Thanks to everyone for taking the time. I rarely post here but use regularly for questions. I have a mill and sealer and have been buying bulk for a few years now, but great suggestions. The process and education comments rang through so thanks for that as well. I am definately not looking to...

I got fed up with inconsistent results so a couple months ago started taking steps to address. Could use some advice on next contemplated steps. Previously I was doing all grain back patio brews with 10 and 15 gallon bayou brewing pots on a banjo burner. Pots were good value but the false...

Try a cheap pump using that ice bath and run colder water through the IC in the big pot. The surface contact area of your chiller vs. the sides of your smaller pots should make a big difference. Nothing wrong with the way you are doing it, but the longer the chill the greater the risk...

Actually most NBB products have changed significantly. During college in the 90's often someone would road trip to CO from Columbia MO for kegs, and driving across Kansas SUCKS!, I wouldn't go 5 minutes out of the way for it today. Sunshine Wheat was a favorite, now it is filtered for crying...

I'd never stop driving :drunk:

They shoulda made it an amber...

Ben Affleck needs a replacement

Bummed I saw this today and missed it! Say what you want about their commercial offerings, I tend to agree, but the knowledge among AB brewers and their willingness to share with hobbyists are both awesome in my book.

Would help if you specified the yeast you plan to use. You get a little more leeway with the dunkel than a lager by nature of the beer itself, but 60 is outside the rec range for most lager yeasts and taking a risk in my opinion. You never know what fruit will result and being able to repeat...

Thanks for taking a look!

Better than the commercial to my taste buds. I bottled so a still, and next time will keg carb.

Brewing Classic Styles - it is more than just recipes. I make a pretty good northern brown, it is not Jamil's Nutcastle recipe, but the directions/recommendations he provides with his recipe helped mine get even better. I regularly consult the style notes for whatever I am brewing. Bonus, the...

Thanks for the mid day giggle! (And meant sincerely, not in a critical way) It is still just heavily sugared simply lemonade if the gravity has not moved. Best of luck, and I would humbly suggest getting that ph in line before re-pitching. If it was the culprit the first time probably going...

Not at all a recipe for disaster! Per his clear instructions you are finishing out the cider in the secondary and then priming for carbonation with a reasonable amount (I would cut the dextrose a bit, but that is just my volume preference with a cider). It is more to a dry than sweet cider...

With the button top left of the thread list that says "New Thread" :cross:. Much better idea to start a new one than participate in the revival of an almost 2 year old one :mug:.

I can't find much of anything on this one, either here or thru google. Tired it for the first time recently and fell in love. So the brewer in me took over given its a limited release product. Wanted a high abv so... 4 gallons Musselmans Fresh Press Apple Juice (26g/8 fl oz) dumped in...

FWIW in my experience Notty won't leave sweetness unless you stop it early or go above the alcohol tolerance. But the crisp dry is good and can always be back sweetened.

I have 3 gallon of cyser starting but bought 4.5 gallon of fresh pressed for extra. I also have an Ed Wort apfelwein kegged and recently put on tap, (I did use nottingham vs. chapange yeast but everything else the same. Musselman's "fresh press" brand juice used.) It was good as usual but I...

possibly the "default" ppg of 32 on the LME. Probably correct but seems low for lme "default" (36-37 more common) and at 4 pounds a few points would add up quickly.
