Awesome, thanks guys. I'll play around with this.

Thanks. I've always just dumped, but I'm getting really tired of hoisting a kettle full of hot water. Right now, I just overshoot 12° and it works out perfect. If I were to drain as mentioned above, any thought on how much over my mash temp to target?

I'm giving some thought to a three-tier gravity fed system but had a few questions: How long can I expect it to take to drain 4-6 gallons from the HLT into the MLT? Additionally, what kind of temperature loss can I expect during that time? Thanks in advance.

Yes, mix them into the beer...I typically gently swirl the carboy to get them into the liquid. Don't do it too much or hard though, you don't want to oxidize it.

I tweaked my usual IPA recipe to create a very hoppy, semi unbalanced IPA. Very happy with how this one came out...big nose, lots of citrus flavor and a long bitter finish. 5.5 g OG 1061 IBU 90 SRM 7 ABV 6.4% 70.3% Pils 11.2% Munich 11.2% Oatmeal 7.4% C-20 1.5 Centennial @ 60 1...

A group of us were looking at doing this a bit ago. Unfortunately, I don't have advice on the yeast/bugs, but as far as fermentation goes, we were going to ferment the beer, then add to the barrel and pitch the bugs.

I did a strawberry wheatwine for mine and called it the plunge. had a strawberry plunging into beer for the label...

Last night I popped a bottle of trader joes mission st. 12th anniversary ale - an imperial brown. Thought it was pretty good, especially for under $4.

It kind of depends on what you want out of it. You'll definitely want some in there around 60 min, but after that, I typically wait and do a 15, and large additions at 5 and flameout (followed by dry hoping) to get maximum flavor and aroma. You may want to use a recipe calculator to make sure...

Mikkeller 19 Reds Rye PA Schlafly AIPA

So I've been brewing for a few years now and decided I'd like to come up with a logo. Unfortunately, i'm not the most creative person in the world so i'm reaching out to you all for help. I call my brewery Backwater Brewhouse since I spend most of my time skiing and wakeboarding the...

I too had it for the first time last night and thought it was pretty bad. I understand that there are no official guidelines that breweries need to follow when classifying beer, but to call this an IPA is pretty sad ...

Two flags fly above my land that really sum up how I feel, One is the colors that fly high and proud, the red the white the blue, The other ones got a rattlesnake with a simple statement made, Don't tread on me, is what it says, and I'll take that to my grave. Aaron Lewis

Cascade will work great, but you could use a whole host of others: Amarillo, centennial, citra, sorachi ace, and so on. BrewDudes website has a great list of hops, their chatacteristics and good substitutes...you may want to start there...

Agree with the posts above. If you plan on using them more than just this one trip do some research, try then on and see what's most comfortable for you. I've got Mares equipment and absolutely love it...

Do a search and you'll find a whole thread on untappd user names. Cheers.

Sometimes I use as high as 80L crystal malt in my IPAs...I just use a lot less of it. Depends on the flavor you're looking to impart.

Love Schlaflys AIPA and yes, Square One had some awesome beers. Drinking a Guinness tonight as I BBQ.
