I've got a beautiful "Belgium Stout" from beercraftr's recipe of a 1 gallon batch. Of course, I wish I brewed more, but I'd never know that if I had to brew 5 gallons of it because I'd not have brewed that much at a time to know! It's a big beer, around 9% and smooth as hell.

I recently enjoyed a nice mild dry pipe of trout stream while, well, fly fishing for trout! (a lake and just stocked 'bows, but still). It had been a couple of years, I have not indulged since my mother's recent diagnosis of lung cancer, it seemed crass (she a lifelong cigarette smoker and in...

Extract. I did two lbs of wheat and a whole lb of lactose that i know will not finish out... I had a strong boil. Still too high. Did I just brew a RIS?

Okay so I brewed this one up a month ago. I made some mistakes in my calculations and ended up with a much bigger original gravity than I was looking for. I ended up with 1.088. To make matters worse at the homebrew shop I was talked into a danstar star English ale yeast. Now I'm sitting at...

This was my first brew session in about a year. New baby, etc. I followed the recipe fairly closely, using mostly what I had on hand. They only sell lactose in 1lb increments and I noticed a few posts on this thread stating to toss in a lb if you want it more "milk stouty", and I didn't want...

Great analogy!

Great analogy!

I finally made some space in my kegerator for this. Going to transfer to the keg tonight!

Threads like this make my blood boil (maybe I will need a permit to boil my blood as well?!). Not anyone's fault here or any of the posts, just the spirit of it all.

That stuff is a beast. I gotta try it on my next Saison.

Gonna stick with the recipe? Nibs/booze? Just curious... My Brother, Sister-in-Law and Sister are coming out this weekend. This beer will be the star of the show, they are all stout lovers. This will blow their minds!

Ill be interested to see this APA version turns out.

This. I thought I was on the wrong, *ahem* forum...

Sounds like an infection. I have used 04 for nearly every style of english or american ale. My LHBS was out of 05 when I went on a brewing tear earlier this year so I used it a lot. I personally think that the "English Ester/malty profile" that everyone talks about is overstated. I find this...

We have the same view on this matter, exactly. , except I don't secondary, I just primary longer.

I dont think your mishap would do much to give you a high FG. Give it a light shake and wait a bot longer before taking another gravity reading.

I am considering joining the dukes of ale club in abq. I am in rio rancho and tried to start a club here but couldn't seem to get a core group with enough interest to brew once a month so i dropped it. I think brew pastor is inactive here.. too bad as corrales is right next door to me. We have a...

You might end up ok if you mashed on the lower side and your beer dries out a bit more than expected. A smooth eight percenter will also finish quicker than a ten percenter, so i bet that you will be enjoying that ris THIS cold season instead of the NEXT one!

I think you are dead on. A bit more at flame out and you will be.perfect with your efficiency. Nice to see some balanced ipa's. Let us know how this turns out.

Yeasties are billions and billions.. Clear or not.
