Hey Southside, Is this to be brewed with the same hop schedule as the AG version? And for the Vienna, Cara, honey, and dextrine, are they just steeped as specialty grains for 30 min, then a 60 min boil with late addition 10 lbs of lme and honey at flameout? Sorry for all of the noob...

Danger, I'm so sorry for being super annoying, but I have another question/request. So I looked at the extract bill, and without any specialty grains, I felt like i was really missing on your recipe. My thoughts were, Eff it, if I'm going to make a Drunken Lullaby, I'm going to do it as...

This is exactly what I did and it was amazing. Just an FYI ! I'm sure all methods work!

Thanks! I'll be sure to let you know how it turns out!

Is it possible to make this as an extract batch? If so, what adjustments need to be made? Any help would be appreciated, I really want to try and brew this on Saturday!

I believe barrels used for aging are either charred, or affected in some other way. I think some barrels used for beer have already been used to age wine/whiskey.

I think im going to leave it in. That way i dont lose ANY yeast

Awesome, just the response i was looking for.

OK, so following people's suggestions on this forum, I believe I successfully harvested some yeast from 6 bottles of Oberon. I stepped it up a couple times, eventually to a 1L starter of 1.040 wort, which the yeast ripped through. I then decanted the wort and poured the slurry (completely)...

Hey guys, sorry to revive this, but what happens if while I'm cold crashing, some of the yeast freeze? My thoughts are that while my freezer was cooling to 35 degrees (johnson controlled freezer), it may have dipped below to cool, and froze some yeast. Should still be viable right (Considering...

Didnt specify but this is for extract brewing. So wouldnt i be steeping for color and such but not looking for fermentables from the grain?

For steeping grains, is it ok to use a full 5.25 gallons of water? Or should i stick to a smaller volume, adding the rest for the sparge/ boil. Id heard to steep at around 1.5 gallons.

Im having a tough time measuring how many cells of yeast i have in my harvested from a bells bottle yeast. I dont know when the bells batch was bottled. So i dont think the mr maltys calcs are relevant. Can i go off of if it brings a starter wort of xx down to a fg of xx?

You could always harvest the yeast from rogue bottles :)
