Right now its been no aging, the first batch sat in secondary for 3 weeks or so. It was an experiment and ultimately it did come out too sweet with the additions of lactose caramel. I blended 2 parts from the recipe above and 1 part of straight juice on top of the cake/lees and added some of...

Of course what's described here is very dangerous and should never be attempted unless you're outside and sober :) I stumbled across a technique called Nuke aging where you microwave a high proofed booze in a mason jar with short 10-30 burst till you see movement, add your wood chips then put...

I was very pleased with this batch and took to to my local brew store and they enjoyed it as well. I will be boiling all my ciders in the future since I am not keen on a super dry cider. From what I researched its hard to find a yeast to leave some residual sweetness and a nice flavor so why I...

I ended up boiling and condensing some juice down before fermentation which caramelized and left some great apple flavor/aroma and some sweetness. Currently I am experimenting with a dry cider back sweetened with some boiled down juice and will let you know how that turns out. Here is a link...

We may be brewing a double stout batch (golden and imperial) on 11/8

I have an inverted mash tun as well and had the same issue.To solved it I installed a cheap splatter screen from walmart which lays below my false bottom and the fine mesh catches anything that may make it through.

This has turned out to be a fantastic experiment and look forward with future batches and improving the flavor. I ran a second batch of straight juice on top of the cake/lees and its dry and lost almost apple flavor. Boiling/Condensing the juice really adds so much to this cider. SG - 1.070 FG...

I think they would work because it has the citrus aroma but before committing to a batch try the simple syrup method and see how it tastes. http://hopunion.com/aroma-wheel/?aroma=Citrus

I used pellets, the first time I experimented I made the simple syrup from the link with pacific gem and added some to a dry skeeter pee and wow. It was the wrong hop flavor but I could see where it could go if you did use the right hop like Amarillo. Make some hopped simple syrup and give it a...

In a perfect world the valves would be controlled by an arduino but till then its by hand till we work out the setup. As far as valves go 4 - Directs flow while filling the mashtun. Not necessary but allows for flow control. 5 - Directs flow while mashing. Not necessary but allows for flow...

Well we have decided to upgrade our system from 1/2 quick disconnects to hard plumbed system with camlocks and 1/2 copper. The design will allow us to simplify our brew day by opening & closing valves. For cleanup the camlocks will unlock and allow easy cleaning and the mash tun will be on a...

Very interesting product, I am in :)

Well a fellow homebrewer wanted to also make an IPL after reading about it and both having zero lager experience we figured an 8.5g batch sounded right. What do you guys think? We are going to use the Quick Lager method Chill wort to pitching temp (48-53F), pitch adequately sized starter...

Being on a tight budget this has been progressing very slow but its getting close. I took it for a manual test drive and worked awesome! Cant wait to get a pump and finish this up. Mash Tun - Inverted keg with bottom sanke drain from Bobby_M (Super fast and awesome experience) . Keg was...

Found this tool box at harbour freight for $3.99. Sent from my HTC One using Home Brew mobile app

Well decided to tweak it a bit and unfortunately ran out of gas just as I hit 147 on my mash. So since I was going to have a dry beer I rummaged through my hop stash made a new profile and tossed in a couple of sugar to make it a DIPA. After a month of bottle conditioning I am down to 2 bottles...

I am wrapping up this design and wanted to get some stickers and some shirts made up at some point.
