Does anybody have a caramel bock clone recipe? Or whats the best way to impart a "caramelized" flavor in your bock?

Hey I just got a reminder of that movie I meant no harm Towson tiger22.

thanks guys

Lets say I have a 20 gal MLT and decide that i want to brew a 5 gal "test" batch with a total grain bill of 10-11lbs. and the grain bed is only maybe 3-4 inches deep. would there be any problem with this scenario?

ha ha paul blart ha ha

Sooooo.........If I drink 30 on fri/sat nite and maybe a couple on wed. My per/nite average would be like almost a sixer. I kinda like the sound of that. I think i'll go look at my carboy and have a beer.

I would love a lagunitas hop stupid sticker. I'll trade ya for a surley brewing co. sticker

that is what I was thinking I really like forcing it is so much easier than what my friend goes through. I think I'll stick with what I know. thanks guys

thanks guys that has answered alot of questions for me. that is what a site like this is all about. Ill keep good notes and keep plugging away.

I have been brewing now for a year and always forced carb'd my batches. Do you get a different flavor profile from the whole priming sugar natural method? Am i missing out on something?

how exactly do you go about determining your efficiency? also if the batch is too high won't the beer be sweet at finish? or will it just have higher abv? sorry for all the questions.

yea after the boil there was exactly 5 gallons. The hops I used was 1.5oz williamette pellets @ 60 and .5 williamette @ 20. The kit didnt give me a pre boil gravity but I think it was around 1085 in the first few quarts after mash water started to run clear.

Thanks guys the only thing i was worried about was when I did the extract version it too came out a little high in the fg i think it was around 1018-1019. Also (not to beat a dead horse) when I mashed I had a total grain bill of 10.25# so @ 1.25qts/# my mash water was close to 3.25 gallons. My...

Hey guys/gals I just brewed my first ag batch fri after xtract brewing for a year after I was done I took my sg reading for the goose island nut brown clone and it was a tad high @ 1052 so i proceeded like normal transfered, pitched, and fermented. My question is if the batch turns out high or...
