It all looks great. I'm in.

Count me in please.

Ahhhh...temperature! That hadn't occurred to me. Thanks.

So how can you ever check a "pre-boil" gravity?

Hey all, I'm making a version of Old Monster barleywine from Brewing Classic Styles. It calls for 16.7 pounds of light LME and aims for a pre-gravity boil of 1.098. I have added approx. 15 pounds of Northern Brewer Gold LME to 6 gallons of water, heated to dissolve the extract, and yet my...

Consider me replied, please!

You think it needs to be boiled first if you will ultimately be adding it to the boil?

Anyone see any problems with refrigerating or freezing the water the grains have been steeped in for later use?

You're exactly right about the IBUs! I forgot to change my boil size to 6.5 gallons...that makes a big difference. I'm going to give the Summit a shot and see how it turns out. I'll also increase the dry hop by an ounce or two. Really, I can't imagine it will be bad.

Too bad I have 4oz of non-organic Summit in the freezer. Better not tell my wife about the fertilizer or she'll never drink it.

Good lord! 296 IBUs...very impressive.

Sounds good. Perhaps I'll ditch the summit and just go with 1.5-2.0oz Simcoe at 60 min and then add another .5oz each of simcoe and amarillo for dry hops. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the advice. I've never used corn sugar in my brews yet, but will consider it. Would you skip the summit and just go with Simcoe for bittering? 5oz of dry hop sounds delicious, but expensive. I think I might try to up the dry hops an ounce or so though.

Any thoughts on this recipe? My only concern is that it won't have enough of a bitter backbone. But then again, I like my doubles a little on the sweet side and I really like hop flacor and aroma. Batch size: 5 gal Boil size: 6.25 gal Boil time: 60min OG: 1.086 FG: 1.023 IBU: 64.0 ABV: 8.4%...

So are you guys just wrapping the string around the neck of the tank (just below the valve) and letting it hang?

That's sounds fantastically low budget. Picture?

Hello all, I'm looking to get my 5lb co2 tank outside the keezer to make room for more kegs. I like the idea of mounting the tank to the 2x10 collar so I don't constantly knock it over. It would be a great bonus if the tank could easily be unholstered for refilling. I'm sure there are...

I go online to buy some hops and extract and wind up spending hundreds. My wife should probably never leave me alone.
