Well it’s not quite the same but I do have one of these (apparently this is what happens when you forget the priming sugar in your wit and mistakingly double up by putting it in the by brown). I can’t even blame being new on this one

Ha!

Just figured I would send you all a shout out. My kegging got a lot easier with your help. Turns out I was (mostly) doing things right, with your help I improved it, and that darn mini keg had a piece of metal under the o-ring and I had a bad gasket. Thanks again for the help!

You think Windsor yeast will drop much more than a couple points? If it was other yeasts, I wouldn't even bother suggesting it (I've at least learned that much), but everything I have read says not to expect big changes with windsor after 36 hours. This round is too hoppy and so its actually...

Sometimes the most obvious answer is not the obvious answer. Lol i guess I can just make myself a beer cocktail half and half. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes, I am definitely learning this. I am not sure tinkering has worked yet. Maybe I just needed someone to tell me that. Repeatedly. Again....

This particular recipe was my attempt at recreating a Canadian beer a really miss. They mention what they use on their website (Canadian companies have to tell you all ingredients) but not in proportions. From what I remember, I think it is pretty close. A friend came down recently and tried it...

I know this is a post from a few years ago and you may not remember what happened, but I am curious the outcome of your beer and what you ultimately decided to do. I am in a pickle with a porter/stout hybrid where windsor hit 46% attenuation after 36 hours, which in my experience, not much...

I have this hI was thinking about brewing more as a. Option too. I just find drinking a beer that is too sweet or too thin mediocre. I am new, so there are probably plenty of ways to improve my beer. I am trying to tackle it slowly so I can isolate my mistakes. I am guessing this one was...

How do you avoid/ deal with that if you overshoot OG and it ends up too sweet?

I have a couple batches that aren't perfect as the gravity is either too high or too low. I don't particularly want to drink mediocre beer and so I am playing with ideas to experiment. However I would rather drink mediocre beer than toss either batch. I haven't brewed long enough to know all the...

Awesome! Thank you. A lot of people are trying to detach their lives from our phone and social media, and IG and YouTube are big ones. I appreciate you expanding your giveaways so those of us not on it can participate.

My vote is on grain. Also, if you are already signed up for your email list, are you automatically entered?

I never would have thought there would be such a difference within the same category (is that the right word?). I figured within Vienna, or pilsner, or pale malt, etc. etc. it wouldn't be too different. I can understand a quality thing, but if everything is fresh, I would have thought it would...

I did a Norwegian "farmhouse ale" as a solstace beer last year and used juniper in the secondary. I quite enjoyed it. There were several recipes online that I combined to cater to my tastes, but it was basically a pale ale, with kviek yeast, very light on the hops, and then the juniper berry for...

I'll take a look for that the next time I order something online. I'm 99% certain that is not what the LHB has as it doesn't ring a bell at all

I want to say Briess but I am actually not 100% sure on this. I can report back after my next trip to the LHB if I remember to look. I did a smash with pilser and two row when I first started brewing all-grain recipes and I found it to lack a depth and highlighted a more "grassy" flavour ( I...

Here is my kolsch so far. The two 3 gallons are 2-row on the left and Pilsner on the right (the colour difference is accurate and not just background). The pic with a single carboy is a 5 gallon is that has a mix of the two (I remashed all the grain, through in a bit of fresh Pilsnermalt, and...

That’s a good idea. I hate messing with beer

Good idea. Though I use the hydrometer away the tail end of the boil
