    ESB Hop Schedule Advice Needed

    Didn't notice the "Caramel" in the rye, but I've seen it mentioned that is doesn't really add caramel flavor, just rye flavor. Since it looks like you're doing all grain I would use some caramel with rye malt, but not sure how much difference it will make. For English styles they tend to be...

    ESB Hop Schedule Advice Needed

    Seems like it would be fine, but if you are looking to mimic traditional styles this will probably be closer to an English IPA than an ESB. I think in terms of hop flavor especially although the bitterness is pretty high for an ESB too. To target an ESB I would say you probably have too much...

    Who has used PB2?

    I tried a different recipe than the Chocolate Covered BEAVR Nuts since the peanut was so subtle in that one. It is a sweet stout I just kegged and I must say I'm not stoked about it. With the PB2 powder front and center (I used 11oz) it brings a very vegetable flavor more like boiled peanuts...

    Chocolate Peanut Butter stout.

    To those saying the PB2 is subtle, you might be lucky. Since I initially bought a bulk pack I used some to make a sweet stout where I tried to scale back all the roastiness and cocoa to more accentuate the peanut flavors, but I just kegged it and the PB2 smells and tastes very vegetablely, more...

    "WILLIAM'S OXYGEN AERATION SYSTEM" Does it help?

    Where would you get one of those and where would you fill it? I've never noticed them in any hardware stores I frequent. I use the Home Depot refillable tank that says like 50% more but only costs about $2 more ($9.89 I think), but between that and little CO2 canisters I use, I feel so wasteful.

    Flooding in VT

    Good luck everyone with cleanup. Hopefully everyone is safe. After going through Katrina I know how it feels. My sister lives in Chesapeake, VA on the water and I was really worried.

    "WILLIAM'S OXYGEN AERATION SYSTEM" Does it help?

    I bought their O2 wand system recently because batches seemed to take days to start and forever to finish. There was more fruitiness in the longer running beers so I decided to take a stand and upgrade. So far my last two brews took 5 hours and 7 hours to start going good and were done in 4-6...

    After two years of brewing, I finally had a bad batch!

    Sanitize the CRAP out of that cube. I brewed for 1.5 to 2 years fine as well and bought one of those to try bigger batches. First time it was ok, second time was my first infection and never really had good luck after that. I think there are just too many crevices around the neck. It currently...

    Ever checked out Dudadiesel?

    I bought my plate chiller from them and have been very happy with it. Much cheaper than the "homebrew chillers" advertised online.
