    DIY diptube initial cleaning/sanitization questions

    I'm piecing together a DIY diptube for my weldless valve that I'm installing into my kettle. It consists of three parts; the tube (1/2" copper, flared at the end), a flare nut (brass), and an adapter for the nut to thread onto, to 1/2" NPT threads to go into the backside of my valve...

    Irish Stout Irish Car Bomb Stout

    Figured I'd update you all. I have downed two bottles of this magical stuff. I didn't get the taste I was going for, so I was kind of disappointed by my first bottle. There wasn't any vanilla detectable, and the whiskey was so faint, the only way you'd know it was there is if you knew...

    Irish Stout Irish Car Bomb Stout

    Bottled on Sunday. I tasted the beer, and passed some around to friends who were helping me. It tastes incredible. When tasting, you get the Guinness up front, then a hint of Jameson, and then a vanilla aftertaste. It wasn't quite what I was looking for, but it's very good anyway. I'll let...

    Will adding alcohol throw FG readings off?

    Thanks. This is what I'm looking for.

    Will adding alcohol throw FG readings off?

    I searched, but most of the results I uncovered were for adding fruits, or honey into secondary, and the resulting change in S.G. I'm brewing a stout, and added vanilla & Jameson into the mixture when racking to secondary. I don't have my notebook with me, but I know my S.G. at the transfer...

    The [Horribly Unpopular] Soccer Thread

    Liverpool fan for years. I loved watching yesterday. After Suarez's assist on the first goal, I jumped up and punched the ceiling by accident (curse being 6'4")... I watched 5 games this weekend since SWMBO was out of town. By far, The two games on FSC yesterday (Liv'pool and ManUre &...

    Well, I'll continue my threadjack. Racked to secondary Friday, and added the Jameson & vanilla mixture (smells amazing combined). I took gravity measurements prior to adding the mixture, but now when I bottle in a week or two, how will I be able to calculate my final ABV? Would the added...

    FYI, there's already a 10 page thread on this elsewhere in the forums. I just was bumping this one in hope that the OP had finished it. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f37/irish-car-bomb-stout-133375/

    ^ I'm a total rookie, but it's my understanding that adding Bailey's will curdle the mixture. That's why the Jameson/vanilla mixture is added, to simulate the flavours of the Bailey's, without actually adding it. $0.02

    Sure thing. I'm racking to secondary tonight (if my readings are good). I'm thinking the first weekend in April I'll crack one open, so stay tuned.

    Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but I just wanted to say that I've got this going at the moment (kind of). I took the easy route, and picked up a Guinness draft clone recipe from Austin Homebrew, it's currently bubbling away in primary. I have a bottle containing 2 cups of Jameson and 2...

    Arsenal v. Barcelona, GET EXCITED!

    I missed this thread <3. I'm a Liverpool fan, but considering our misfortunes as of late, I've been cheering Arsenal on. I desperately hope that they can win the title this year, to keep us level on league titles with ManUre. All that being said, the game yesterday, the last 20 minutes in...

    Delirium Tremens extract

    Austin Homebrew has an extract recipe clone kit on their website. It's kind of expensive, but I may try it out at some point.
