I have this same thing cross posted to r/homebrewing on reddit. They have told me the same thing about the crystal/caramel grains. I also have changed the 60min addition to 1oz warrior.

I will be making my first all grain beer (BIAB) hopefully this weekend and figured that instead of using a kit I would just make up my own beer. I think I have it worked out but would still like some input and opinions on just about every aspect. The recipe is as follows: Fermentables...

I have to bottle some cider today so im trying to figure out the best way to go about doing it. It seems that alot of people have had success with stovetop pasteurization method, but im leaving town tomorrow afternoon and have to take it all with me, do you think it will be safe to travel four...

Can anyone explain the difference in taste when backsweetening with Apple Juice, Apple Juice Concentrate, Spelnda, and Lactose? Or if people have used other ingredients to do it. I have to bottle as I do not have a kegging system and I am familiar with the stovetop pasteurization process.

mind expanding on that thought a bit? maybe a link to a recipe?

I had intended to do the two gallons first then the sugar then bottle, but I messed up and was basking in a moment of glory while I was doing it. You see, immediately preceding this error I dumped sanitizer into the bottling bucket only to find that the spigot had broken in two and now had...

correct...and that is reassuring

So when I was bottling my most recent beer I decided to split the batch, 3 gallons in bottles and the other 2 split between two one gallons jugs for experimentation purposes. So I measured out the sugar into equal 1/5ths and boiled a bit of water and 3/5ths of the sugar. This is where I messed...

Congratulations on achieving what so many people aspire to. I myself was just talking about this with someone not two hours ago.

I am going to hijack this thread because I am thinking of something similar but with strawberries. My only question pertaining to strawberries is what about all those little seeds on them, will the eventually settle to the bottom of the secondary and then just rack to the bottling bucket...

I stole the label from somewhere so I can't claim any credit for it, but its awesome nonetheless

I think it would be better as May the Schwartz-bier With You

After reading through a bunch of the posts I decided that this is my next brew. Went out and got all the ingredients for the extract brew and will be doing it next week.

done deal thanks alot guys

So later today I will be making a Belgian White. The recipe calls for some specialty grains to steep for 30mins the add the extract and hops etc. However after reviewed my supplies I realized that I have no bags to hold the hops or grains in. What is the best way to go about doing this? Oh...

I was surprised when I picked one of these up. They are thick and heavy and seem pretty durable.

I cleaned out the place. Sadly they only had 6 of them. Thanks for the tip.

So I bottled my first beer last week (sunday). I know most, if not everyone on the forums say to wait three weeks minimum before opening your first beer and drinking it. I decided to open one after a week. I want to open and drink one once a week so I can see how it changes over time. I...

I just learned something new. So a day or two before bottling it is best to drop the temperature as low as possible to help the beer clarify. Is this a good habit to get into for all beers?

Update: I am just going to keep updating this so as not to make too many threads. Its been just over a week since I pitched the yeast and watched like a child on Christmas eve to see if there were bubbles. By the next morning the airlock was bubbling away, however the next day it was going...
