    The "I'd nevervdrink that if it were ALL that was available" thread

    Stag and Mickey Malt for sure. Also, as previous posters have stated, american light lagers.

    Priming problem

    Can't turn the caps. Bottles are all pop top. Fermentation schedule instructions (which I followed to a tee) is pitch at 72-78F, slowly cool to 50-55F and hold for 10 days, warm up to 60-70F for 2 days, lager at 40F for 3-4 weeks, and bottle condition (room temp for me at about 74F) for 4 weeks.

    Priming problem

    Brewed, fermented, and lagered a Shiner Bock clone all-grain kit per recipe kit instructions. Bottled and primed using Buckrider Bottle Shots and used one tab per 12 oz bottle per instructions and bottle conditioned for 4 weeks per the instructions. The beer tastes great, but it's flat. I'm...

    Fast Yeast

    Fermentation was at 67F plus or minus 1. NB recipe kit came with Windsor. I wanted dry yeast because of hot weather and exposure during shipping. OG was 1.051, exactly as shows on the instruction sheet.

    Fast Yeast

    Brewed a double batch of NB's Caribou Slobber a few days ago and the yeast was Lalbrew Windsor, which I knew from another post on the forum here was a really fast yeast. It was quite active for about 36 hours and flatlined after that (according to the Tilt). Shows as 4.33% ABV which is close to...

    Favorite/Worst Cheap Beer?

    I used to buy Milwaukee's Best in the summer and I put a shot of lemon concentrate in it. Wholly dependent on the lemon though. Worst I ever had was Stag. Had a friend bring some to a fishing outing. I couldn't manage a second swallow of it. Runners up for bad were overseas. Tusker (I think...

    Grainfather Glycol chiller hoses

    I used 5/16" ID. Should be silicone because nylon compatibility with propylene glycol is not good

    Fermentation questions

    Just brewed my first ever batch on 7/11 and it's in the fermenter now. It's a Shiner Bock clone recipe kit from AHB. The kit recommends pitching at something under 80, slowly reducing temp to 50-55F for 10 days, diacetyl rest at 60-70F for 2 days, then transfering to secondary to lager at 40F...

    GLYCOL CHILLER FOR WORT CHILLING

    Thanks all for replies. I'm just going to use a coil wort chiller using our well water. Well water here is about 70F, so it shouldn't be too long.
