    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Cooking up a double barrel brown right now. I have been adding the priming sugar to boil for a bit of alcohol kick since I only keg. So far great results.

    Blackened IPA didn't hit proj ABV

    When I go from cooking to primary there should have been plenty of air. The fellow at more beer suggested more yeast. I added it yesterday. I fermented at 68deg

    Blackened IPA didn't hit proj ABV

    This was an extract recipe from more beer. Instructions said to ferment 10-15 days at ideal temp of 68deg. Do I need more yeast? If so, a whole safeale5 package or just some of it? Thanks for your help!

    Blackened IPA didn't hit proj ABV

    2 weeks ago I brewed a Rogue Blackened Brutal Bitter which has a projected APV af 6.5%. I had 5.5ish gallons in primary fermenter. After the the brew just before pitching yeast the gravity was around 1.058 (projected was supposed to be 1.066-8). It fermented in my wine cooler at an average of...

    How much lemongrass in a wheat beer?

    Can you check to find out how much lemongrass (and ginger if it was listed) you put in the primary? Trying to see if this is a better way or if to cook the last 10 minutes may be a better way to infuse. Thanks!

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Doing a sweetwater 420 clone and sending my ESP to secondary. It kills me to have an available keg...what a great thing!

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    What's the best American IPA extract kit out there? I wanna add some citrus (orange) to it and see if I can duplicate sweetwater 420. Any ideas?

    Aging with oak chips

    I soaked 4oz oak with 2-3 oz of Jack for a few weeks and then added to beer. I tasted yesterday and it was pretty good except the beer definitely still has a bit. Maybe that's why they say age for 6+ months on the instructions. So you think its aged enough?? 6 weeks? I swear somewhere I saw...

    Aging with oak chips

    I used bourbon soaked oak chips in my Imperial Stout 8% ABV beer. I kegged my 5gallon's on 5/21. I'm not planning on drinking the beer until November. How long do you suggest I leave the oak in the keg?? I def want the flavor but don't want to overpower the beer. Thanks for the advice...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    All went well this morning. Pliny is already bubbling in the fermenter. After a bad experience fermenting my imperial stout in a bucket I'm a bit worried as this is an 8% beer. Guys at local home brew shop said fermcap would do the trick. I certainly don't need another explosion-not fun to...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I have a Pliny the Elder up on Saturday and a ESB up on Sunday (if I get to it this weekend). I'm outta kegs but still want to brew. I'm sure by the time I want to keg either I'll have an available keg....:)
