Can't quite remember and I can't find my notes for this one. I know I just used some of the yeast starter I was using for the barleywine.

Alive a well. Thanks for the concern though! The beer has been carbing since Sunday night. I'll try the first carbed one this weekend!

No sourness at all. The ginger is very overpowering. I'm thinking of bottling this one instead of kegging. I tend to kick legs pretty quick and this one is kinda special.

Plan to keg it this weekend. That's if I wake up of course.

Like the Sahara.

Nope. I was pleasantly surprised. Aroma was great, taste was better than expected kinda like a flat ginger beer with a kick. I let swmbo try it and she put down her glass of vino to finish it.

Ok, I racked it into a sample glass. See you on the other side brothers.

I decided that this January was going to be a month of consolidation and getting rid of all the junk I have been accumulating in my house over the years. I have been putting off this one closet for months but finally this weekend got the motivation to enter this cave. I got to the back and...

I have been offered a used Danby dual stainless tap kegerator for $400. What do you guys think? I've been looking into building one myself but is comes close to this with all the parts needed. Sorry if this is in the wrong place mods... Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Brewed the extract version of this last weekend. WOW! You were not kidding about the vigorous fermentation. I ferment in a closet in my bedroom and went to sleep listening to the glug, glug, glug of the blow off tube. When I woke up, silence, I rushed to check it and found a volcano! I literally...

Ok. I went ahead and boiled 2 cups of water, chilled to 80f and pitched, stirred after 15mins, waited another 15mins then added the slurry to the carboy. Hopefully it works out. Thanks.

I made the Morebeer Pliney the Elder clone yesterday and pitched 1 US-05 packet without hydrating. I just ran a couple of yeast calculators and it looks like I need more cells. Is it too late to pitch another packet?

Would you be willing to ship the 7.5 to richmond va?

I meant add the sugar in addition. And continuos hopping by adding a little bit of the 3oz of centennial and 3oz of simcoe every few minutes until flame out.

The FG with out the extra sugar is coming it at 1.022. With the sugar its 1.020. Will the ABV be too high for an IIPA adding the sugar?
