Both are the Danstar Windsor Ale Dry Yeast mixed with a little warm water and pitched in (all sanitized), each had it's own separate pack. They both started fermenting at the same time a few hours later, and both pretty much end at about the same time too, I would say about 5 day's...

I have been brewing for a while and have never come across this, I brewed a 10gal bach of an ESB'ish beer, I split it into 2, 5 gal carboys both using the same style yeast. They both started and ended fermentation after about 5 days ish, nohing out of the ordinary and now on the 3rd week one...

If my third try doesn't turn out, then I probably will! Screw the little children chewing on my brew! RDWTAS (relax don't worry take a shot!) :)

Don't worry I also brewed with 1 hand! :tank:

Hey Everyone, I'm bring this thread back because 1, This Stout turned out to be the best Stout I have ever tried/made, and 2 I have not been able to duplicate. Funny that my first all grain turned out to be the best so far! I did a half arsed fly sparge that only lasted maybe 1/2 hour, and I...

Hey everyone, I have not tried this beer before, and was thinking of adding a pint of raw honey to the wort around 110 deg. during cool down. My question is should I, or just leave it alone? I want to have a honey beer of sorts, but would this be a good one to add to? Also what kind of beer...

That's good to know, now if I have an off flavor I will know why! Well I have 4 more carboys, better geta practicing, Thanks for your help!

Yeah your right, I figured if I'm going to add water to bring it up to 5 gals, why not run it through the grain one more time. Normally in the past I have never had to add water, but I figured what the hell I can chalk it up to my first try. This is one of my favorite recipes that always turns...

Very nice, I was thinking the same way, are you, or can you stain the oak? If you can what kind?

I have pictures!

I had a lot going on that day, First I didn't have the right hose connection to hook up to my water filter (sprayed water through out my whole garage), then I had to setup my new 15 gal kettle with a valve (didn't know the water levels had to pre-measure), plus many more little things that added...

I made my first all grain batch of a tweaked Obsidan Stout clone, everything went great til the end. I boiled off to much and was left with 4 gallons, so I decided to run what I had left of my sparge water through my mash to bring it up to 5 gallons. Well the problem was the temp was still over...

Thanks! I live on the south east side of Pville, Somerset is only 10 minutes away. We really enjoy all the local wines of the area. I really enjoy Placerville, great beers and great wines!

Hey everyone, I have been a member for a long time, just haven't had/needed a chance to post. But now I have my new all grain system I made, I was torn between the single level pump system and the three tier gravity system. Well gravity won out, because I felt it was easier to clean, and...
