thanks ill get two twenty ounce bottles and a ten ounce bottle.

This is just two quick questions. I am going to be using my normal ale recipe, whit hops that are in line with Magic Hat's #9, and I was thinking for this week's brew I would add some apricot to give it a twist. I do not want it to be a strong twist, so I am not going to use the amount in the...

If there was any foam on the top it would make it hard to read.

so far I have come up with this: 13 lb 2 row pale malt 6 lb Thomas Fawcett Optic pale 1 lb Carapils 12 oz Simpsons Extra Dark Crystal 2 oz Chinook pellets, bittering 2 oz Northern Brewer pellets, 30 min 2 oz Cascade pellets, 7 min White Labs super high gravity ale yeast I should...

yea I was worried about the volume of my kettle being too low. Thanks

Hello. In a few weeks I will begin my first barley wine. I have not yet finished making the grain build yet, nor have I decided on other factors. If anyone has any advice or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated! Also I currently use a 5 gallon rubbermaid for my mash tun. I...

I used it in my amber ale. I pitched it at 72 *F and fermented it at 68-70. After a few hours it went crazy and by day 2 or 3 I had a blow out. This yeast was very fast and active.

yea, they are flimsy and I am a bull, I tend to break one once a month. I never learn...

After a week of over-flowing airlocks, my belgian wit with wyeast 3944, is still getting a 5 or 6 second count in the airlock. Usually by a week or so the gravity is low enough to transfer but this obviously is not. Oh, and I broke my newest hydrometer last week, so I have no way of telling what...

Yea, it is good, but I have a problem with paying so much for a darn four pack of beer. In Pennsylvania for instance, a four pack of DFH 90 minute is $15!

I may only be 22, but I drink far more than I should and I am in great shape. 6'1", 190 pounds, 32 inch waste. It may be due to all the running, lifting and mountain biking, but I also eat very healthy. When you work out, use as little rest time as your body allows you, which in turn keeps your...

alrighty, thanks

I used a calculator, I think that I'll do 7.4 quarts at 137 degrees, which will rest at 122 hopefully, then 7.7 quarts at 188 so it rests at 152ish. That will result in about 1.45 q/lb, which will leave me some room to adjust.

I am doing a protein rest because the grain bill is 60 percent wheat, some of which being unmalted wheat. I thought the protein rest would be beneficial.

I do not use software. I think i am just going to pitch some hot water in after the 20 minute protein rest, I just don't want there to be too much water. I could just use less water at a hotter temp, perhaps a gallon at 190 degrees, then adjust if it becomes too hot or too cold.

I am brewing a Belgian Wit tomorrow morning and I need to do a protein rest. I usually brew American style ales, so this will be my first protein rest. I use an Igloo container for my mash tun. What is the best way to increse the temp of the mash in one of these puppies? Should I put in 180...

okie dokie thanks PS sorry for the lack of clarity. I asked the question because in the next thing I am trying, 50% of the grains is wheat flakes, so I was not sure if I should protein rest the flakes then add the rest of the grains after said rest and then bumb the temp up to the 155 range...

Quick question. Do you protein rest all your grains, or only the unmodifieds?

awesome, thanx
