What are the times next to the ingrediants? Yes, boil times, they don't match up because it is counting down backwards at the bottom, i.e. 90 minute boil, first 70 minutes, next 18, next 2, etc. I think this is a mini-mash recipe, correct? Yes. Cara and Crystal could be steeped, but not the...

Nope, but if you are really worried cut back just a bit on your priming sugar before bottling. Make sure you get the caps snug. By practice I cap, turn 90 degrees and do it again.

1 oz. of HBS extract to 2.6 gallons was a nice ratio. Evident but not controlling. Wound up at 8.7% ABV. Oh well, live and learn.

I was hoping the Cara-Pils and Oat Flake would give enough body, but I will keep your advice in mind and test along the way. Thanks you very much!

Bought supplies (no english 2 or 6 row available) and did a slight modification adding 1# more 2 row, .5# oat flakes, .5# Cara-Pils and cutting DME .5#. Beer: Oatmeal Stout Style: Oatmeal Stout Type: Partial mash Size: 5 gallons Color: 90 HCU (~33 SRM) Bitterness: 26 IBU OG: 1.058...

Thanks street. I plan on using smackpac of Irish Ale Yeast. If they have eng versions of the 2 & 6 row in stock I will likely follow your lead just to be safe.

I have a strong honey wheat about ready for the bottle. I wanted to split the 5 gallons and make half a raspberrry honey wheat. I was just going to get the extract from my LHBS and add to the priming syrup for the half batch. Will this work? Is there a better way? Thanks

Thanks, is that .2 amount specific to the specialty grains? I was given a rule of thumb of 1.25 qts per # of grain when mashing. Not saying that rule is right, just seems like a pretty big spread so seeking clarification (and hopefully more space!).

If I want to add the specialty grains (in current case crystal 120, eng chocolate, roasted barley) to the mash do I need to adjust the water volume to account for these? I am limited to a 5 gal. team jug for my partial mash so I will steep them instead if necessary in order to minimize the...

I have a similar thread I just started so I am paying a lot of attention to yours. I don't want to highjack, so in terms of your recipe, does anyone have a concern with the 3/4# oats to 1.25# 2 row? Specifically, will there be enough enzymes for a 60 min single mash? (I am assuming your time...

I found a Sammy Smith Oatmeal Stout clone AG recipe, but I only am set up for partial so I have come up with the following: Oatmeal Stout Partial Mash Beer: Oatmeal Stout Partial Mash Style: Oatmeal Stout Type: Partial mash Size: 5 gallons Color: 90 HCU (~33 SRM) Bitterness: 24 IBU...

~.003 for 5 oz. per another thread

thx shane, 1) yeah, I want it to be drinkable, not weak shot-able 3) I actually found out everyhting I could about the variance between a sweet an dry cider, up to talking with someone at the cider museum in Hereford, England. Yes it is a lot of sugar, but I added 2lbs. brown, honey can be...

How hot's your lady? I can think of lots of cool names for the brew with that story. Relax and have a HB. Depending on how it looks you might want to rack a second time or just into the bottler if you have one. (doubt it as a kegger but never know) Way to adapt to the situation!

I just made a hard cider. I researched it pretty well and was shooting for 107?sh. I gently Boiled one half gallon of apple juice, added 2# brown sugar, 8-10 oz. honey, 6-8 oz. maple syrup, and one can of apple juice conentrate. I steeped 4 cinnamon sticks and 8 whole cloves throughout. Per...

No offense meant as I could see it being the source, I am just getting back in and more than a little rusty, sincerely appreciate the response.

Yooper, I could EASILY pull a Homer like that, but not in this case. Thx.

Thx for the reassurance all. Thile, perfect!

Damn! I'm pretty sure everything the same except the temp when measuring. Thx for the help HG. Not enough to create over Carb in the bottle concerns? (assuming my 3 were wrong and the final was right, 3/4 cup corn sugar syrup at bottling as well.)

Wanted to keep it simple but representative of the beer. Only 12 to 24 get a label anyway.
