Tone down on the chipotles. You can always try a recipe, if its not enough heat, then add more chiles. Starting off with 8-9 peppers doesn't give you a good baseline. Now you just have 4+ gallons of hot ass beer. Start small and work your way up

Habanero is beer is possible if done right. I recently did a chipotle habanero blonde ale that was epic. Problem is it can be easily over done. I only used one habanero and I love hot/spicy food. I think some previous posts are right, definitely don't dump it, blend or use for salsa/marinade

@Revvy, much thanks to you!!! The first time I bottled was less than superb. I eventually read your thread, and while not an exact copy of your process, I took some tips and tricks an applied it to my set up. Now, as you can see by this thread, bottling for me is a relaxing, enjoyable process.

I may in the future definitely pick up a kegging set up. Both have their advantages and disadvantages agreed. But when people all the time curse bottling, I'm like, well you just didn't take the time to fine tune your set up to what works best. Like I said, I'll probably pick up a kegging set up...

Im getting ready to bottle my 5th batch.yes I know, not the most by any standards but enough to know my way around my bottling set up. I keep reading all these "bottling sucks" threads, but it doesn't have to be that way. Make it enjoyable for you. When I bottle, I grab the iPod and headphones...

So I've finally got a half barrel keg that will soon be converted into my new brew kettle. After some research I have a few questions and I'm looking for input. I haven't made the step to all grain yet but this is my starting point. Inside the keg what has worked best for you guys to drain the...

Touché good sir

Well problem is buddy only has corny keg hook ups!!??is there a cheap/readily available C02 to sanke keg hook up?

Yes let me clarify, there is a kegerator available.

So a good buddy of mine managed to score a 1/2 BBL keg of Yuengling! Seeing as how we live in CA you can imagine our excitement! My question is, if he just uses the regularly supplied keg hand pump, do we run the risk of oxidation after a few days, ie is our time limited on the beer using this...

agreed, it took me a little while to find the magical search function in the corner. My life was forever changed the day i found it. I agree though, some posts reccently have gotten off topic. You could put 10 homebrewers in a room and they might never agree on a topic. There is more than one...

Wow this is excellent. Couldn't ask for better review.

Touché good sir, I forgot to mention I run 6.5 gal carboys. You could run 5gal carboys with a blowoff but I don't have the stones to try it. That could make for a bug mess even with a blowoff.

SOrry let me clarify, Im worried the ball valve assembly would be to high up in the pot that when its time to move the wort, that the ball valve outlet will be higher than the wort level
