Not sure how it's gonna work. This is the first time I've brewed basically totally sober and I screw up. Haha. What would be the recommended method for adding 1lb of sugar into the fermenter when it is already at desired volume? I'm assuming boil on stove with "x" amount of water and chill and...

HAHAHAHAHAH I re-read the instructions and I totally forgot to add 1lb of table sugar.

Brewed a belgian dark strong ale yesterday. Had the same LHBS crush the grains that ALWAYS crushes my grains. Mashed at 155'f. Follow Bobby_M's mash technique I split the remaining steps into two addition batches. (2.5 gal + 2.5 gal) which got me to my intended initial boil volume. I hit my...

Brandy & Eggnog.... MMM

North Coast Red Seal. Currently drinking a soda while I wait for family and friends to come over. Throwing a BBQ for 12 tonight. Kinda a pre-house warming house warming. There will be lots of beer consumed tonight, both home brew and retail craft/microbrews.

Think I am going to run this as is. This was factoring a efficiency of 70% (on my part). I will do a 155'F mash and see how that turns out. Thanks.

I plugged the recipe into BS and it comes up a little low on OG. it shoes 1.077OG and color at 17.3. What was the point of adding those ingredients at drop of krausen?

Thinking about brewing this. What grain would you recommend increasing to eliminate the need for the step mash? I was thinking about upping the Pilsner 2-Row to 7lbs and the Vienna Malt to 6lbs... input?

Was at the local pub hanging with the owner/GM of Clown Shoes. Came home after a few pints to catch my Dad (visiting from out of town) in a rare form. He was wanting to sip on some alcohol and listen to music. I killed a bottle of wine myself so far and we are still going strong. What a great night!

I have so much in storage that it is easy to just add another. :D

Yeah I have my bottles down stairs. Didn't want to get them for exact quote. I still have my 2010 and 2009 to drink. Looking to do a vertical here shortly. I would have aged it myself. :mug:

You know you are drinking it VERY YOUNG. It says best after 08/2012

Snuck a quick 1/2 pint of Mohr Brewing Robust Porter. Stuff is sooooo good. Calling it a night.

Left Coast Red Seal. Love this beer.

Picked this up on a whim tonight. Seen it a few times and have passed. Glad I pulled the trigger as it is damn good.

Finishing up the last of the 2011 La Folie. Still scrumptious

Got this 620 GPH Submersible Fountain Pump at Harbor Freight for $35 on sale a few months back. I have a 50' IC and as long as the water source and the IC/pump are on the same plane it moves a decent amount of water. During summer in Texas using some frozen 2L soda bottles (4) in a 5 gallon...

"you've reached a non-working number" WTF? I live in Texas anyway. Oh well.

First sour at the new place. Soooo good.

Enjoying this while SWMBO decorates our new house we moved into on the 2nd.
