I did indeed, bottled it about a week and a half ago. Little worried to be honest, was not digging the taste out of the fermenter at all. Aroma and color were nice. I've never made a Belgian, so really hoping the 2+ months in the bottle will even it out. I used 7 cans of cherries, 4 sour, 3...

Would love to try this as well. Is the 2 lbs of candi sugar just steeped with the rest of the grains?

Hello all, Finally got a propane burner and a giant pot in order to do full wort boils. Not all-grain yet, but extract and steeping grains. Couple of quick questions: 1. With full wort, I assume I just use 5 gallons to start and then imagine I"ll need to add water at some point...

Nice guys, I like this a lot!

Hey Timbrewz, How much of the 3 hops and orange peel? 1 oz per?

Thanks guys, great stuff. It's for a 5 gallon cask batch recipe btw. Will be available at a local beer fest coming up.

Hey guys. First of all, please excuse my lack of full knowledge here. I know this may seem a bit undetailed...hence my asking for help though! Anyway, have a cool opportunity to go brew at the Sweetwater Brewery in Atlanta next week for winning a contest. We are set to brew an...

I actually don't have a secondary vessel, read many accounts saying you don't really need one. Personal preference of course. I'm just going to add the jasmine and last ounce of hops about 8-9 days in when airlock bubbling has clearly stopped. Is that ok you think?

Hello all, I searched for this and didn't find much concrete info. Anyway, I ordered the AHS IPA kit in their anniversary ale and am going to brew it up this weekend. I always like to put my little touch on any kit I might do and decided on jasmine based on a couple things that I read...

I was thinking about Aprihop actually, but was just gonna throw a bunch of fresh apricots in the fermeter in secondary. Not sure if that's the best route. A co-worker mentioned rose or hibiscus petals. Anyone familiar with that? Still looking for more recs, any and all would be...

Hello all, I just purchased the AHS Anniversary IPA kit. I'm sure it'll be great but I tend to not like brewing stuff at home that I can easily get at any decent store. Meaning, just a normal, simple IPA is fine....but I'd rather add a little something to it. What might you guys...

Awesome, great feedback guys. I'm gonna go with the dry Safale-04 from the recipe mentioned and do a swamp cooler with frozen ice packs to get it between 60-65 degrees. Thanks!

Sorry all, I should've searched. I'm normally good at that but did not realize how popular a question it's been.... So...I've seen that it's good to just ferment at room temp; with the lager yeast so that you get the closest flavor to a true Oktoberfest as possible but have also read it's...

Hello all, I'd love to do an Oktoberfest for my next batch (just 4th overall) but I understand those need to be lagered and fermented at colder temps. I have no equipment to ferment at such and don't really want to mess with an ice bath for over 2 weeks potentially.... My LHBS guy...

Thanks guys, finally got some krausen going now on top....the blowoff tube is looking to be needed yet as there's plenty of room between the top of that and the carboy hole...but I'll leave it on for the next 48 hrs or so just in case. Also....this is a Weihenstephaner hefe but it's nearly as...
