temp is no problem, I'm in Georgia, so getting it up to 80 is absolutely no problem whatsoever. Good call on the vienna or biscuit, that's the way I'll go.

How does this look? Wanted to do a saison with a little different hop bill Briess Pilsen Extra Light Liquid Extract 6 lbs, 0 oz Table Sugar 1lb, 0z Briess 2 Row Caramel 40 (steeping) 0 lbs, 8 oz Northern Brewer Pellets 1 oz @ 60 mins Cascade Pellets 1 oz @ 5 mins Brewer's...

I'd do something 1.050 or below, pitch dry yeast or make a big starter for your white labs, keep at 68 for 3 days, then let it go, up to 75, check at a week if you are around 1.010 or below pull it out and bottle, then you've got two weeks in bottles and that's probably enough for it to be okay...

I think ideally you wouldn't have to sparge, but some people (myself) don't have the kettle volume to accommodate the entire water volume & grain so they sparge as a means of getting to the volume they need. I want to do 3 gallon batches (3 gallons in bottles, so 3.25-3.5 post boil volume), and...

I want to do a 3 gallon BIAB with a 5 gallon (20qt) pot. Ideally I'd like to do single pot, however I'm thinking I may not be able to make that work. Using Green bay rackers can I mash it calculator I'm showing about a max of 2.5 qt/lb with the 7 lbs of grain I am using to still fit in my...

Totally agree about High LIfe in bottles v. cans. Like a nice slice of buttered toast from the bottle, corn water from the can IMO

can't believe it took this long for Brick Store to get mentioned. Great place for serious beer drinking.

NB Patersbier, I just brewed and had my first bottle saturday, good stuff, light and refreshing, but with delicious belgian flavors from the yeast. If you like Belgians, and you like Pilsners, then its a good bet

It really depends on the kid, however, I would lock it up, tell them they can try some with you when they are 18. The reality is, kids think getting drunk is fun & rebelious, maybe your child respects the rules/laws enough to where this won't be a temptation, but many kids, regardless of how...

I think we are the same person. Not sure wait till next year counts for Auburn anymore though :ban:

well the corn sugar will be fully fermented out in bottles, so any sweetness from that will be gone if that was what was causing it to be too sweet. Also the carbonation will create carbonic acid when consumed, balancing the sweetness a little bit. In short, it will probably be good.

thanks

I think the 6 gallon better bottle is 11.5" wide and the same height as the 5 gallon. Can you measure to see if it would fit? Thanks!:mug:

cool, I'm opening my first bottle this weekend so I'll try and remember to post results here. Will be 2 weeks in the bottle so still could be green anyhow.

Will it hold 6 gallon BB? Doesn't look like it, if that's a 5 in the bottom

Anybody fermented with Wyeast 3787 at 72-74*? If so, how did it turn out? I did the NB Patersbier kit at that ferm temp, samples have been good and haven't been overwhelmed by any phenol flavors but its hard to judge at room temp.

hey guys, brewed my 1st batch (NB Patersbier extract kit) about 2.5 weeks ago, and am looking to bottle this weekend. Just wanted to know how everyone cleans and sanitizes bottles, since I'm about to do that and there seems to be a lot of ways to go about it (specifically the sanitation)...
