I just came across this thread and I'm not going to sift through 71 pages, :P, but has anyone actually read that on this is only good for liquids up to 1.7 specific gravity? "Tanks are manufactured from medium-density polyethylene with U.V. inhibitors and designed for containment of liquids of...

Tocabaga is Tim Ogden's recipe. He's one of the brewers at CCB. It's dry hopped only with Citra, btw. Also, they switched their yeast from 1275 to London ESB 1968, and they no longer filter it because it flocks nicely (002 is the same thing as 1968). Their saison yeast is 3711 and they actually...

You don't have to make a starter if the yeast is a slurry that's been recently washed. Obviously do a starter if it's fresh from a pack, and if you're not going to wash it, it would be a good idea. But I've used slurries up to 6 months old that I simply washed and pitched and they've been...

I've made it 4 times at 5 gallons, and one barrel batch, so.... 2972 + 52 = 3024 gallons

So is the argument unfiltered vs filtered? I'm not one to care very much about clarity, but there is something to say about a beautifully clear, clean beer. If it's cloudy I'll still drink the **** out of it. The truth is, I'd rather centrifuge over filtering any day. Plate filters introduce...

I'm sure they used more hops at 60 minutes than that. In addition, it wouldn't be a bad idea to throw some at FWH to give the beer a wonderful hop flavor to round out that bitterness. I find that when FWHd enough, high IBUs tend to be hidden amongst the canopy of hop flavor. Columbus is likely...

Just gotta chime in and say the last 2 posts were amazing. On top of that, I'm getting a 7 cuft freezer this week for my birthday. Gunna use it for fermentation as I have a 19.7 cuft already built out as a keezer.

Why do you have rice hulls at all?

Are you afraid that you have too much roast and caramel? Because some of the best RIS that I know of have way more specialty grains than you do. In other words, you should be fine.

Can you not get Left Hand there? Very good base, traditional Milk Stout.

How did this come out?

Ah. I'd probably do something like this: 7 lbs Pilsen DME 1 lb Caramel 40 1 lb Carapils 1 lb Dextrose (Corn Sugar) 0.5 oz Citra @ 60

You need it as a private message (pm)? The ingredients are as listed. It's Pilsner, Munich 20, Carapils, and Corn Sugar. Citra and EKG @FWH, and Figs in the secondary.
