The geltain worked great! My beer is much clearer than what it normally is, still not crystal clear though. U don't think you can get to that brilliant level without filtering. In either case, I will be using gelatin for all of my brews going forward.

I just brewered 10 gal of blonde on Sunday. I plan on taking a gravity reading this Sunday and if it's where I want it to be then I'll toss in some gelatin. It will be the first time I use it but I want to make my beers much clearer than what they have been in the past. Here is what I will do...

This looks great! I would love to make mine look like this. I just bought my chest freezer and I think the look of this tile on the top would look perfect in my kitchen. Any tips for replicating your build? Thanks!

It turned out pretty darn good! The color was spot on and the mouth feel was right as well. I overshot my mash temp a bit to start so it turned out a bit sweeter than what I would have liked. But to get a beer that tastes similar to the censored ale, this recipe is a good one to start with...

I just cold crashed my red ale for about 4 days before kegging. It definitely made a difference in clarity. I dont know why it would hurt anything to leave it in longer unless its already been in the fermenter for longer than 4 weeks.

So what's the consensus of putting it into your keg? I have a batch of cloudy nut brown that I'd like to clear up. If I keep it cool for a few days after I add the gelatin can it be sucked through the tap to get rid of it? Thanks!

I just racked a cloudy nut brown to the keg two days ago. If I take it off the gas and put this in there the. It should clear up it two days? I have never used it before so I want to make sure I do it right since I'm planning on entering it into our club competition. Can I out the gas back...

I just racked this from primary to the keg after 9 days on the yeast. It attenuated perfectly, nailed the FG at 1.011 and my OG was 1.054. The hydrometer sample tasted a bit odd but I'm notching that up to the temp at 66 and the EKG still being more promenent since it is young. The aroma was...

I just brewed this today. Did an 11 gal batch so I doubled the recipe and split the wort into two fermenters. I am very excited for this beer as the hydrometer sample tasted great. The first sip was a little harsh but I imagine that it mellows out with a few weeks of age. Btw, I have never...

Im planning on brewing this in the next couple of weeks. My dad always wonders how I can drink the dark, hoppy, and heavy beers that I typically make. Ive decided that I will slowly wean him on to those good brews starting with this one. It looks great! Very much looking forward to getting...

Ive been brewing with my buddy since we started brewing with our first extract batches. We kinda made out a plan and split up the responsibilities such as cleaning, getting the water started, and keeping track of hop additions. Laying out all of the ingredients and equipment helps a lot too...

I get charged $15 for 5#. It sounds like im at the higher end of the spectrum in Minneapolis.

Its nice to know that others are planning for z-day just like me. :D I just got a kegging system for Christmas as well and will be brewing my first AG batch tomorrow. Definitely looking forward to putting it into the keg. Ill be sure to keep these tips in mind :mug:

Thats kind of what I figured. As long as I purged the extra O2 then I would be set. Thanks!

My buddy and I just acquired a new AG system along with kegging systems for each of us. Since we dont live with each other we need to split our batches. We intend on brewing 10 gallon batches so we can evenly split it 5gal/5gal between our kegs. But, if we brew a big beer our AG system can...

So if you shake to carb then this could be a problem? Ive been told that you crank up the psi for your target volume depending on the temp and voila, 24 hrs later you have carbonated beer. Then you put it back down to 10-12 psi for serving. Is this a bad technique?

Yeah I just wanted to post it to show what I got from the podcast since according to them it was a cloned recipe. I figured based off of that it was ok to stick it on here.

How do I get this deleted? I should have posted it in the recipe thread and have already made another post in there... Thanks!

I am going to brew this on Saturday per the instructions on the Can You Brew It podcast by Jamil and Tasty. Has anyone else used that recipe? If so what were your results? Here is what I gathered from the podcast with only a few minor tweaks because I couldnt find any Horizon hops so I used...
