wow..i know they feel threatened by microbreweries but now they are pickin on homebrewers too! must be because you make good beer.

August 27-28 at canal place in Cumberland Md. Www.mtnmdbeerandwinefestival.com for brewery info, directions, and prices.

Not sure what efficiency they are going for..it doesnt say. The only thing it gives is sg and og..but higher doesnt sound bad imo...could be due to higher mash temp? Not sure. Happy brewing tho and lemme know the turnout.

You shouldnt need need to...theyre not bad...im not a big hophead..i like a little sweetness to my beer but if you are worried about it its just a recipe. You can always tweak it. Like i posted before i might just try using one oz of each n see how that turns out. I like to experimen. That being...

Oh and lemme know how yours turns out if u do decide to brew it.

Not bad...take the gypsum out tho..ill have to edit the recipe when i geta chance...i just cracked a few from my last one on friday did 123 method and carbed with cane...used 2 oz for bittering and 1 for flavor...its good but not as balanced so next time i might try using 1 n 1 see how tht turns out

Thank ya sir

ive brewed a brown ale all grain kit a few times that includes gypsum. although recently i was reading up on the brown ale style and came across a website that stated sulfates were not desirable in browns so to stay away from the use of gypsum. it does not however say why or what affect it has...

will probably experiment with some honey malt and possibly MO or Golden Promise as base next time around for a bit more sweetness. but, as is its a decent beer. pops is a bmc drinker and he said he was surprised at how good it was.

once primary fermentation is over if you are transferring to secondary or if not a couple days before before bottling. and if you are transferring to a secondary you could put the secondary fermentor in the fridge for a couple days as well before bottling to drop some more particles from suspension.

ive got ingredients for a pumpkin ale. figured if i brew this weekend should age nicely for thanksgiving dinner. basing it off the samhain pumpkin ale recipe here on hbt.

i actually showed my buddy (a non-homebrewer) how the bottling and ag process goes while watching some good ol fashion football in the meantime:tank:. bottled my 3rd ag which was a honey nut brown ale and brewed a 5 gal batch of biermunchers cream of three crops recipe, although i used a half oz...

i do see what your saying..havnt brewed yet doing that tomorrow. i planned on combining the entire wort in my fermentor (only thing i have big enough to hold it all) before boiling so that the grav will be the same for both pots..gonna try to get the same amounts in both pots now that you said...

thanks all for replies..greatly appreciated..gotta kitchen scale so might as well do it right and divide em up real even like
