    Splitting Batches

    I brew 5 gal extract batches and have wanted to divide the batch to do some expirementing. But the smallest fermenters I’ve only found are 3 gal. But I wonder about the head space for air since il only have 2.5 in there. Granted the yeast gas should displace any air but, still, I did this with...

    Saison & Bel Tripel - Keg or Bottle?

    I'm wanting to make one of these styles next. But I've been reading that most people bottle these, saying they can't get the beer carbonated enough in kegs. Any thoughts or experiences kegging these? Does it need to age in the keg or is secondary aging sufficient? If it makes a difference, I'm a...

    Cognac Brown Ale?

    A couple years ago I made a brown ale (extract) and, after fermentation, I added some white oak chips that had soaked in a spiced rum. Let's just say the keg didn't last long! But I'm thinking of doing this with Cognac this time. Or maybe with a Pilsner? Thought / opinions?

    Help with wood brew stand (1 or 2 tier, 2 or 3 burner)

    kh54s10 - what is your stand built out of? It almost looks plastic but surely it isn't. Jill - excellent ideas on converting a Lowes shelving unit. I'll be looking today. But are you using a pump to get your hot water in your cooler?

    Cinnamon Apple Wheat?

    http://www.austinhomebrew.com/AHS-Belgian-Wheat-16E--EXTRACT_p_2153.html I kegged this in the spring and just started another batch for Christmas gifts. In the secondary I used 3 cinnamon sticks. But instead of apples, I used the zest off 4 large oranges in the boil. Let's just say the friends...

    Peach Beer

    I'm assuming your using fresh peaches, minus the pits & skins? What about frozen if good fresh ones aren't available?

    Contest / Competitions

    Thanks you both ! Typically on any extract recipe I brew anymore, I tweak something in it. Be it type and/or amount of hops, malt, etc.. I am seeing you have to plan ahead.

    Mango Habanero Beer?

    Follow up: I made this using 7lb of frozen mango & 3 habaneros. Little bit too much pepper and mango fainter than I wanted. But it makes an outstanding marinade for pulled pork !

    Contest / Competitions

    I've been brewing almost 4 yrs now and am interested in seeing how my beers compare to others. Any thought / suggestions / site ms on how to get started? Can it be extract instead of all grain ? ( working on getting there by 17!). Can it be someone else's recipe that I've tweaked / modified? Or...

    Mango Habanero Beer?

    Last weekend, at a local winery, I tried this combination in a cider and WOW! Not too sweet, just right amount of mango, and on the back end you got just enough of the pepper to enjoy it. Talking to the chief wine / cider maker, he told me he used 3 habanero' sore 5 gal, putting them at the end...
