So 4oz for 2.5 gallons is the same coffee to beer ratio that I was thinking of using. I was thinking of using a hazelnut coffee, have you ever tried that type of coffee in beer?

I live an hour south of this brewery but I cant get any surly beers here in Rochester :(, so i have to do the next best thing.... clone their beers. I'm doing 5 gallon AG batches. Here is some info from their site: STYLE: Coffee flavored American Brown Ale MALT: Pale Ale, Aromatic...

I have done roughly a dozen 5 gallon AG batches, and want to step up to 10 gallon batches. I have a coleman extreme 52qrt, has anyone tried to use this cooler for 10 gallon batches? Doing some quick spargepal calculations that would be 6.5 gallons for 20lbs of grain.....

you were right, the starters were at 1.020, so i just must have missed the fermentation, worrying over nothing.....

Is the specific gravity affected my the wort temperature? So if I measure my OG at flameout ~175 degrees and again when it is down at say ~72 degrees are the gravity readings going to be the same?

no I don't have any S04, all i have on hand is s05, wlp-13, and two pints of wyeast 1056 which has already fermented 2 batches....

I'm brewing a barley wine tomorrow. I want to use WLP13 (london ale), but my starter isn't taking off as well as I had hoped. I split the one vial into 2 1/2 gallon 1.060 starters 2 days ago, and I have a few bubbles going but the yeast isnt going gang busters....... So getting to my...

Thanks everyone for the posts. I picked up a digital thermometer at menards for $15 on Sunday and I found an interesting iphone app called 'spare pal'. I think with those two things I shouldn't have to worry about missing my sparge temps again. On a side note, I love reusing yeast! Saves...

So this was my first attempt at all grain since getting back from overseas.... I wanted to mash in at 152 for 60 minutes. I heated the water to 165 thinking that should offset my grain temp (11.5 lbs of grain) + heat my mash ton (coleman extreme). I was wrong. My temp was 144ish, so I...

I'm currently deployed overseas and can't wait to get my hands on some home brew once again. I thought I would start this discussion to get some opinions on an easy AG recipe to get me back into brewing. I've only done 6 AG recipes before I left for this wonderful part of the world, but I...

I got retarded low effeciency brewing this today. 1.070!! BP can you please post details on your process for this? I mashed in all the grains at 148 for 90 minutes with 5 gallons of water. Then sparged with 180 degree water (batch sparge). I'm a mega noob to AG and would like some more...

Cool, thanks! Unfortunately there is still alot of COBOL out here, and it needs to be maintained.

i did 5 gallons

Thanks! Sounds just like my wife. I'm thinking this brew would be a match for her!

Do you think this would stay in bottles for 1 year?

Awesome keezer, I will join the jester fan club and attempt this at some point. What type of boards did you use for the coffin, the boards surronding the marble, and the bottom cabinet? Pine, Oak, ply?

I saw you were comparing this brew to 'BMC', what is that?

Is this similar to a New Glarus Spotted Cow?

Just kegged this last night and drew an early pint. Tastes great! Thanks Edwort, my gravity only went from 1.040 to 1.010 so it's a little lighter but is still very good and drinkable. Is there any way to make this more like a New Glarus Spotted Cow? Do they add flaked corn, because I think...

Could I increase the time in the mash tun to 90 minutes, from what I've read, doing so would just allow more time for fermentables to get introduced into the wort.
