I bet that 002 would work out pretty good.

If you have the means, order a mill for yourself. "The barley crusher" works amazing. Or try some different online stores. Homebrewheaven.com has awesome products and ships pretty quick. Also, what temp have you been mashing and what are you using for a mash tun?

I did a stout with syrup last year cuz at bottling time i found that i had NO corn sugar!! I saw a bottle of syrup and said, "thats got sugar in it." I called it the breakfast stout. Tasted like buttery chocolate chip pancakes!!

Thats awesome!! but how do you let it age for a few years? I brewed a barleywine about 1 1/2 years ago and it was spoiled after a year. It was great for 6 months, then i let it sit for 6 more and it was foul, stinky and plain nasty...

I havnt, but that sounds pretty cool!

Im actually gonna try this with simcoe and citra in the same amounts and times as the recipe calls for

Im gonna brew a blackberry porter for winter time and my red session ale this weekend! This should be a fun saturday!!

I actually just used a 4oz bottle of raspberry extact from my LHBS in secondary. The vanilla beans and rasp together coming thru that chocolatey coffee is amazing!

I have a tasty chocolate raspberry stout and a beautiful spiced Christmas ale in the closet just waiting for December!!

I did a IIPA a few months ago that literally took almost 2 months to ferment down. I used a healthy 001 starter too. it was giving me a bubble every 8-10 seconds for about a month after the initial week off crazy blow off tube action! I just let it sit in the closet and forgot about it and...

I bottled this last thursday and seriously could not wait... So i chilled one and popped it a bit early. It was hardly carbonated at all but, oohhhhh baby!!! Im gonna have to brew 20+ gallons of this stuff to make it thru winter!!

Oh man!! I just did that a week ago and same thing! The whole house smelled amazing!!

This is exactly how i do it too. With my system, i have about 4 gallons of sparge water sitting between 172-178 degrees. I batch sparge so ill usually have some left in the mash tun but ill have collected 6.5 to 7 gallons pre boil. I hit around 80% efficiency according to the online calculators...

I used a wlp001 starter and a blow off tube. It was bubbling like crazy the next morning! It went down to 1.014 in 10 days

My mash held at 153-154. My FG was 1.018.

Ive used the sd super yeast a few times in ipa recipes and really like it! I bet it would go well with this brew. Im gonna brew this again this weekend cuz i know by Christmas my first batch will be long gone hahaha!!

I just bottled this the other day. Although i changed the recipe a bit, its still similar. I used american hops and wlp051 and decided to put raspberry extract in secondary instead of at bottling like alot of people do. It smelled and tasted sooooooo good! I cant wait for this one!

I use wlp001 in almost everything i brew.

So i am gonna try the no sparge method just because i never have and it seems kinda cool... Can anyone tell me why exactly this method brings out more malty character than a regular sparge brew?? Thanks!!

Ive been kegging for about a year now and forgot how annoying bottling is......... It'll be worth it when December rolls around!!
