    Fuuuuuu.....

    The wort was hot, this along with the fact that the bottom of the caroby was chipped. I was also a few homebrews deep (full corny - 8.5%) I blame the brew. :mad:

    Recipe thrown together on brew day!

    Update - Just transfered to secondary and dry hopped with an oz of Amarillo. Gravity was at 1.010 so that equates to an ABV of ~ 8.11, certainly got what I asked for there! It tasted wonderful as well! Very excited to taste the finished product.

    Infected wheat beer saved by honey!

    At least 4 months ago I brewed an extract wheat beer. After transferring to its secondary a thin film with white blotches covered the brew accompanied with a sour, bitter taste and smell. I bottled anyways hoping for the best but it never turned. I have 12 left which I NEVER though about...

    Keep Cold Break in?

    What exactly is cold break? Hops and such left over after boiling? I send my wort through a strainer into my primary but it still always looks murky. I dont have much patience so I usualy have cloudy beer. Will letting the beer sit for a while clear this up? Adam78k - How is your left hand...

    Recipe thrown together on brew day!

    Thanks man, only came out to 49 IBUs on Beersmith and I filtered out all the hops when transfering into the primary. I hope the spiciness pulls through like you mentioned!

    Recipe thrown together on brew day!

    I really wanted to brew a BIG all-grain pale ale and to incorporate some vienna into the mash. My LHBS was out, so on brew day I decided to throw in a pound of Rye instead. I was also short on 2-row so I added 2 lbs. of light extract at boil. I have no idea if this is frowned upon/what would...

    Copper Bond Epoxy on Wort Chiller

    Alright, so maybe I was a little over ambitous here but I went ahead and sold some books a little early (who needs to study for exams anyways?) and bought my soldering equipment. I was clearly in over my head, But it doesn't leak. Uploaded with ImageShack.us

    Copper Bond Epoxy on Wort Chiller

    Just built my first immersion wort chiller yesterday. I could only get ahold of two ten foot sections and have no welding experience so I bonded them together with a coupler and some Copper Bond Epoxy by Super Glue. Any idea if this is going to hold up in the wort's temperature? All the...

    Crystal 60L as main ingredient.

    I could recycle this thing, but I'm kind of curious as to what I might stumble upon once it has sat for a while with the new yeast. I'm from Cary actualy so I'll send a message your way.

    Crystal 60L as main ingredient.

    Wikipediaed the Lambic style. I love the science behind brewing, sounds very interesting. I just ordered a lambic blend (Wyeast 3278) from Rebel Brewer along with the CORRECT malt for my next batch. Who would of thought a botched recipe would have ended up as a potential strawberry lambic?
