I'm assuming this would work fine, but thought I would run it by everyone in case someone could confirm it for me. My Plan is to carbonate the beer at low levels, then serve it on my Nitro Tap handle for a month or so. Then take what is left over, purge the keg with CO2, raise the carbonation...

So I just got my first Conical and brewed 10 gallons of imperial Porter Saturday. I used a 2-Liter starter from a stir plate of wyeast 1335. I'm considering doing an English Mild on Wednesday(tomorrow) and want to use the same yeast. My Porter was fermenting fairly well already on Sunday...

So a group of us did a recipe loosely based on Bourbon County Brand Stout, we did 60 gallons, let it ferment out and filled a buffalo trace barrel. That was back in November. We are emptying it out tonight, how it will work is each of the 5 main participants gets a 5 gallon keg of it straight...

Ok so for Christmas I got a 20 gallon Blichmann. My current system up until this point looked like this - 15 gallon Mega Pot HLT - into a 70 or 120 quart cooler - 20 Gallon Mega Pot Boil Kettle. I'm looking at adding a RIMS element to my system and using either the 20 Gallon Mega Pot(Has...

I just found this on Amazon, I did a quick search and didn't come up with anything. Amazon.com: 10" Draft beer Hop back Randall: Kitchen & Dining I'm curious if anyone out there has any experience with it, I'm considering buying it for a friend for Xmas if I knew it would work fine.

I'm brewing a Saison tomorrow with 3711, I would like to make a huge starter for example 2-Liters, then pitch say 1.5 Liters. Then step up the remaining 1/2 liter back to say 2.5 liters and let it finish out and collect it for future brews. I'm curious how big can I go off the initial...

I have been planning on filling my own whisky barrel, but just have not been able to get it worked out where my group can get together and do a couple big batches and get one filled. So now I have 2 barrels with a 3rd one on the way this summer. I was considering cutting one of them up to use...

I had three floyds Apocalypse Cow tonight, it was the first beer that really felt new and unique to me in quite some time. A simple idea that I haven't seen done anywhere else in the past. I'm looking for recipe ideas on this if anyone has had it. Here is the description from three floyds...

Founders Backwoods Bastard is one of my all time favorites, unfortunately its very hard to come by and only made once a year. I have searched high and low for a clone with no luck, so here is what I came up with, any thoughts would be appreciated. Its basically a ramped up version of a Dirty...

I really liked the results on my attempt to clone Arrogant Bastard, going to make another batch, 10 gallons this time. The first batch was 11lbs 2 row base 2lbs 120 Crystal 3oz Chinook and White Labs 007 I want to get similar results only with dry yeast, wondering what would be the...

So comments in my thread about my first Imperial Stout on how strong Peated Malt is got me thinking about the worlds best scotch - Laphroaig, probably the Peatiest Scotch out there, if someone knows of one more so I would love to hear it. So here is what I'm thinking, a nice Ale inspired by...

Planning on doing my first Imperial Stout All Grain in a couple weeks and am looking for feedback for the recipe. I want to be a big chocolaty, smokey, black as black stout, not overly hoppy. Here is what I'm Considering. 15 lbs Base 2 Row 2 lbs Chocolate 2 lbs Smoked Malt 1/2 lb Black...

Planning on using a freshly used whiskey barrel this summer as a secondary for a huge batch of beer. Just curious if anyone here has done this and what method they used for sanitation without compromising the Whiskey flavor.

Since this seems to be a popular cooler, I'm sure someone has pushed it to the max. How much grain can realistically be put in this assuming a 1.25qt/lb strike? I realize that the manifold could impact this, but probably not by much. The how big your mash tun thread would suggest it would...

I have been slowly putting together an All Grain System over the last two months. With the local weather predicting a nice partly sunny and 50 degree day in the Midwest I figured the moment of truth was here. I quickly ordered ingredients with the goal of breaking in the system Sunday morning...

Hello all, just checking in and introducing myself, I'm from Clinton Iowa. My name is Brad Balk, I have brewed extract batches on and off for about 15years, but have been reluctant to make the all grain plunge. Finally a combination of time, desire, and resources have come together nicely and...
