Looks nice. I would maybe make her drink the same color as what's in the bottle? If its lemonade it may look like piss though, lol.

Dry hopping only imparts aroma, and while the young beer is in primary fermentation, it is pushing a lot of CO2 out of your fermenter...and your hop aroma will be pushed out along with it. You will probably get some aroma with your method, but in order to get the full effect you will need to...

Thanks! I can brew a decent beer, but my gf is much better w/ graphic design. I'll post the labels up when we (she) gets them done this weekend.

Here is a quick mock up of my new brewery name and Logo. My gf did it in like 5 mins. I haven't decided how I'm going to work it on to a label yet, but I like that it is simple, and clever if I may say so myself.

They're basically the same thing. Whirlfloc is just processed and pressed into tablet form so it's easy to use and measure. For 5.5 gallon batches, I use 1/2 tab of Whirlfloc with 15 minutes to go in the boil. I can tell a difference in my beers with and without it. My beers clear much faster...

Yes I did. I'll have to look at my notes, but I think I mashed around 154-155 for an hour. Dunk sparged at 170 for 10 mins. The 2-row is in there just to make sure I got full conversion.

I'm posting to myself here, but I'm using this as a journal now, lol. Bottled this up today, got 54 bottles. I think this is going to be a winner. I can't really taste the honey malt now, but I'm betting it will come through after bottle aging for 2-3 weeks.

I'm sure this has been done, but I can't find anything through the search. Here's my set up: I have a 5 gallon pot so I usually do a partial boil, and top off at the end. I always partial mash (in a bag) in my 5 gallon pot as well. I'm thinking I could easily mash 8-10lbs of grain in my...

Ok so would I drop the Victory then? I could mash up to 3lb of MO with the rest of the specialty grains. Or would it need to be like 2.5lb MO and .5lb victory to make up for the DME.

Well I can only partial mash right now, so I can't really use marris otter. That's why I threw in the victory. Check out my recipe right above...seem ok?

I was at brew at the zoo. They had the same sized sample cup with an option to buy extra tickets as well. I was nice and toasty after a few hours with plenty of chances to taste all the beer I wanted, and go back for seconds of the great ones. I think the sample is a decent size. It allows you...

I posted this in another thread with no luck. What do you guys think? Sorry if this was already covered, but I can only partial mash so I was wondering if this looked like a good recipe to you guys. I have EKG on hand so that's another substitue I'll making. 2.1lb Muntons Light DME 1lb 2-row...

I'm almost positive that these substitutions will be ok, but I was wondering what you guys thought before I brewed this up this weekend? --Thanks

I think that link is broken, but I know which one you're talking about. I would have to make a few small changes, but I think it will still be good. I guess that's one of the points of homebrewing: I can't find what I'm looking for, so I'll just make my own damn beer. :ban:
