There are a lot of Sam Adams beers i like. Although, the worst would have to be Merry Maker Gingerbread Stout. Top 3 worst beer I have ever had.

I used to really like Sam Adams, but Sam Adams is now as close as a craft brewery can get to a Miller or Coors. Every year craft beer conventions have to redefine the number of barrels produced a year to allow Sam Adams to even be considered a craft brewery. Some of their beer is pretty good...

One gallon fermentors aren't expensive (maybe 6 or 7 dollars) if you want the proper glass vessel. I would recommend it because they are glass, sturdy, and can be easily cleaned and sanitized.

I never heard of that company before. It's very interesting

Congrats!

It's Tripel :cross:

You're lucky you got a kegging system! Very nice. I have to get one eventually. Welcome!

Ahhh! I was going to say Brew Day...I guess I was wrong haha :D

That is a very interesting recipe. I've never heard of the secondary aeration, hope someone can help!

From what it looks like your beer is finished. You have a ABV of 7.61% and an attenuation of 73%. White Labs lists WLP005 British Ale Yeast as having an attenuation of 67-74%, making your attenuation very good.

What was the OG?

So I decided to make my first extract recipe. This recipe is based off the American Rye recipe from NB and I tried to German it up a little bit: 5 gallon recipe (Partial boil - 2.5 gallons water) 6 lbs Rye malt syrup 1 oz. German Tettnang hop pellets (60 min.) 1 oz. German Hallertau hop...
