I have a 5 gal. corny full of ginger ale. It has slices of fresh ginger in the keg (cut into stick shapes large enough to not be able to plug the downtube). It has a 4 foot (short) cobra tap on it. I de-pressurized the keg for serving and set the reg at 1psi, held the tap at chest level and...

I bought 44oz (in weight) of Spring Valley Sweet Sorghum syrup (100% pure, made by Mennonites using a horse-drawn mill in KY) with intentions of brewing with it. My instincts tell me to go for something rich, most likely either a dark Belgian/American "hybrid" or maybe an Imperial Porter/Brown...

Many thanks for the replies . . . and for the formula (MalFet). @Golddiggie I do plan on fermenting the beer fully, then adding my oak chips. I don't want to soak the chips in liquor because I'm using Gentleman Jack and that would just be a waste of good whiskey. Instead, I'm going to steam...

@Mileyj -- make a measured sample of beer/bourbon at bottling, get the ratio right, then pour directly into bottling bucket

I use the same type of MT and also do a batch sparge. I use the two pitcher method mentioned above as well. I admittedly sparge too fast, draining 5 gallons of liquid in 25-30 minutes . . . I don't whirlpool, don't filter, and indiscriminately transfer my wort to the primary by opening the...

any suggestions on how to taste test the bourbon flavor addition would be appreciated as well . . .

I'm brewing a second rendition of an American Nut Brown I entered in a local contest last year. I brew all-grain 5 gallon batches, and use a single infusion mash with a batch sparge. I recently started kegging beer, but continue to bottle as well. I have a two-part question: 1) I want...
