I ordered the Pliny kit from morebeer and brewed it up last Friday. On Saturday morning, I went in the garage and saw 8 oz of maltodextrin that was supposed to be in the boil. My og was on target. I've done a different pliny extract clone that did not have any maltodextrin in it, and that...

Just so you all know, my beer turned out great! Had a few hop head friends taste test and they loved it. Also brought it to my homebrew club meeting and it was a hit. These aren't people trying to make me feel good, they'll tell you straight up how it is. None of that matters though, cause I...

Also I just got back from a local home brew club meeting. And had a few more:rockin: My pliny clone that I changed quite a bit, also my first homebrew, was quite a success so I am celebrating!!! Just sayin if I messed up somewhere lol.

So I am not sure if this is the correct forum, but I think it is. I searched and didn't see a similar post so here goes. I feel like I should try and give back a little and I know freezers are a hot item in homebrewing. I check slickdeals a lot and saw this posted there so I hope it helps...

Thanks, I'll try this out.

I thought you wanted to avoid shaking a fermenting wurt at all costs.

The first gravity reading I took was after 11 days. The second I took today was 2 weeks, and it hadn't moved. This is my original page. It has all the instructions and ingredients. Also this was an extract kit. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f37/pliny-elder-extract-kit-help-328036/

I am attempting a Pliny clone. So Thursday I checked my gravity and it was at 1.025. This was after 11 days fermenting. Today I checked it again and it is still at 1.025. My target is 1.015. I have it fermenting in a chest freezer that stays between 64-68. Maybe a little cold so I upped the...

I guess this question would belong in the fermenting thread. Going to ask there. Thanks

Well I'd like to know the answer to this too, considering this is my first beer period and I thought I had to dry hop in a secondary

Not sure, but I thought the purpose of the secondary was to get the wort off the yeast cake and then dry hop in a cleaner wort. I know my friend doesn't ever use a secondary and dry hops in the keg. Is this what you are thinking?

Brewed yesterday! Had a couple of small boilovers, but finished with a bit over 5 gallons. The lme was fine, but that dme went nuts! It's been a bit over 24 hrs and the yeast is going. Not much foam, but the blowoff tube is bubbling the star san mix like crazy. Might've added too much. My...

REPOST, sorry! I searched but didn't come up with anything. Just scanning the posts now and I saw it. Again sorry

Thanks guys. I honestly do not care about color at all, just the taste:mug:

Are you sure? Earlier Yooper said, "If you decide to do a full boil, follow the instructions with when to add malt/hops." I am doing a full boil. Also I have 6 lbs of lme and 3 of dme if I remember correctly. Are you saying to add it all at the end? I just want this to be as close to Pliny...

Sure do. Got about everything I need for 1 brew. I need some carboys and kegs to make more beer to fill the 15 cf freezer I just got. Eventually going to make it into a keezer. I promised the wife a wheat beer next, but I have a light ale kit that came with the starter kit that I want to...

I figure I'd just be setting it in a funnel on top of the carboy, so size isn't as big a deal, and that one was all stainless and a decent price, so I went for it

I got this one. http://www.amazon.com/HIC-Brands-that-Cook-Essentials/dp/B00428M7HK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1337115016&sr=8-4
