Honey ferments out very well, like 95% or something, and is more mellow than sugar IMO. It will definately effect the beer in a number of ways. I would say more like a pound of the stuff. Very important, since it was not part of the boil it needs to be pasturized, either by maker or by you...

A standard american wheat with orange and corrainder? I am no expert, or anything close, but always seemed to me more of an american interpretation of a Belgian which made sense given the story. I don't care for Mothership all that much. Thanks for the update/correction. When did this...

Or, spend $15 more to get a 58000 BTU burner and stand thrown in... http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-30Quart-Propane-Turkey-Fryer/product/10211271/-1530748 Then go here to kill the timer... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/looking-outdoor-brewing-setup-203717/

3 days in oxy and I could still smell it.

I was at the HBS waiting for them to open the next morning!!!

I have found a number of requests for a clone recipe on different sites, but not much in responses. I know the brewmaster biked through belgium to perfect his skills (Fat Tire named after the bike) so I wanted to keep it true to a Belgian wit with the limitation of what my LHBS carried...

:) just came back to edit after finding that sticky, but thanks wise! So after washing and rebuilding it will be basically the same as rehydrated Nottingham packet? Seems like a lot of work compared to a cheap dry packet.

I have read Jamil's comments on starters re: young healthy vs weak (thin cell wall) heavily propogated at higher temp. Just made me wonder what a high alcohol environment did to the cell structure if anything. Any thoughts on using an ale yeast used in a cider then re-pitched for an ale...

What about long rolling boil after fermentation and adding tabs for carb, perhaps a dry hop as well? Pretty sure AB boiled of the alc.

In that case, (forgive the cup references but recipe meant for those w/o a scale): 1 cup Crystal 60 2 cups chocolate malt 5# LME 1# mild honey( clover, some wildflower, etc.) 1 oz Golding 60 min .5 oz Golding 15 min Safale 04 or liquid English ale Steep the choc and crystal rather...

or add some honey, goes well with a raspberry wheat, I would know, I just drank an 8.7% ABV rasp/honey dunkel and was licking the glass when it was gone. :)

Also, when trying to impress FIL without a lot of experience, stick to a mostly extract kit, steeping some specialty grains is easy and worthwhile IMO. Make up a label identifying it as his beer and you are GOLDEN. Trust me, I have 4 daughers.

Don't give a new guy a lager! He'll never make it and likely lacks the stup. He, like me, will want to taste, then drink, then that one night with several friends come over and (poof). Do an ale that is drinkable early, a nut brown with honey is a great choice because it will mask a lot of...

I just racked a cider to a corny for cold conditioning. It is your basic Musselmann's Fresh Press (commercial brand trying to sound cool but it is a bit more apple flavor). A bit of holiday flavoring, some LME, brown sugar, AJ concentrate ,honey and maple syrup. Pretty strong but not...

When I got the fill locally (welding supply) I asked the guy about o-rings (thinking of a pure luck cheap source for corny replacement rings) and he assumed I was talking about the o-ring on the tanks out. He indicated the fiber washer that comes with most valves is an either/or deal with the...

$42? That is a good deal! Jump on it.

I can see that danger.

I owe you a beer.

Big help P-J, thank you! Wish they were easier to get my hands on though...

5L, nope, the one I listed is a Turkey Fryer/Steamer/Boiler. A $40 aluminum option is currently on sale at Bass Pro. (normally $79)
