I think it's a style issue. Do it of you want to. I just moved a Belgian I've had in primary for a month to a secondary, but only because I thought it might help clearing it up. I just popped the first bottle of a wheat beer i skipped the secondary on and it tasted and looked just fine.
Again...
Is it typical to have to install a blowoff assembly with higher gravity beers? I've made a tripel and an IPA that both had OG of 1.060. Each had about a gallon of headspace and still needed the assembly.
I have a NB Belgian tripel that has been bubbling away for a little over two weeks now. Although its slowed down a bit this morning, is this normal? How long should I wait before racking to secondary once the bubbling stops? Thanks for any insight.
I was thinking along those lines. I like to brew small enough that I can finish a batch before I am craving something else. If I can still do 5 gallon batches of session beers and the occasional high gravity Trappist type I think I'd be set. Thanks for the perspective.
Are there any rectangular ones that people would recommend? Most of what I'm seeing as far as reviews go is for the round ones. Would I need to drill a hole in it? Or would do they come with spigots attached?
So it wouldn't be a bad to have a 10 g mash tun and a 5 g to hold the spare water? I was under the impression that they needed to be he same size. If I can do one of each that'd help with cost and space.
I'm looking at going into all grain brewing for my next batch. I've been researching quite a bit on how to make my own, and I feel confident that making one isn't the problem.
From your guys' experience, what's the difference with brewing between a 5 gal and 10 gal? From what I...
Recently had stone brewery's pale ale. I thought it was awesome, but couldn't help but wonder why it was considered a pale ale. It tasted pretty aggressively hopped and the color was more amber in color. Felt more like an IPA to me. Are my tastes buds off? I would love to brew something like...
