    Mid Hudson Valley, CT Round#17

    Can you please let us know where? I'm having my in-laws pick up the order if possible and they cannot lift the sacks. I'm pretty sure one time you had it at Adams in Wappingers unless that was a different buy... Thanks!

    Any reason to add lactic acid at this point?

    Agreed and I also see how my response was a bit confusing. I was simply trying to to make the point that - If the intent was to lower the PH, post mash, then it is fine to add now. Perhaps I should have read the original post better.

    Any reason to add lactic acid at this point?

    You're fine to add the acid now. It can only stand to drive down your ph so that you achieve the desired result. I add acid blend (in the boil) to most IPA's that I brew as way to give the beer a bit more bite. It works well.

    Additional yeast pitch before bottling?

    I brewed a RIS 9.8% and let it sit in secondary for about 5 months. I pitched 1 pack of us-05 in 5.5 gal to help chew up the sugars. All bottles had great carb. I'm not sure what it would have been like without it but the dry yeast was very cheap and it definitely didn't hurt.

    Bottom draining keg mash tun false bottom

    I have a bottom drain keggle mash tun as well. I have the PICO style false bottom and grain always gets passed it. It's a nightmare almost every brew day since the grain clogs the 1/2in tube that runs to the ball valve. the quickest solution i have come up with is to force my sparge water...

    English Porter Atonement Brown Porter (2011 HBT Gold Category 12)

    I've made this beer a few times now and I really enjoy it. Here's one striking thing about this beer... It tastes EXACTLY like Bell's Porter. I mean exactly. This could be reposted as a clone of the beer. Anyway, that's not very important but what is, is that it's an easy recipe to...

    BierMunchers Rolling Kegerator (BYO Published)

    Knock Knock. It's a build from the future... Had to dig this up since it inspired me to build my own. The main reason that I made this is was to reduce the price of having the ability to pour at outdoor functions. This came to about $160 as opposed to a DIY jockey box of > $250 or so. I...

    English Porter Atonement Brown Porter (2011 HBT Gold Category 12)

    Airborneguy - Thanks so much for sharing this recipe. I brewed it sometime in September 9/14. I changed the hop additions accidentally, only adding about 2.5oz of fuggles for the first addition. However, this did not contribute to a significant change IMO. This beer had intense coffee...

    My New Single Tier Strut Brew Rig

    I ran out of the nuts and haven't ordered more. I guess I didn't count correctly :drunk: I also bought non-locking casters so that was my second mistake. I sent them back and got them replaced but then realized I didn't have the nuts to mount the brackets. I went to HD and asked for the nuts...

    American Pale Ale Bee Cave Brewery Haus Pale Ale

    I brew a modified version of this recipe. I submitted it to a local home-brew fest and received a 37 and 38. Thanks to Edwort for laying the foundation for this very tasty and hoppy Pale Ale. :mug:

    What's your profession?

    I actually contemplated making my name "bigtunahaircut" but I decided against it. I should probably name some of my brews after some funny office things. Any suggestions?
