ive used nottinghams but pretty much use "coopers brewers yeast" i think its a bit different than what comes in the cans, cause 1 its always fresh and it comes in 15 gm packs instead of the usual 7, i always get a hearty fermentation. I would like to try some liquid yeast some day...

ive made lots of beer but this was my first wine , a VDV kit "chileen cabernet merlot" very good even after 35 days before bottling. just bottled tonight we are planning on giveing bottles away for xmas along with a couple holiday themed beers. My wife is also happy the wine turned out!

this subject may have been discussed before, not sure... my problem is that my OG readings are higher than estimated in beersmith. here is the recipe but it seems to be the same for most 6.60 lbPale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM)Extract72.5 %0.75 lbCaramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM)Grain8.2 %0.75...

ya i just ordered that and some back issues last week also:) cant wait!

ya i did pretty much the same thing with a coopers wheat beer kit, added 3 lbs of rasberry/blackberry mix, pretty well no hop bitterness, a bit tangy from the fruit but good, I made it for my wife and she likes it lots so thats whats important.

lol thats awsome, 30 ltr primary pail with lid... the lid was pushed way up like a big bubble. things have slowed down now and the blow off is burping along like normal

ive used the port o palmer recipe as a guide before, I liked it alot, i uped the black malt to 1/2 lb though and substituted the hops for northern brewers and goldings. my latest recipe I used 3/4lb crystal 1/2 chocolate, 1/2 black, 3/4 rye malt for my steeping grains. its in just about ready...

Hi I switched to a blowoff tube a couple batches ago cuz my airlock kept getting plugged... the batch I just brewed I had to move to the laundry sink because the 3/4" blow off tube kept getting plugged and or couldnt keep up with the pressure the lid kept coming off and spewing out the side. I...

i recently bought a couple cases of flip bottles, some ceramic and some plastic... I had a couple not seal right and they were ceramics but I realized that they had old rubber gaskets so ive changed them and havent had a problem since so id say that both are about equal...

question? not to highjack the thread but ive heard that steeping grains such as black malts for longer than 30 mins will cause bad flavours? this is in regard to doing a 60 minute steep/mash. I have always done 30 min steeps at around 160 and rinsed the grain bag a few times when complete...

I am thinking of useing some rye malt in a porter recipe, like 1/2 lb or somthing, any thoughts on using rye malt for porter? I think i would dig it but id like some feedback for ammounts ect. I generaly like robust porter styles.

just bought a bottle of Presedents choice bbq sauce 1 litre bottle, with a swing top. Out of curiosity I turned it upside down and sure enough EZ Cap on the bottom, sweet! I know what brand of bbq sauce I will be buying from now on.

ya I buy mine in bulk too, I just bring in my litre containers which are about a kg and full them up with light, dark or malto dextrin. $6 bucks canadian per litre

ive made this recipe before but minus the nugget and used 1.5 pearl 60 mins 1 0z cascade 15 mins 1 oz 5 1 oz dry hop, I am drinking it now after 4 days in bottles and its primed and delicous, I imagine the hops will chill out a bit after a couple weeks in bottles but Its very tasty nontheless...

I dont particularily like guinness however I do like oatmeal stout and other stouts, ie samuel smith imperial stout etc. Mclausen (spelling) oatmeal stout. I think once you start homebrewing and trying different stuff there isnt a style you will dislike, thats me anyways... each style offers...

just bottled the sierra nevada clone off of byo but instead of carapils malt i added some wheat because I couldnt get my hands on any at the time, man the stuff is delicious, I drank about three glasses while bottling and it wasnt even primed or cold hehe, a good sign I guess. never fails though...

cool thanks for the info!

Has anyone used two different styles of yeast at the same time for one brew? do they act together, or compete? any thoughts on this would be great as I am trying to decide on german wheat or canadian/american style... possibly using both styles of yeast.
