I brewed up a batch of Midwest's Rocky Pale Ale on 8/7/11 and I've gotta say, what an awesome brew. The original recipe called for: 3lbs Breiss DME 3.3lbs Gold LME 1.5lb Caramel 60L Grains 6oz. Dark Crystal Grains 1/2 oz. Magnum Pellet Hops (13.1%AA) -60min boil 1oz. Ahtanum Pellet...

Yeah, I didn't mean to single you out. Just want everyone to be safe out there who are unfamiliar with butane extractions.

And the figures.....

some portions of the genome homozygous and other regions aneuploid (10, 11). The S. eubayanus portions of these chromosomal fusions that occurred in S. pastorianus would have provided ample nearly identical sequence to seed the recombination needed to introduce S. cerevisiae DNA into other...

Ecological and Genetic Isolation of Two Cryotolerant Species. The unanticipated detection of two closely related sympatric cryotolerant populations prompted us to investigate the degree of genetic isolation between them by measuring the meiotic sterility of hybrids of the two populations...

Bottlebomber, I know of a few people who have had their houses blow up over butane extractions. The bottom line.. doing the BULK of a butane extraction INDOORS is completely UNSAFE. And for legal purposes, it should not be promoted on this forum. If anyone wants to do a SAFE butane...

They are actually extracting terpenes as well, which produces a significant amount of flavor and aroma in both plants. How well your product comes out really depends on the purging technique. Too hot for too long and you remove the terpenes.. too cold and you are left with residual butane. This...

9 days of bottle. Tastes absolutely great now. This batch I only filled to 4.5 gallons but it still tastes awesome.

Had a great night eating epinadas and watching the fights last night with some friends. Came home and got my Belgian Wit going. It's bubbling away as we speak. :mug:

Got mine bottled up yesterday. Samples taste pretty good so far. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Awesome kyle! I'm about to bottle in a couple days here. Right behind you brother.

How the hell did they throw him in the box for that hipcheck? That was textbook.

I'm sitting with a 0.994 specific gravity right now. Thanks for the help btw.

I am planning on carbonating my cider this next week. It has been sitting in a carboy for a little over 2 weeks at this point. The total volume is 1 gallon and I used some Red Star Premier Cuvee (dry wine) yeast to get it started. Any idea how much sugar I need to add before bottling in...

I'll have to look into Northern Brewery. I've had a couple friends mention it to me as well. Just checked my specific gravity after 10 days in primary. It's sitting around 1.016. Expected to finish around 1.010-1.011. I hope it is safe to taste it while it is still fermenting because I...

So I parafilmed it.. got a few bubbles. Then the water lock stopped again. I'm thinking I stretched the film out too much in one area. At least I know it is still producing CO2 slowly. Thanks for the help guys.

Ahh the fights. Now we've got a game.

It just occurred to me while working in the lab today that an easy method to prevent the leaks might be using Parafilm. For me, its convenient and available. Any thoughts or experiences on using this for a better seal?

Yeah, I'm using an HDPE bucket so I was wondering if that was the case. I guess its just a waiting game at this point. Thanks for the quick response XXguy.
