I heart this thread. I'm planning on leaving an ale with 3oz centennials in the carboy for 2.5 weeks. Hopefully that's not too long

yeah Ive done it both ways before. Adding to primary after fermentation is done. I'm trying to figure out what gives the best hop aroma or of there is even a difference

For those of you without a conical. Do you transfer into secondary over hops or do you just add them to your primary vessel after most of fermentation is done?

Anyone take milk thistle? Spose to help the liver. I drink more than my fair share of beer and I'd like to do everything possible to be able to continue drinking more than my fair share for a long long time.

I figured it was probably allowed- but what with the whole "blending beers" argument going lately I figured I'd see what people generally thought about it.

What's the general consensus on entering one beer in multiple categories in a comp? I got a beer that could probably fall into two different categories and I'm thinking I'll just enter it in both. Never done it before - do people frown on that or is it cool? Thanks

My homebrew doesn't have yeast deposits. But I keg and drink and bottle from the keg

Do a dunkelweizen with banana extract!

I think thats the greatest thing about being a homebrewer. Being able to taste a beer as it ages. Its crazy how big a difference a few months will make

Really? A few hours? I wouldn't have thought that soon.

In general, how long until the effects of oxidation start to be perceptable?

I just run really hot water through the lines every time a keg kicks. No cleaner or anything.

a large erlenmeyer flask and an 02 stone and regulator. You should hopefully have enough left over for one more corny

Besides hopsdirect - which is awesome. I just need a good place to find simcoe hops in lbs of pellets. Is there any other sites like hopsdirect that you guys know of? Thanks
