    recipe using light pilsen dme?

    You can also do a saison. I just brewed a Lemon Basil Saison with light pilsen and bavarian wheat DME.

    5 Gallon Boil Benefits

    It also helps to keep the color of your beer lighter, if you are making a lighter colored beer that is. Just remember you'll have to cool 5 gallons of wort instead of 3.

    Your Mother's Teet Milk Stout

    I racked this off into a gallon jug and a bucket and lost a full gallon to trub in the primary. So disappointing. It was clear on top but the bottom was thick as a milkshake. When I first started to siphon it wouldn't start at all, instantly clogged. It had been in primary for a week at...

    dunk a jug vs. siphon

    I am wanting to rack off a gallon of a stout to add some coffee to it. It seems like sanitizing the entire glass growler and slowly dunking it in the bucket to fill it would be easier than starting a siphon. Less chance of oxygen contact and infection in my opinion. Any thoughts?

    Your Mother's Teet Milk Stout

    My wife just got wedding cake and marshmallow vodka. They might be good in a sweet stout… Only one way to find out I suppose.

    Your Mother's Teet Milk Stout

    Hmmm. Thanks for the tip. I'm racking off a gallon on Friday for the pepper batch. Maybe I'll just soak a sliced and seeded jalapeño in some bourbon and throw it in for a week.

    Your Mother's Teet Milk Stout

    I'm brewing this up tomorrow. It'll be my first stout. I'm planning on putting a gallon in a growler and adding some red pepper flakes to make a red hot mother's milk stout. I've only seen brews with fresh peppers in the boil but nothing on flakes while fermenting. Any ideas?

    What do you drive?

    '98 Taurus dubbed the White Whale. Got it for $400 three years ago in great shape. Not really a car guy.

    American Pale Ale 15 Minute Cascade Pale Ale

    I bottled this about 2 weeks ago. Tasted great at bottling. I'll probably stick a few in the fridge today to test out.

    bring to boil after steeping and before dme addition?

    If I'm remembering correctly, late addition of extracts effects hop utilization. Lower gravity of boiling wort decreases hop utilization, I think. Can't remember off the top of my head. Late addition is useful for getting a very light color though.

    St. Patty's Swamp Water (green beer thread)

    I wonder if you added enough green food coloring to a stout if it would create a green foamy head? Any takers?

    Krausen in airlock; switched to blow-off tube

    Had to use a blowoff for the first time yesterday on a Two Hearted clone. I'm surprised it didn't blow, there was a lot of pressure built up.

    Austin Home Brew Cream Ale Bottling Catastrophe

    I enlist my girls (3 & 5) to put the stickers on the freshly capped bottles. They also like hanging around while I brew, and they are fascinated by a bubbling airlock!

    Bells 2 hearted clone

    Brewed an extract version of this on Monday and woke up Tuesday to an airlock full of hops! I went to pull the airlock out and as soon as I touched it, it shot into my hand. Probably the only reason it hadn't blown was because it was a brand new lid. Luckily it didn't gush any krausen, just...

    Dual wand bottling bucket?

    I bottled 5 gallons yesterday and as I was staring at bottle after bottle fill up I couldn't help but think it would be faster if I could fill two at once. I usually put my bucket on a milk crate on the counter and have the wand clipped to the crate for stability. The wand is connected to the...

    Bells 2 hearted clone

    I'm brewing this today but I picked up 2 bags of carapils and forget the munich. I'll just make up the missing Munich with equal parts Crystal and CaraPils. I'm sure it'll taste good, maybe not quite like 2 hearted, but good nonetheless.
