I made an IPA (basically my typical IPA hopped up pretty well with American Hops) but fermented it with Belgian Yeast strain. There's a contest coming up in my area & I thought I would enter it just 'cause. I don't expect much, but it will be fun and I love the feedback. In what category...

I recently brewed a pale ale with fresh lemongrass and ginger. I used about 1 oz. each at flameout (in a tea ball), then dry hopped with about another oz. each (after boiling) for about a week. Awesome flavor from both lemongrass & ginger - totally will do this again - maybe add some thai...

I'm thinking about submitting one of my brews to a contest in a couple of weeks and I'm unsure about the category. I brewed what is basically an IPA (along the lines of Lagunitas Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale), and added lemongrass & ginger at flameout & to the fermenter. It's a pale ale grain bill with...

Just put .75 oz lemongrass & .75 oz ginger at flameout (actually 1 min in boil). This is in an IPA, may add more in fermenter if needed. Also thought about some Thai chilies. Thoughts?

Thanks y'all - I think tho that I want it pretty sweet so I'm going to try the lactose 12 oz... no splenda & I might try brown sugar again after more research and lots of stirring...

Ok, I've read a ton of threads & my head is starting to spin. Can someone just cut to the chase & please answer the following questions? I brewed a Oatmeal Stout about 12 days ago, and just took a gravity reading and taste & it was super bitter. I think it would be great if I could sweeten it...

Well played!

Ha ha - it's funny because we have a chest freezer that she bought when our kids were born to store extra breast milk :) & now I use it exclusively for fermenting/lagering. I don't know if I can con her into the mill or not but I'll give a good college try

SWMBO is looking to get a "flour mill" to grind flour for making some sort of homemade nutragrain bars or something. Of course I'm thinking maybe this would work for grinding my grain for brewing. Are these the same type of grinder/mill or not?

This may have already been discussed in this thread, so I apologize... but... I brewed this 2 weeks ago, and I plan to bottle. Should I crash cool the carboy for a week before I bottle? Obviously then the bottles will be at room temp for a couple of weeks carbing up. I'm thinking that would...

I went with the calculator, using 52 deg- the highest ferm temp... We'll see what happens. It ended up being a little less that what I usually use so I think im going to be ok. Thanks for the help!

When figuring amount of priming sugar, I need to factor in the temperature. My question is: what temperature do I use? I am ready to bottle my bock. I fermented at 52 deg, lagered at 33, but will bring it to room temp to prime. Which temp do I use to calculate? The fermentation temp? Thanks!

I didn't do the diacetyl rest, because I sampled it and it had no hints of butterscotch or anything, and plus I knew I would be lagering it for a long time. I don't have a specific reason to think there is a problem, other than most of my batches have been under 1.014 FG in the past, but like I...

I'm sure I'm the only homebrewing high school choir director.

I'm currently lagering my 2nd lager, goatchze's Brazos Bock from this site. I fermented it for 16 days at 52 degrees, and it went from OG 1.052 to FG 1.014. I racked it to secondary 4 weeks ago and dialed it down to 33 degrees. I plan to let it go another 4 weeks. I'm worried that I didn't...

Looks like a good one, it certainly would make things easier. Now to convince SWMBO that I should spring for one... uh maybe next year... Thanks!

I don't have a refractometer, I've heard mixed reviews - I don't want to spend the money on something that is unreliable. You would recommend it?

Yes, I am correcting for temp. I definitely think you are correct in saying the beer alchemy is not set up right. Its the first time I've brewed with it, that's got to be the problem. I guess I shouldn't trust the computer's math after all :) thanks y'all
