Hello! I'm working this out so that I can brew during the summer in order to have it well aged by next winter. I figure this will be an 18-month in waiting Christmas present to myself and a few select friends for Christams 2015. What do you think of using half D-45 and half D-90 in order to...

My family and I went house shopping this weekend. I've been designing small fermentation chambers in my head for a year now. I am all about consistent results, so I wanted to stabilize my temps (especially after my recent batch of Tripel dropped from 76 to 64 in a little over avday's time)...

Chickow! from Triple Digit Brewing in Cincinnati, Ohio... one of my new favorites. Looking forward to grabbing some when I'm in Cincinnati this weekend. Devil's Tramping Ground Tripel from Aviator Brewing in Fuquay-Varina, NC. This beer is trouble. So smooth, so tasty, no burn 9.5% ABV. A...

+1 She bought me the starter kit, but now I spend all of my free time reading about beer, browsing these forums, or brewing. This is my only true hobby that doesn't have an outside-the-hobby application. I play and practice guitar, but I play at church. I cook, but the whole family eats...

This gave me a lot of great ideas - thanks for putting this out!

This is my favorite company I've ordered from so far. My orders have always shipped within 24 hours, everything is packed in an above-average fasion, the grains seem fresh, and the double-crush mill selection is a nice touch. Grain prices are below average, and shipping isn't terrible. My...

I had to replace the old cheese that was next to the TAD, so I put the fancy beer there to impress everyone. HA! The Quad was my favorite, while the Insanity topped the Blithering Idiot.

Just about died reading this thread.

I know this thread is ancient, but I'm going to brew this next week. I have a Tripel that I'm about to bottle, and my plan was to harvest the yeast. However, I am about to move (to Ohio, no less), a it will be easier to transport (or consume) the beer than do the yeast project. So, I think...

I had the book next to me the whole time I did this, constantly double-checking to make sure I didn't mess it up :mug: Looks like you've done your research and developed a plan. I hope it works well for you! I also have similar motivations to you. I brew the amount I brew for four...

I'm in the same boat as you (just stopped doing 5 gallon partial boil extracts in my 5G kettle, and now I do 2.5-3G BIAB). My last two brew days, I split a Wyeast Smack pack by doing the following: I made a 1.5 quart 1.060 starter (a little high, as I added some sucrose to replicate the...

My plans aren't overly-ambitious: I do BIAB, and I only make 2.5-3.5 gallon batches. I've been doing a lot of research to see if I can do well, not just get by, on a 110/120V 1800W induction cooktop with my existing 5G kettle. Then I'd like to get a pump a recirc. However, if I do go to...

Great looking rig! Subscribed for future reference, in case I don't pursue induction.

YES! This.

This gets me incredibly excited - espcially the Morlein Brewery! Thanks for your reply. We are going up there to view several houses and hopefully put an offer in next weekend. Once we finally get the move done, I'll look forward to hitting some of these places up with you.

I just sampled a Tripel I brewed two weeks ago. My reading today was 1.009, after an OG of 1.74. Table sugar amounts to 19% of my fermentables (52% pils, 26% 2-Row, 3% Carapils). If this dries out much more, I will be a little low as far as what is officially "in style", but my...

That's great - I'm glad it will be done sooner than I thought! Maybe in time for some March madness if I use my Tap A Draft and force carb. I took reading today, just out of curiousity. I normally don't touch a beer for a minimum of 2 weeks when I assume it's done. I'm deathly afraid of...

I've been trying ure out when to bottle this. I brewed this one week after a Tripel, using yeast frome the same starter. I plan on letting the Tripel sit on the cake for 4-6 weeks total, and then age it out for a month or so before trying. What about for an IPA like this, using a Belgian...
