So I've seen data showing that potatoes have enzymes and can self convert. I've also seen complex methods trying to extract sugars. Has anyone just tried mashing at 155 for an hour and a half? I was thinking of doing just this, and adding some instant rice and then aging sorghum syrup during...

My wife is kicking me out of the closet too. After seeing this thread, I have restored hope. Thanks for posting!

ANything new? I've got a couple recipes I want to try with some wild fermented honey yeast.

has anyone tried PURPOSELY "infecting their beer with wild yeast from honey? I was thinking of trying to spontaneously ferment an american amber ale with some honey from a local apiary.

THIS is the exact thread I've been looking for! So much info for a question I didn't actually ask :)

a year and a half later....

I built my manifold and sparge arm out of cpvc. Both in 45 mins for less than $20. Its a simple bar with holes drilled into and the ends capped. Used it last night for the first time. I was able to walk away for an hour or so.

Thanks Tykees, but not really an option at this point

I am doing an american wheat beer with a 1:1 ration of pilsner and wheat malts. I am going to try fly sparging for the first time and I am concerned about the "gumminess" of the mash. Last time I did a wheat beer I had a stuck sparge. Since I was batch sparging it wasn't a huge deal. I see beta...

I built my sixth stirplate today. I am working out the problems with the magnet placement and the speed control. I had to take apart the 2x2 fan and rewire it. I used super glue and electrical tape LOL. I think I may keep three at my house. one battery and 2 corded.

I'm addicted to building stuff now

I'm actually making my paddle section a bit long and will have some half inch drilled holes. I haven't thought about putting a no slip grip on it, but I like that Idea. Cheers

I know we kinda ganked the thread with this, but that looks spectacular. I am going to have to build one write an article on the beer lovers site.

Petro, that is brilliant. Soldered our riveted?

I thought about this when I got my first keg, cut and tossed the top into the scrap bin. I was pissed when I did a search and found this thread. Now, I have 2 more kegs, got one cut and I am drilling the holes now. I recommend titanium drill bits. I've done have the holes on one bit. Also I...

Kmcogar, I'd love to see the recipe you use for the Old Bay Beer.

Resurrection! I've been thinking this very same thing. My wife's family is from MD and old bay goes on a lot of foods in our house, and beer if a must have while eating crabs. I want to take a very light tasting beer and use some lemony and/or peppery hops and dose it with Old Bay. My worry...

I did something similar 5#pils 4.5#wheat 1#munich 1oz cascade 60 1/2oz cascade 30 1/2oz citra 15 1/2oz cascade 15 1oz cascade knock out whirlpool for 10 nottingham dry yeast. brewed on 3/10 how did yours turn out?

Well, there is 5.5 gallons of "porter" in my closet. It smells like cocoa, looks like dark hot chocolate and taste like unsweetened chocolate citrus. I think maybe 7 ozs of cocoa was a bit much, but we'll see. I'm going to give it another week or so in the better bottle before bottling. I...
