    Sanitizing Dextrose additions?

    I am thinking of trying an all grain plus dextrose recipe for Dogfish 120 Minute. It requires alot of small dextrose additions once the all grain fermentation has died down and new wlp099 is pitched. My question pertains to sanitation. The few recipes and threads that I have seen on this do...

    Wyeast high gravity attenuation

    I brewed my first really big partial mash recently - an Imperial IPA that I plan to age on bourbon soaked oak. I'm going for the Dogfish 90 minute/Burton Baton taste. My OG started at 1.100 for about a 4 gallon batch (I didn't want to dilute any further since I was really hoping to hit that...

    Re-pitch dry yeast for bottle condition?

    I just brewed a partial mash IIPA with an OG of 1.100 using Wyeast 1098 British Ale. I am guessing the FG will be in the 1.025 range if I get 75% attenuation. This will be 10%ABV - the upper limit of Wyeast 1098 according to Wyeast. For those with experince with high gravity brewing - do you...

    Awesome Indian Brown Recipe

    I just tried my second batch of a Dogfish Indian brown clone and even at only 3.5 weeks old it is amazing IMO. I started with a recipe I found on Hopville, and followed it for my first batch. I felt it was lacking in bitterness, body, and color. Taste was off slightly as well. For this...

    Will Campden Harm Good Yeast?

    they were probably 50 degrees or so - beer was at 70. I have a cheap stickon thermometer on the fermenter and it didnt drop appreciably from 70...i didn even notice it drop at all in fact. I decided to make a starter tonight from a packet of Safbrew T58 dry yeast. I'll pitch that in...

    Will Campden Harm Good Yeast?

    Thanks. Well - I went with my outlined method (pureed berries and added campden - and put them in the fridge for a day), and I think I may have a problem. I took my 5 gallons of Blonde Wheat that had been in primary for a week (with Wyeast 3944, top cropping) and racked off half into a...

    Will Campden Harm Good Yeast?

    I am making a blueberry wit and will be adding 3 lbs of frozen blueberries to 2.5 gallons in secondary. The plan is to puree the thawed blueberries and sterilize with a campden tablet 24 yrs before pitching into the secondary. My question is - will the campden harm the 'good' yeast (as...

    Measuring fruit's effect on gravity

    thanks for the replies. That link makes perfect sense! I would have to buy a refractomoter to get the exact Brix of my blueberries - but from my internet research it seems that most blueberries are between 10-15 Brix. Either way it wont be too far off from my OG of 12.5 Brix, so after a...

    Measuring fruit's effect on gravity

    I will be trying a blueberry wit (aiming for Sweetwater Blue - an Atlanta craft brew) soon and and I will be adding 2.5 lbs of frozen (sterilized with campden) blueberries to 2.5 gallons (half batch) in secondary. How does one go about measuring the effect on gravity of sugars added during...
