The problem is...bud isn't an ale... but a lager...So what is the time frame for the challenge???? Perfect for a hop shortage and high grain prices..I'm in.

i would hold it in primary for more like 4-5 weeks.

I've been having the same problem....It taste fine after primary.. once it's carbed and out of lagering it tastes to sweet.I'm going to re-pitch my latest batch[7.75 gal] and hope it cleans up again after a month or so... I usually let primary sit for at least three weeks..then another month or...

you hit the nail on the head..It seemed way smoother with a dryer way maltier finish. thanks...

sorry..Meant to post in kegging... If someone could move me..

Just wondering if using nitrogen to carb will change the flavor of beer vs using co2 to carb. I went to a local bar last weekend that serves a beer called thumpers that i have had before and loved.I had the same beer this weekend(1 week later) and couldn't put down a pint.It didn't taste like...

I used to bring back beer from costa rica once a month in a cooler taped up...and only about 1/2 to 3/4 made it each time ..

That should work out fine.. I've done it myself a hunrded times..I usually go about three to four finger lengths from the bottom of the cap with a 2 liter bottle. I find the best way to get the coke flavor out of the bottle is to soak it in amberdyne... It gets rid of the scent better than...

I'm guessing that you have never tried a plastic water bottle and are just repeating what you have read somewhere??? I've bottled at least 20 gallons in dasani and aquafina bottles. I live in florida and glass bottles aren't allowed at the beach..Plastic ones are. As long as you don't let them...

I would throw some vienna in it as well as some toasted. I made something like this about 2 months ago.I tried to make a lighter body by adding some corn sugar and flaked rice.. It came out pretty good but it need a little more hop bitterness. I used northern brewer, Hallertauer and then fuggle...

you like cat piss flavor???

before i started kegging i brewed half in plastic and half in glass.There was no difference between the 2.. I used mostly 1 liter aquafina bottles..they hold pressure just like glass. i did use just about any other kind of plastic bottle besides that..I've even used gatoraid bottles. The only...

I've done a couple batches with that thickness...I've noticed 2 things.. One mash at a lower temp then you were planning to, and no matter what you do your efficiency will take a **** on you.. That's just my experience

I've just tried an american ale (1056) and an Irish red (1084) 4 different ways with one batch. I dumped one of each seperate, one of each in together after starter, and one of each before starter.. It was a twelve gallon batch that i split up into 4- 3 gallon carboys.. It was a pain in the...

Remember remember the 5th of november

I'm a little confused...Are you brewing beer for your horse???I'm not one to judge but that's pretty fuct up. If your gonna get a horse drunk...At least brew him good beer and not the cheap ****.

Just wondering how many kegs everybody can force carb off of a 10 pound co2 tank... It seems like i might have a leak but i can't find it...I'm force carbing [2]-1/4 sankey barrels( 7.75 gallons) and I'm already down to 500 psi...I started out at around 800 psi at 80 degrees and now I'm at 500...

Harvest yeast

I'd say that if you can brew 15.5 gallons go for it...I just got a hold of a few 1/4 barrels (7.75) sankeys and are going to fill them wthin the next couple of days.. They weren't that much of a pain in the ass to clean.. I just took the tops off pulled out the dip tubes and soaked for 2 days...

Thanks... i never thought of that
