I actually it it down to 55 by the next morning. Wasn't quick, but it worked

I'm assuming you got a larger boil kettle? You'll need to figure out your boil off rate-each pot is different. That will determine your starting volume. Since you are doubling the size Of the batch, you will need to increase the amount of grain/extract you are using. This is where gravity comes...

Couldn't get the wort below 74 cuz it was such a hot day. Also pitched onto a warmish, largish yeast cake. I'm trying to get the sucker Down to temp!!

Brewday done! except for the cleanup. Missed mash in by a few degrees, but corrected it. Boiled off a bit more than usual, too. Had some great break, unfortunately a lot of it ended up in the carboy. I couldn't get the wort chilled below 74degF being so hot outside. Also got a bit of...

It's being kegged. I barely have the patience to wait for lagering!

Maybe I'll get a filter for fathers day. If not, won't Camden tabs take care of the yeast?

Brewing tomorrow. :mug: 6 lb Pilsen 2 lb wheat Mash@ 151 for 60 minutes 60 minute boil 1 oz Mt Hood 4.5% @ 60 min I’m going full lager, pitching on top of a yeast cake from my bohem pils, using WLP800. Ferment @ 55 for 10-12 days, d-rest for 2, lager til i can’t take it anymore...

I just brewed this as a 3 gal BIAB, using WLP800. It’s currently chill in at 51 degF and seems to be going great. It was surprisingly easy to hit all my temps! This is also my first lager. How long should I keep it at this temp? Is the d-rest before or after the lagering period?

Northern brewer has always been my go-to for ingredients and equipment. Fast and efficient. And they have everything I need. My favorite part is that they have replied to every email Facebook post and tweet.

Aren't hops weeds? I just might toss it in the boil anyway! Kidding

These are my new babies!! How heavy will they be in the first year? I don't want to put anything permanent up just yet, but I want to give them the support they need!!

It's hard to tell where it is. More info?

I’ve brewed this a few times, always with a different result. last batch was entirely too bitter. my bad though, didn’t calculate the hop additions right. I;m gonna use the Big Brew Day recipe to try and recreate it as well! I always use wlp029, but have never dry hopped it. never came close...

Oh, just opened my first ash of the season! Soooo delicious! Can't wait to get to Nola next week.

I'm trying to make a lemon-ginger cream ale. I have now only the fermented cream ale and I'm looking for tips/advice on how to get the lemon in. I've done ginger before in secondary, rough chop, frozen then added to secondary. Not sure how much/what parts to put in. Any stories??

You just quoted yourself

Going to Nola in 2 weeks! Hope they have some Left. I'll bring back a few to do side by side

Mine turned out a bit darker than I expected.

This is a variant from the NB recipe. Dunno much about bjcp styles. I just drink the stuff.
