Anyone try mixing the Cocoa/Vanilla Beans/Cayenne in a Vodka tincture before adding to secondary?

Awesome, stuff..going to have to brew this my self!!

What are you using for water CRJpilot?

I see you repitched from Slurry, I want to start doing the same. I was wondering if you could explain your process?

Can you stand a spoon up in it? i have heard that twice now!

I'll bring you some Home Brew when I bring over the cash! Glad you got a hold of me, and if you need more room in the future I would happily go with you and we could take my truck.

I think the problem is you need to set up a account first with them, that is why you can't just show up and buy stuff from them. I just need to open my own Brew Shop in Red Deer that should solve the problem of shopping there.

Did you just show up there and buy some, maybe that's my problem I called first?

No I called them last year and they said they wouldn't sell me malt because I was a home brewer, and that I needed to buy the bags of malt from my local brew shop. Since then I have ordered sacks of Gambrinus from HopDawgs.ca

I usually just break my water in to 2 half's one for the Mash, and the other half for the sparge. Most of my mashes are around 154F for 60 mins, and then Ill run that off and then add my sparge water around 169-170F for 15 mins then run that off in to my kettle. I am getting around 70%...

I really, really want to brew this. I love Malt forward APA's, and I have some Denny's favourite 50 just about ready to be washed from my Falconer's Flight IPA! :)

We are headed down to Montana in April, I was just wondering what you guys think is the best home brew shop in the Great Falls, Missoula Area?

AG Brewer here in Red Deer, Alberta. I am 1 of 2 known home brewers in a city of 90000, sad. 2 Wine Brewing shops in RD, so I have to source my stuff online or go to Edmonton, or Calgary.

I drink the yeast all the time, no problems to report! Tasty!
