I'm about to start a batch of Hef and may get a keg system so I can spead things up a little. Northern Brewer seems to be the best deal so far. Anyone got any suggestions? Also, what are your thoughts on force carbonation, and how should I change the amount of priming sugar accordingly?

Hey guys, For those involved I wanted to update and let you all know that This one turned out pretty good. I'ts a little heavy for me now. I'm pretty picky about when I drink what beers, and it's been a little warmer here in TX, so it's been a little too heavy for me to drink lately. Nice head...

that makes me wonder how much of an issue it is that I may not have mixed it well enlugh. I usualy start my primary fermintation in a pale, and stir it really well with my ladel. this time I started it in a carboy, and just put a cap on it and shook it around a little bit. What happens if it...

Hey guys, Brewed the Jeremiah Red Last night. Everything went well except that my OG was only 1.060 and was supposed to be 1.072 I even used 9.25lbs of LME. Any ideas on why my OG would be off? I know it will taste like good beer either way. I just can’t imagine what I could have done to change...

Here's how it will go down Wed. night guys. Thanks for all the info, and I'll let you know how it goes. Has anyone used the Safale US-56 yet? It sounds pretty good. 9.25 lb. Light LME 0.5 lb. Crystal 60 2.5 oz. Chocolate Malt Steep grain in a gallon of 160 F water for a half hour. Rinse...

so, would that mean that I would use 9lbs. of LME? seems a bit heavy. come to think of it, Jeramiah Red does kick your ass.

Yo brewers, Just wanted to let anyone who hasn't tryed them, and uses there own used bottles to know that I've used some of the Guiness bottles with the shrink wrap lable. They're awsome. The widget pulls right out with pliers, and the shrink wrap pulls right off. They seem a little light, but...

If I change to a LME, how much do I need to use? I think it's supposed to be more, but I don't remembrer. :tank:

Last night I brewed a beer called Elbro Nerkte. After I had steeped my grains and added my LME I reached for my hopps to realize that I had somehow lost them. The recipe called for like 1/2oz. Nothern Brewer for boiling, and 1/4oz. American Hallertau. I happened to have Fuggles around from my...

What is Turbinado sugar, and what do you use it for? Priming?

Thanks guys I'm quite exited to brew this one soon.

Brewing CJHB's Elbro Nerkte tonight, with White Labs' London Ale Yeast. I'm exited because the instructions are for a very quick ferment. Just wondering if anyone has a say? I love brewing:drunk: :cross:

Wow, nothing huh

I've got about 20 bottles left from my previouse brew. They've been pretty good, and have been conditioning for about three weeks. If I'm wanting to have them ready for a party in about 3 weeks should I put them in the fridge? I didn't know if it's better to leave them @ room temp. for this...

:cross: One of my favorite beers is Jeremiah Red @ BJ’s restaurant. I’m looking for an Extract recipe. Also love Nutty Brunet. Anyone got one of these? Thanks

Every thing I had read said to rack after 2 days. I think that I agree that it may not have been best, but won’t it be just as good if I rack again when it’s ready? Maybe a few more days? Also, after I do rack it again will I still need to ferment for another two weeks after that before I...

I sterilized my the stainless spatula I used in iodine, and did this because I had read in THE COMPLETE JOY OF HOME BREWING that it helps, and I was rong saying it had been 2.5 days. It's been 3.5.

The title pretty much says it. didn't mix enough water with my beer and just racked it. I also scooped out the foam on top after primary fermentation for 2.5 days. OG was 1.66 and it is now 1.31. Think any of this is a prob?

Yep, Lewisville TX, near Dallas

Thanks. I wasn't too worried. It’s fermenting at about 65-72f I got the clone recipe from my hb shop. I don’t remember what book they got it from. It seems to be a pretty good brew.
