Thanks! Going to lessen the coriander like you suggested. Getting this one brewed this weekend, should give me some time to brew a backup batch just in case this one goes terrible wrong..

Hey all! I'm getting set to put together a Witbier for an upcoming local brew competition. Best beer entered is permitted to brew a 7bbl batch at a local brewery which is then sold across the province, so needless to say, I want to get this right! Style is limited to BJCP 24A. Here's what I...

Exactly what I'm looking for, a connection between volumes of CO2 and priming sugar amounts. Thank you!

Hey guys! So I've been brewing and bottling for a few years now and completed quite a few brews and looking for ways to up my consistency. Typically for bottling, I usually dissolve about 115-120 grams of dextrose in the same amount of boiling water, chill, dump into the bottling bucket and...

+ 5 gallons of BM Centennial Blonde + 5 gallons of Blue Moon clone =12866

5 gal of all grain Blue Moon clone, smells amazing! Been in there for 1 week today. Will probably transfer to secondary on Saturday or Sunday, all fermentation appears to be completed

Opposed to the arguments above, I have that same capper and it's great. I have used it to bottle over 30 dozen beers. Every beer I have bottled has been a twist off and *knock on wood* I haven't had any problems yet. When you first cap them, they may not seal right away but give them a quick...

Bottled my BM Centennial Blonde, and brewed my second all grain BIAB batch, an attempt at a Blue Moon clone!

Bottled this last night, left in primary for 7 days at 68F, then secondary for 5 Days at 68-70F. It tasted amazing going into the bottles, can't wait for 2 weeks, then it's drinking time!!

I brewed this last night, my first all grain batch. Turned out to be a pretty good brew day, only had 1 mishap. I measured the pre boil gravity (1.035) with a pre boil volume of 7.4 Gal. Boiled for 60 mins, added hops, and had 6.3 Gal in the fermenter. I was about to measure the OG when I heard...

Picked up a 9gal pot, propane burner, and some yeast, hops and grain. Going to brew my first BIAB all grain batch tomorrow, BM Centennial Blonde. Can't wait!

Checked out local classified ads, managed to find a 7 gal primary, 6 gal glass carboy, 10 ft of tubing, siphoning cane, bottle caps, and a small thermometer. All for $30!! On a not so good note, I finally accepted my defeat with a previous batch.. over carbonated, really really bad tasting...

Hey there, I've used US-05 for most of my brews recently but the highest OG to FG I've completed was OG: 1.061 to FG: 1.014 with no problems what so ever. I've seen some other big beer recipes use US-05 along with a Wyeast and some yeast nutrients to give the yeast the extra kick it needs to...

Drinking it! Finally finished up my exams for this semester, off to drinking my beer tonight and enjoying the next 5 months of freedom

Tasted 4 of my beers side by side today with my family. The largest bottle is the St. Patrick's day seasonal from a local brewery I've been wanting to try. The two favorites were the second and third from the left. (Lawnmowing beer and a lightly hopped Amber ale).
