secodary,

Wholy crap i racked the big ass texas brown ale into the secondary today ,and kept a little sip back for the taste test ,like i said wholycrap ,ill have to leave it in there for a couple of weeks to make it smooth out and leave it in the bottle for at least a month,it had anextremely strong alcohal taste,damn near like a weak vodka,,its gunna be gggggoooodddddd, .but any how ,i really should put the irish moss in at the end of the boil but it allready looks clearer ,so its all good it does have a large hop tase a big ass texas brown taste ,it surely will be a good winter beer for sitting by the camp fire ,cheers to ya buds ,bullsept.30th 2007,12:41pm

I'm thinking more like 3.

lol ,yea like one two three fall strong ,lol ,i think it was the four pounds of brown sugar i used . but ,after i put it in the secondary i added my hops now it seems to have started the second ferment ,is there such a thing ?

You didn't add hops until secondary? You know you need to boil them to extract the oils which lead to the bitterness, right?

Four pounds of brown sugar? deezamn, son. That's gonna be some cidery shiznit.

4 pounds of brown sugar? Have you been watching those Craigtube videos on youtube?

yep four pounds ,i did the same in a IPA it turned out very good with 8.7%.barely a noticable trace of brown sogar when you take a drink ,with no cidery affects ,and if it does have a cidery taste on this beer ,ill just leave it in the bottle for a few more weeks ,itll smooth right out ,your beer bud bull ,and the addition of the hops to the secondary is for taste and aroma ,did the bitter thing when i boiled it .your beer bud bull.
