Homebrewed "Dundalk Irish Heavy" from Northern Brewer.....Damn what an additional week can do to a beer!

+1 on the Starsan! Just submerge yer chiller in a bucket of Starsan and watch the dullness disappear in 10 minutes....I would rather have whatever that "dullness" is, in my bucket rather than in me beer...... Roll away the dew!

I quit!

Maybe it's just me but when I first started using extract kits, I followed the directions to the "T". Most of them said to bring 2-2.5 Gallons to 150 and hold the grains for 30 minutes then bring the temp up to 170 and discard the grains. Since I have a 10 gallon boil kettle, I have started...

Thanks for the tips boot! I bought the extract kit due to me being lazy, but I plan on keeping a close eye on the boil regardless. When you say you fermented at the lower end of the temp, what was is consistently at? I also went with the Wyeast 1056 rather than changing the recipe, just to get...

Grateful Dead, Yonder Mountain String Band, Keller & The Keels, JJ Grey & MOFRO or I just started listening to Sirius satellite "Jam On" station.....

I wash mine inside out with oxyclean and rinse with a kitchen sprayer, hang it to dry and then blow off the dried grain/husks with some compressed air. Prior to brewing, i soak it in the sanitizer bucket while waiting on the boil. I know it's not needed to sanitize before the boil, but I am OC...

Any updates ? Much Appreciated!

Any updates on this kit? I just ordered one from NB and plan on starting it this coming weekend and would appreciate any "further" tips. Looking at the previous 8 pages, I think I am also going to be building a "hop hanger" for the boil. Anyone use this device with a pound of hops yet?

Just added the German Tradition hops at beginning of me boil.... Making a Belgian Dubbel that will be ready to roll for St. Paddy's Day. Wishing all of you and yours a happy and successful New Year.

There is a "real" home-brew shop in Nutter Fort and it's not The Spirit Shop. The only down side is that the "Cellar" is only open on Fridays. Todd is the real deal home brewer and winemaker. Anyhow. , his shop is behind RG Honda in the back basement of the old Custom Carpet. The guys at the...

I will take what's behind curtain (A)

+1 on the above post...I went to Lowe's and they had 3 packs of "paint strainers" for $5.00, work great and also double for the all-grain BIAB.

Read that on the packaging and looked around NB's siteto come up with this: O.G: 1.065 READY: 2 MONTHS 1–2 weeks primary, 1 month secondary, 1–2 weeks in keg KIT INVENTORY: SPECIALTY GRAIN -- 0.25 lbs Dingemans Caramunich -- 0.25 lbs Dingemans Special B FERMENTABLES -- 6.3...

Not a big fan of the original Blue Moon Belgian White, but I have to say that I tasted the winter abbey and it is fantastic for a BMC beer. I did a search on here and was wondering if anyone had tried it and if there may be a recipe out there somewhere. Mucho Thanko.

Depending on what "Recipe Kit" if any you are buying; don't go by the directions that come with them. If you buy a kit, search these knowledgeable boards and go with that.

As an added note, you have a great excuse for the wifey. " Honey, i started this yeast two days ago and absolutely have to make this beer tonight..I know it's our anniversary, but I really hate to waste the lives of all of those poor little creatures".

That's all you need if you want to spend a bunch of money....I bet you could scrape together that kit for no more than $100.00 if that. I asked a Pepsi driver where a guy might pick up a few of those "containers" and he said "how many would you like?" I traded him some home brew received 3 of...

Right down the road from you in Clarksburg.....Have you guys tasted anymore samples lately?

This is not my saying, I saw it in someones signature somewhere on this board...."If it looks like a monkey took a s**t and flung it around inside the carboy...you my friend are on your way to a great beer" Like I said, not my "saying" but I likes it!
