Yea from what I've read it has to do with the bubbles help release the aroma. No exact scientific way for me to show it, but my first time doing a heavy dry hop the nose after was not quite where I wanted and once it was carbed up it was much better!

interesting I will check it out!

I try to stay away from extracts such as that. Just a personal preference as I like the challenge of trying to get the flavors from the grains or the actual item :)

Yes I did not want to stir it, but I got a little worried haha Hopefully time will be my friend and get more flavor through in these next 7 days! I'm with you... Peanut Butter and Chocolate easily one of the greatest flavor combos of all time for me haha

I will be kegging. Ideally keg it Sunday before I start watching all the Super Bowl festivities! I was wondering.... is it the same idea that you get from dry hopping that carbonation helps bring out the flavor more as well as getting a stronger aroma?

Made an imperial stout (5 gallon batch) that will be a more or less peanut butter cup stout. Around 8% abv. The base beer is really nice. I soaked 4oz of cacao nibs in about 3/4 cups of vodka for a week. When racking to secondary I threw the nibs in to the bottom of the carboy and I gradually...

Good call on the solution -- one must be off.

Hmm...not sure how quickly once fermentation begins how long before the presence of alcohol is there as the alcohol would distort the reading. Maybe try and run the reading through a calculator to see what it would actually be at?

I got this one for under $20 on amazon a month ago. It works great! I've used it a decent amount of times and compared to my hydrometer and it is spot on. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LZFXT7S/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

far from an expert, but 6 packs seems to be way too much. I just brewed a 5 gallon batch of peanut butter cup stout that had an OG of 1.080 and I only used two packs of US 05 per the recipe/kit. Do you have a method of temp control? If not, it may be leaning towards the higher temp range of the...

just start typing and it begins to auto populate -- search in a broad manner to have the different options/maltster

wow! Interesting... thanks for sharing!

I thought about that...but as is CO2 tanks..you don't have a great idea of how much is left...would hate to have them empty out what may be plenty left.

That could be quite the issue if it's a bad seal. On northern brewer it says it takes about 2-5 to dispense a 5 gallon keg...that's quite the range haha

Hi All- Excited to be tapping my 2 Oktoberfest brews in 3 weeks. I should be okay on my 5lb CO2 tank with carbonating and serving (carbed and served 4 kegs so far and filled handful of bottles/growlers with beer gun), but. . . . I'd rather not be mid party and run out which would be very...

Yep agreed. At least a goodbye party to go through any remaining inventory and make a little more cash. Very odd.

Yea was open a few years. My Co-worker said the beers were decent, but the location was terrible and not exactly easy to find. Guessing no one will ever know what happened.

totally off topic from what you guys are discussing above. . . Full Spectrum Brewing: A co-worker mentioned to me yesterday he is pretty sure they closed. Their website no longer works and google search says closed. Anyone have an idea what happened? Was on my list to check out soon. . . guess...

love Brewer's Friend -- getting a membership helped take my brew game to the next level!

Hi All- I will be transferring my two 5 gallon Oktoberfest batches on Sunday to their kegs. I usually carbonate via the burst carb method over 3-4 days. For these I think I just want to set it and forget it. I was planning on 2.5-2.75 volumes// 12-13 PSI and serving/carb at 38 degrees.. I...
