Awesome!!! Im pretty lax in my fertilizing i just added 4-4-5 organic fert to the soil and use that once a month. I wouldnt spray the cones with anything because you dont want that getting in your beer. Also ive got a few varieties ill be bringing down myself to let you try.

Thats deffinately the character im looking for in it im going to have to do a few different treatments and see what gives the best results.

I know all about chipotles. That is not the direction i want for this smoked beer. I used some in a secondary in an imperial stout i took 3rd in a competition with. Im just looking to get a vague spicy/tingling sensation when drinking the beer, not the flavors associated with the peppers.

Im looking to add a little bit of a spicy sensation to a smoked porter check out my post in a different section of the forum www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/adding-spice-beer-325711/

I could split it between 2 2gallon jugs and 1 1gallon jug. Im thinking of adding 1 teaspoon to the boil between 10 & 20 minutes......

Im going to be making a smoked porter soon and I would like to add a little bit of cayene to the boil or secondary to give the beer a little spicy edge. Think a slight spicy tingle on the tongue is what im shooting for. I do know that spice is a subjective thing and what is spicy for one my not...

I grew up a hop head. My dad always had snpa on hand at all times. He would always pour me a sip or two when i asked for some of it. So i never not knew a love for hoppy beers. Converesly its been a long and slow shift towards appreciating maltier beers for me over the years.

Also im not sure if i posted it but the og of the red ale was 1.063 and the porter was 1.048.

I do all grain. Well i will check the calibration on my thermometer. It was reading 150 and would drop to 148 after i stirred the mash which doesnt usually happen, it usually goes up. The thermometer is on the edge of the mash its one of those that screws into the tun. Also i always over pitch...

Im.thinking about going to the lhbs to get another vial and pitch it in my porter toughts??

Exact same temp schedule i did. I am only 2 points away on the red ale of where i want to be so no big deal but the porter is posing more of a problem im 8 points away on that one

Bump anyone have experience with wlp 005

Im having a problem with attenuation with this yeast strain with 2 beers i have done. One was a malty red ale my friend devised and decided to ise this yeast. Made 2L starter and pitched after crashing the yeast. The second was a porter that i just pitched to tje ueast cake of thr red ale. The...

Yea i just switched to the fly sparge set up so i havent actually done a high gravity brew as of yet im getting ready to do one soon. Also ive noticed a nice increase in efficiency since fly sparging pretty slowly taking about an hour. This was a question i was pondering for a while now and ive...

I just have a mash screen in the bottom of a converted keg as my mash tun and i fly sparge. I use a pump to drain the wort from the tun to the kettle. There is a ball valve underneath the screen that is used to drain the mash.

Ok thank you for the reply i was just considering ways to improve the efficiency of my higher gravity beers.

So in my experiences the higher gravity beers mosylt people go to make the worse the efficiency. My question is would it be possible to increase the efficiency, of an imperial stout or iipa or any other imperial type, by using a percentage of 6 row malt as part of the base malts. Asking due to 6...

Awesome sounds like its right up my alley. I just picked a pound up from rebel brewer the other day. Im going to make a singke hop pale so i can get a good feeling for their flavor and aroma.

Bump anyone??
