Anything that sticks out here that I am missing? I was thinking of using some 80L Crystal to add some more body but I think the Malto Dexrin will take care of that. Also I have seen some recipes in Beer Captured where they steep the darker grains separate from the lighter grains. Is there...

I drink Bud only when I am planning on getting ****faced (which is happening less and less as I get older...) and don't want to spend a lot on a 12 pack...

I bought a 50' one! I needed a few other things anyways so this just saved me an hours drive. Tom

The Beer Captured book has 4 or 5 of them in it. Tom

I watched the starter pretty closely and it did not react anything like the one I did last week which spent 2 days bubbling away. The 2nd question is about harvesting from the primary, just to be more clear. Should I now pour out the water and save the yeast? Tom

1) I have a stalled starter...The packet was 6 mo old. It took 3 days to expand the pouch...I made a started...followed the directions perfect and nothing...I mean there are a few bubbles and a little surface activity but it has been 5 days now. Whats up? Can I get it going or is it dead...

What is a stirplate? We just dumped the entire starter in the batch last time (had crazy action within 12 hours!). Tom

I won't even get into my chemical stories...lets just say that I used to be a DJ and used to go to a lot of raves and clubs... Tom

I have a yeast packet that is taking longer than I expected to take off...it was getting there this monrning when I left and I am hoping it is good when I get home... We where hoping to brew on Saturday afternoon...if I get it in a starter tonight will it be good to go by then? What if I...

I have my fair share of stupid things I have done...but my friend Nick takes the cake on this one... We where hanging out in has yard drinking when he got a great idea to take care of a tree that had been hit by lighting and broken in half. So he climbed up there with a saw (not a chainsaw...

Hey chillHayze...I just noticed that you are in Wappingers!! I am in Poughkeepsie! Good stuff. I plan on joining the local brewing club shortly!!!

ok...not the only casualty...my wife was holding the replacement and got covered as well... And about a boilover...been there...I spend about 39 min scrubbing with amonia and still couldn't get it off... Tom

I noticed that it was still bubbleing out upun further further inspection so I went out to Home Depot and bought a tube that will fit over the hole in a rubber stopper. I sanitized it all and pulled off the airlock...the ensuing explosion covered me in foam but I was the only casualty...put the...

So we brewed on Friday night and yesterday the carboy was bubbling away just fine...I just went down the basement and suddenly it is completely out of control and has bubbled up and over/out of my airlock!!!! This was our first time using liquid yeat and we did everything as per the...

So I am making a Brooklyn Brown from Beer Captured and I bought Light instead of extra light DME. Will this make a diff? How will it affect the beer? Thanks Tom

BTW we are making the Woodstock IPA from Beer Captured. Thanks Tom

Wait...now I have another question...after boiling and such I have about 16 oz or liquid that is bubbling away in my starter jar. Do I just pour this into the wort once it is cooled (temps matched)?

I have my starter going right now and there is activity...but I am wondering if I should shake it anymore during the process to airate it? Thanks tom

Thanks!! Tom

So my basement seems to be in the 65-67 deg range. I know that 68-72 is best for ales, but will I be ok with this? Should I let it ferment a bit longer? Thanks Tom
