Thanks! I'll check and see what the LHBS has on hand.

Good ol glass.

Well, I added amylase enzyme to 2 different growlers and they've dropped it 2 points in the past 3 weeks. I didn't add any fresh yeast, but I added some ec-1118 to primary right before racking, so I assume there should still be some available? I'm back to considering beano to dry out 1 growler...

Just read through that thread and it's quite useful! Seems like the last page says that the enzymes will keep working indefinitely though? So, if I mixed the growler with AA in the big batch, it would keep working on it? Why then are there different amounts recommended based on batch size?

That's what I've read about both. I'm just afraid that if I did the AA to the whole batch, it would go too far. Perhaps I could do 1 growler of each as a test and see what happens. If the AA only takes the sample down to somewhere close to 1.040, I could just add that to the whole batch then.

I brewed a bourbon county stout recipe 4 weeks ago and had some problems with mashing that aren't entirely relevant here. Basically, I was aiming for 155 and settled at 157 after the extremely long mash in process. There was a lot of grain and it took us a long time! So realistically, the first...

As a follow up to this thread, here's a little follow-up with the recipe I actually made. 13 lbs pale 2 row 12 oz crystal 20 8 oz crystal 40 2 oz chinook 60 min 1 oz centennial 15 min 1.5 oz Cascade 5 min 0.5 oz Citra 5 min 1.5 oz Cascade flameout 1.5 oz Chinook dry hop 7 days 1 oz...

Thanks for the ideas.. I think I'm going to go with the lakefront IPA recipe and see how it goes. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/lakefront-ipa-clone-ish-211810/ Should I increase the flameout or late additions?

I'm cleaning out my freezer and trying to come up with an all-grain APA/IPA recipe to get rid of these older hops. They've been vacuum sealed and stored in the freezer since I bought them in bulk 2 years ago.. I just upgraded to electric brewing rigs with cooler MLT and need to get a few...

Does that wobble around when you're cranking? Do the legs provide enough stability that it doesn't? Do you use something to keep the grain channeled into the hole in the bucket?
