I skipped the yeast option and bought some safale-05. I typically use dry yeast in place of 001 or 1056. Full boil, all grain.

I also got this kit on Friday July 5. I am brewing it tonight and plan on using some muslin bags which I rarely use. What yeast are you using?

I am looking to open something on the nano scale in Cincinnati and would love to know how things are progressing with this.

The RIS has been in the barrel since Thursday and I plan on sampling tonight or tomorrow. I brew weekly so I always have something ready to go into the barrel once I remove the RIS. I have heard to go lighter with each batch as well. Thoughts? I am thinking I will slosh around some cheap...

I just got a 5gal oak barrel from Balcones that had single malt whisky in it. I already put a RIS in there to age. My question is how do I get 2, 3, 4, etc beers to age in there without souring them? I brew once a week so I would always have something to immediately put in the barrel once I...

I am brewing this tonight. I threw .5lb of rice hulls in there just to avoid any sticking. Should be an amazing smelling boil!

Thanks for all of the info. I typically dont brew this style so I dont have much experience. All of the ingredients are ones I already have so it will be cheap and tasty. If this recipe works out nicely I will brew it up again for a nice early summer beer. Brewing it 11/8/12.

That helps, thanks. It will still be super cheap and hopefully not too sweet.

Ok, so I have almost a full 5-gallon bucket of this stuff and more than that of the wheat. All of it was free and I need a good way to use a lot of it up. Suggestions?

I am going to brew this 11/1/12. I brew every Thursday and thought this would be a very topical brew plus I love porters. I was thinking of racking this onto my Wyeast 1028 which has my robust porter on it now. Thoughts?

Everything went well with the brew last night. I roasted the pureed pumpkin for 20min or so and then added it to the mash with only 25min left and added the rice hulls at the same time. I held the spices until flameout and the vanilla went in after I chilled it. I cut the clove to .5 tsp. It...

I am going to brew up a Hazelnut coffee pumpkin ale tonight. 11 lbs 2-Row Brewers Malt; Briess 1.5 lbs Crystal 60; Crisp 1 lbs Chocolate Malt; Breiss 2.5 lbs German Light Munich 1 lbs Rice Hulls .5 oz Fuggle - 4.8 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min .75 oz Fuggle - 4.8 AA% pellets...

We may use this recipe for our next barrel aging.

Where did you get it? I have been waiting and Cavalier said they would let me know when it arrived.
