i cant find any flaked barley right now. should i use carapils?
EdWort,
You killed this one. I brewed 10 gallons the other day day, and it's going fast. For me, it has a great balance between taste and alcohol content. This will definitely be one of my staples from now on. Thanks - Dwain
Wow! You weren't joking. I brewed this yesterday and it's fermenting like crazy. This is the first time I've used a blowoff tube and boy am I glad I am because I'd have krausen all over my floor by now.This ferments vigorously, so use a blow off or be prepared to wipe up some beer.
Congratulations in providing me with my first blowoff.
Fortunately, I was fermenting in a SOFC which contained it. It was a nice little surprise to go to the garage and see beer leaking out of the SOFC as I was leaving for work, though. Interestingly enough I was using a blowoff tube which got clogged enough to let her blow. I rinsed it out and put it back in place this morning so we'll see if she blows again today.
Sure. Get about 9 lbs. of Extra Pale LME and steep the rest of the grains at 155 degrees for about 15 minutes in about 2 gallons of water. Top off to 7 gallons with RO water and add the LME and bring to a boil. Add the Maltro Dextrin in the last 15 minutes of the boil. Hop additions stay the same.
I just made this extract version yesterday. The 9# of LME seems like a lot. The cans come as 3.3# and I got 3 of them so that was 9.9#. My OG came out to 1.080!!!! The store did not have Nottingham so I made a starter from some washed Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale that I saved from my last Irish Red. Better bottle and blowoff tube. I started getting a bubble every 6 seconds after just 3 hours in the fermenter. This morning @ 12 hours it was bubbling steady with about 2 inches of krausen in the bottle.

So Ed.. I fired up your porter recipe... Loved the aroma when i was Brewing and loved the sample i tasted before fermentation. Ended up with an OG of .1080 and this is what it looked like the next day...Not sure a blow off tube could of handled this haha. Luckily i did not snap the lid on tight! Cant wait to taste this..
I'm thinking about starting out around 60 next time and slowly ramping the temp up to avoid the mess next brew.
All I want to know is where the phuck is Sir ED WORT??? Any of you have a clue?
Mine ended up with a very light black-licorice flavor to it. Anyone else get that or is it just me?
That's the extract twang. All Grain does not have any licorice notes to it. Just Coffee, chocolate, & malt.
although it's pretty boozy. .
