Well been bottled for 3 mths. I'm suspecting the boil off, trub, water volume issue. Love a full boil :) the beer ends up sooo much clearer and cleaner tasting, but I think that's where my recipe conversion water/AG issue came in. Damn tasty beer but next time I think a lil less primer will put...

Super head

So I have a coffee malt stout that came out pretty tasty but now that I'm in the drinking stage of the brew (finally, took 5 mnths to even out) it has an enormous head that no matter how cold / careful you pour it, it takes 30 min to pour a 22 oz beer. Primed 5 gallons with the pre-perscibed...

Sooooo, Tecate on a hot summer day. Maybe lime if available. Hard to beat for a river/fishin beer :)

Also they have there anniversary series on sale (this week is the porter), changes weekly:) not gona lie I wait for it every week :))

Def careful with cinnamon. I would pasteurize the spice before addition, (above 165 for like 45 ish minutes) exact times exist but its what I use with spiced wines and not had a problem. Use an ice bath as normal and add when you would otherwise secondary..... I'm still in the Revvy primary camp...

Brewed a Chimay clone in Dec. and went to a secondary at the end of Jan. I am wondering if I ought to hit it with an amount of yeast at bottling? Would the existing yeast be too stressed to create co2 without any nasty flavors? Or is more a question of temp?

Probably do a primary only. As far as the preblend brew I would at least bottle a bottle or 2 outta the bigger primary's but blend and bottle age. Or perhaps this is an excuse to buy/create my big secondary ferm tank :)

I recently had the fortune of being able to go to 10 gallon full boil batches :) here's my hairbrained idea. Fermentation vessels currently exist of 2, 5 gallon carboys and 1 gallon jugs. As I've seen in commercial brews (Belgian) they tend blend to create greatness. So... What about 2, 4 gallon...
