dry hop it or back sweeten it? It is in the keg and carbonated I have drank some of it is say mabey a 12 packish.. And if I back...

Hey so I have been think and planning and here are my thoughts. I am going to upgrade my turkey fryer burner (55,000) btu to natural gas. The ring you see with tape measure is about 8 3/4s. So the 23 tip jet burner (160,000) btu is 8" 3/4s as well. A tight fit I'd say.. So the smaller 10 tip jet...

So like cook and peel the squash then smash it to a full five gallons? Where's the room for water?
