Sorry I guess I should have specified, this is a sour Flanders red I have in the barrel. The barrel is a 60 gallon french oak barrel. It is not a small 5-10gallon oak barrel.

Anyone have any good ideas on how to keep a oak barrel cool during the summer if I store my barrel in a hot garage that gets up to mid to high 80s during the summer? I would like to keep it low 70s, high 60s preferably... but... Would a AC unit blowing right onto the barrel connected to a...

OG was 1.120 Went for it. Filled it up to the neck... about an inch and a half away from rubber stopper. We shall see in a few months! Thanks all!

So I did a Barleywine back 2 months ago. I split the batch into two 6g carboys. 1 is down to 1.025 which is tasting pretty amazing! The other one only got down to around 1.037 and it's way too sweet. It's been at that FG for about 3 weeks now so it's not going anywhere. I used wlp099 SD...

Well that sounds really good, although I haven't done anything like it. Would live to hear how it comes out if you do it. Brett first then lactose towards the end or what were you thinking? Sent from my VS980 4G using Home Brew mobile app

I might have missed it, but how did they all taste so far uncarbed?

Abt 12 is the same recipe just different water profile. Sent from my VS980 4G using Home Brew mobile app

water bath (water in a plastic tote will work with carboy in it and put a thing of ice (1 liter, or 2 liter, depending on how much colder you want the water). Some put a wet tshirt over the carboy as well. I've never done this way but I've read a lot of people who have. Seems like a super...

interesting conversation. sub'd

Even at 70 IBUs? Trying to add a bit more mouthfeel without the carapils because I don't have any. Maybe drop the crystal 15 down to 1lb, keep .5 of 40L crystal? Or you think still too much?

60gallons of a to be flander's red brewed and thrown into a barrel! 15g DIPA 5g Session Ale 10G Coconut Red 10g Session Ale 10g Barleywine 5985 + 110 = 6095 Now to drink it all!

Yes, was figuring I would. I mashed at 156-157 last time. It was fine. I was more asking about the white wheat or lack there of and the crystal 15. Would 1.5lb of Crystal 15 be too much if I took out the white wheat?

So, I really liked this recipe but there was too much wheat/barley flavor too it. Also, I also changed this a bit more to adjust to get more flavorful bitterness and not as much simple bitterness. What if I took the white wheat out completely and upped the crystal 15L to 1.5lb. Too much...

Oh good, kegging is so much easier! :) Sent from my VS980 4G using Home Brew mobile app

Since it sounds like you are going to bottle your beer, I would suggest to keep it all in the primary. After about 2 weeks, add dry hops, and about 1-2 days before you bottle it, add the coconut. Rack off when done with the coconut into bottling bucket, and bottle. If you are going to add...

Also be careful whenever you do carbonate if you do so with priming sugar. Definitely add new yeast. Cow level is based really on what you want. I like the low carbonation thick barleywine myself. Up to you though! Sent from my VS980 4G using Home Brew mobile app

Bisco I meant 5g carbon, not 6 unless your batch size is 6g. You want as little oxygen And headspace in the carboy as possible Sent from my VS980 4G using Home Brew mobile app

I might just order a bag of whole cone hops and try it. Who knows, right? Ifast636, let me know if you try it also! and It of course would be for flavor, so I don't think I would want to steep it while it's hot! more so room temp overnight or in the fridge maybe? Cold steep? Will have to...

I downloaded this... and I have to say, ibrewmaster for iphone blows it out of the water. I understand brewmaster is almost $9.99 but I would rather pay it and have a really nice app for recipe management and formulation. Bummed...
