    Looking for micro equipment to experiment with!

    I found a couple of cheaper sources that were about $3 for a 1 gallon canning jar with lids. Plus shipping makes it around $5 a piece. Lol getting sir locks will be more expensive.

    Looking for micro equipment to experiment with!

    Thank you - I honestly hadn't considered finding a wide mouthed glass jar...then found this 64 oz jar for $5.25...that's plenty of batches :)...

    Dogfish head Namaste clone

    Thank you...can you advise how to read that recipe? How long should I boil the grain? Is it then add the hops with a 60, 30 min boil and then at the end of the boil? Thank you

    Looking for micro equipment to experiment with!

    Hi Guys, I would like to be able to play around with some brew recipes a bit. But, making an entire 5 gallon batch for each variation will be time consuming and will take forever to reach a good brew. I was thinking about setting up the main boil and then separating that into 5 batches...

    Dogfishhead Namaste or Offcolor breweries Troublesome?

    Hi All, I recently drank 2 wheat beers which both had some citrus in them (orange/lemon) and corriander, with a wonderful fruity nose. Each had enough hop to taste without being overpowering and were very easy to drink...perfect for a summer beer. Does anyone have any clone recipes for...

    Muntons DME vs Briess for bottling

    I am making a clone of Fullers ESB and the final step before bottling is to boil 1.25 cups of Muntons extra light DME in 2 cups of water. I used Muntons Plain Extra Light for the main recipe (the brew store did not have any Muntons Light DME), so I know this beer will be lighter in color than...

    Priming ingredients

    In the end I dutifully weighed out my 3.2g of priming sugar per this web site: KotMF: Priming Sugar Calculator Then took a look at an IPA recipe which called for 3/4cup of primer for 5gals. Well my 5oz was less than that, so I added it all. The good thing about this, my second batch is that...

    Priming ingredients

    I am getting round to bottling a home brew version of Shepherds Neame - Spitfire. The pre-bottling additions calls for: 1 cup, wheat DME 1/4 cup glucose syrup Wheat DME (4 oz) was also an ingredient of the main brew. Although my local home brew store said it wasn't needed and wouldn't...

    Second ferm/racking

    I've yet to finish this batch yet...but I left it in the primary for 10-14 days (I forget which), the bubbles were coming at about 2/minute. Siphoned everything into a glass carboy (not very solid cake), with air lock, added my extra hop pellets and left it for about 2.5 weeks (plenty of...

    Interesting variations pre-bottling?

    All I can tell you is my Dad made wine in demi-johns which were about a gallon form what I could make out. I have heard of "pins" and "demi pins" where beer is concerned. Well, I'll take what I have and make some additions directly to the bottles as I don't have that much to play with.

    Interesting variations pre-bottling?

    As I spoke about in a previous thread I have 1 gallon, primed in a demi-john. Being a chemist and an experimental type...any thoughts of anything I could do to try and add some variations to this beer pre-bottling? Add fruit, herbs, anything like that? The beer is darker, like DeGroen's...

    Storage after adding priming sugar

    You'd think I'd know that reaction being a chemist!

    Storage after adding priming sugar

    Cheers, As Luck would have it, Aldrich sells 250 g of Dextrose for about $18 (>99.5 pure). Mind you they do charge a bit for their shipping.

    Storage after adding priming sugar

    Many thanks. Can I use regular sucrose, or should I get some more dextrose? Cheers. Steve

    Storage after adding priming sugar

    Many thanks. I did boil up the primer, siphoned everything into the glass demijohn with the primer, mixed and then started bottling. For now the last gallon is sitting in glass, huge head space covered but not air locked. Last q as a follow up...I had some awesome Umbel Magna (Nethergate)...

    Storage after adding priming sugar

    Hi, I just made my first batch. Based on an American Amber Ale, but with Fuggles, Phonixe and London III. Supposed to get close to my many favourite English beers. Anyway...fermented and sat in the ale pale for 2 weeks total (life events prevented a transfer to a secondary). Drained it...
