Justa quick update. I am not done with the 7 weeks conditioning, but took a sneak peek reading today OG 1.084 (I felt low) current (hopefully final) 1.005 I did not expect the yeast to chew that far down. Maybe the fact that there were three days were it got to leave the fridge gave...

So I must have started with more than I thought. I ended up with 7 gallons after a good two hours. I added hops based on a 90 minute boil, but I don't think that will throw things off too badly. With the higher volume I have a bit of an OG pickle: 1.084 That's gonna be a nice beer, but it...

Care to provide a link? Id like to read that. Scratch that I found it. PS: So I fly sparged 8.5 gallons out of that. Im boiling in two pots to maximize evaporation. I still don't see how im going to manage 30% or so in volume in a 90 minute boil. The recipe calls for 8.25-> 5.5 So...

Hi guys. So I am mashing the "old world" recipe right now and I am hitting some bumps: Here is where I am: The mash is going in a 40quart stainless pot. I lead with an acid rest, then did protein rest and just decocted 9 quarts back in for the 151 step. That led my mashtemp over...

Capture Lawrence has three yeasts they use. i know them very well because they give me their yeast:-) Been a long time since I bought yeast or made a starter. Literally gallons of gorgwously bubbling yeast:-) Anyways they use: A koelsch strain A belgian ale An american ale The...

you

Sold thank you

Yes! the adjustable pressure relief valve is the ultimate way to ferment in the corney too. (natural carbonation...) I haven't gotten around to putting that gimmick togetehr and I always end up manually releasing and in the case of chaining having the last one open to atmosphere. (which foams a...

yeah sure. a usps flatrate box is about ten bucks as far as i remember. Brass is heavy so suspect thats a good way to do this. $25 shipped cheapest way, $30 shipped usps priority sound right?

I do this for transferring from primary to secondary, for natural carbing without sugar, and for draining sanke kegs of beer :p I thought someone would like to see it in action. I saw someone ask if that would work. It does. I am sure others have been doing this for a long time too.

Hi. The regulator is a Tap-Rite, came with my summit kegerator. The bulkhead assembly is as per usual. That was on my old keggle. I did buy the 3/8 to 1/4 adaptor that would allow you to use that bulkhead valve on your gas side if you were somehow inclined. Other stuff is just various...

I cannot for the life of me find one of those soda thingies below $90 new. you interested in letting that and whatever I need to connect it go?

Yeah you are spot on. Radler actually means bicyclist for that very reason. We consider it a post exercise refresher :p

Interesting that the Berliner Weisse was disuputed as most refreshing. germans even ghetto that refreshing action by taking hefeweizen and making radler et al. I am from cologne and i vote Berliner Weisse as the most refreshing beer by a looong shot. I am guessing that some of those voting...

Hey everyone I am hoping you can riddle me this. My wife loves Kwak after having had it twice recently. The problem is that I am 100% sure that she had two different beers. One of the bars served us something different or the difference between bottle and fresh keg is far far more than I have...
