+1 brings it to 504... My dog ate it! (He's fine)

and all I gotta do is hit "reply"

I had a batch of Dunkelweizen (extract) I brewed about five weeks ago. Finally got around to yanking it out and bottling and my FG was 1.020. Now this was the first time this had happened to me out of four extract brews but I distinctly remember being tired and rushed when I oxygenated the...

There are gobs of threads concerning this. Some do, some don't. There is no wrong or right :) Personally, I like to let it sit on primary for four weeks. If I'm adding an addition, then I'll rack to secondary. Otherwise I bottle it as long as my hydrometer concurs with my decision.

That's alot of sex. (Subscribed)

There are cases where it can take three days. Depends on the temperatures, the yeast itself, the wort, and so much more. That being said, usually within 24-48 hours. But don't even *think* of being concerned until after 72 hours. If you've done a starter, then 4 hours isn't uncommon.

I thought I went overboard when I wrote IPA on my bottle cap! Just kidding :) I don't always have six straight hours to work on creating my next batch of beer. Sometimes it's fun just to sit around and dream up silly brewery names with my wife. How the hell do you think we came up with a...

NJ will lock your ass up for the next 15 years because you kept a few bucks from some politicians pocket. We're just now getting to the point where we don't need the yearly license thing to brew in our own homes (you HAVE had one of these right :D ) However, after having a few brews at my LHBS...

Aaarghhh.. too many good choices... Trying to narrow it down from JSP's MaltMill, the MonsterMill 2 (or slobber, 3!) and now that Rebel Mill looks damn nice too. What were some of your deciding factors to pick one over the other? Not dogging the Barley Crusher or it's clone but I'd rather...

All I can say is Congrats and welcome to the obsession!

I took a (very quick) look at the thread pointed out and it looked like you had to build the water profile back into something you want to use, adding the minerals and stuff that you need. I figured it's a heck of a lot easier to just go buy some mineral water or run it thru a charcoal filter...

I love that you revived a three year old thread to update us on the beer. Gotta say, the beer looks great!

Charcoal filters work great for getting rid of all that excess chlorine. You should be able to find them pretty cheaply. You're trying to over complicate things even thinking about RO at this stage of the game. :)

Has anyone addressed the water temperatures? High temp is the single largest culprit for releasing tannins. What are your temps looking like? Water is the single most important ingredient in beer. It is without a doubt that largest part of your beer. It's usually not too much of an issue...

I clean with Oxyclean and sanitize with Starsan, no off flavors. I toss my immersion chiller in for the last 15 minutes of the boil.

+5 APA +5 Winter Warmer +5 Dunkelweizen total: 41888

You've mentioned that these are brand new. I'm assuming brand new to you and that they were corny kegs? If that's the case did you replace the O-rings? That's a potential source of infection from old left over soda. Just about to start the kegging process myself so I'm interested in all...

Honestly there's never been a time I haven't brewed without having a few or six while the entire process is going. I've also found having a checklist nearby is a huge help. Otherwise i forget things, like hops...

I find it hard to believe that OP didn't notice the extra value of his gift card. Next someone will try to convince me that they don't ever look at the "Total" before hitting the "Are you sure and Pay Now" button. He didn't even attempt to work things out with AHB after he got "caught". I...

I swear I've never seen so many pic whores on a forum :D
