no crystal, a bit of biscuit. Mash at 148.

General thought for the future - build in a top off water contingency to your boil. O2 is not a concern at the end of boil. Since it is unusual that you would ever want to add more than a gallon, you could take a gravity sample, and make the call. Use an electric tea kettle and add the...

Legal code as mentioned before. Remember though - save that one unless there are more code violations you can pick on. Save the trump card for all-out war Get motion sensor lights set as sensitive as possible (pointed more at their property than yours) Practice bird calls in the yard at...

OK so stick with the enhancer. Maltodextrin is not fermentable, so probably a reason for it. Also good idea to do first batch as close to what manufacturer intended - can't know where to go until you know what it tastes like. It may be perfect as-is, may stink. Yeast first - it needs to be...

thanks - trying to find an online description of the ingredients. Nothing really popping up. What does it come with? By all accounts, it is indicating that an additional kilo of fermentable sugar is necessary. To that end, I would lean toward the lightest DME you can find. Half and half...

good morning. to be of any help, I would like to as a few questions. What is the name brand of the kit? What is the name of the batch (assuming Canadian Blonde)? Is there any type of date of manufacture on it? Let's start there.

I would go simple in general. Crowd pleaser that does not have too much going on, Get a little Cara 40 Pale 85%, Munich 10%, cara 40 5% Centennial straight through. 60, 20 2, dry hop. (Maybe some BRU-1 in dryhop) US-05. Keep it simple

the hard-working distant relative of, yet relatively ineffective version of the Marburg virus?

why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?

true enough. Just used to hitting gravity - also realizing that in this case, topping off to bring the OG down, also brings the volume up, so more beer

BJCP standards for a RIP is between 1.018 and 1.030. Guessing that with that much of an OG, the probability of finishing on the high end was likely.

Assuming a FG of 1.025 (OG-FG)*131.25 (1.160-1.025)*131.25 = 17.72% ABV Assuming a FG of 1.035 (OG-FG)*131.25 (1.160-1.035)*131.25 = 16.40% ABV So - 17% is about middle there -reasonable estimate

Welcome Sskytthe! There are a lot of very experienced and knowledgeable people in here. Have used their wisdom many times and has definitely improved my brewing. I am sure you will find a lot of useful information. Great crowd in here

You can add San Diego super yeast (WLP 090) but you will still have two more percentage points to get. Might I suggest adding top-off water and diluting a bit? 17% seems to be your current ABV and while a victory in some sense if you hit, completely unnecessary.

HB NEIPA Chinook, Simcoe, BRU-1, Talus you should try it!! :rock:

used the microfiber towels from Walmart automotive. works great

I have the same glass at home... Bigger presence in that area than the states I imagine

Was standing next to you all day :)

Not many folks know of the SIU Salukis (Carbondale) and the surrounding area. Curious how a beer from there made it anywhere. My family is from that area. Father has all the stories of his younger days from the Big Muddy River Yeah - Albany. Serve any good beers at the Vermont Homebrew...

Saluki Dunkel Dog? Big Muddy Brewing? Franklin county?
