    First Time Using Blowoff Tube

    It's probably around 65 degrees down there so it's kinda chilly. I will change the water out and use a bigger pitcher.

    First Time Using Blowoff Tube

    Yea maybe you can't tell by the picture but I filled the pitcher half way. I'll add some starsan to the water though.

    First Time Using Blowoff Tube

    I I just brewed a Belgian Tripel which ended at a 1.085 OG and I pitched two yeast packets so I'm expecting a lot of action. I decided to use a blow off tube for the first time. Does this system look ok? Any adjustments?

    Why you should never get creative...

    Time heals all is some of the best advice I've gotten in home brewing. I had a wheat I made from scratch sitting around for months because the first one I tried was disgusting. I opened one before I dumped them all out and it was fantastic.

    Belgian Tripel w/ spice?

    I hadn't really thought about exactly what spices. I was thinking about adding them to fermenter after a couple weeks though. I was thinking something Christmasy.

    Belgian Tripel w/ spice?

    I am planning on brewing tomorrow but the only kit I have at the moment is a Belgian Tripel. I kind of wanted to add a few spices to a beer this season. Is this completely a bad idea for the BT?

    Low OG

    Well I Do love my hops so I guess I will wait and see how it turns out. I just used Nottingham dry ale yeast. Activity in the airlock this am so I got that going for me.

    Low OG

    Well I topped it off with about a gallon and a half of water so I'm hoping that's all it is. Thanks for the input guys!

    Does this mean I will have about 3% alc though?

    Low OG

    I guess my question is if I added too many hops and not enough sugar could this land me with a super low ABV?

    Low OG

    Didn't do a taste test but it smelled wonderful.

    Low OG

    So I just brewed and I realized after I pitched that I forgot to take the OG. Went back down and took it... The first time I did it was about 1.020 then it was 1.045 then the last time it was back down to around 1.030. I added a ton of hops to this brew and I believe I read once the more hops...

    Hockey, unpopular among fellow homebrewers?

    Well they made the more defensive style last year too and we see how that went. I wish Varlamov would have kept healthy. He could have been amazing. I think Sasha needs to step it up big time and same with Green or I would like to see them dealt by mid season. Backstrom looked like crap in the...
