Hello everyone, I am sending my beer into my first comp next month. I have a question for you all. I keg, I will be filling bottles off the keg. How long is too old to send a beer? I know it's going to depend on the style of beer. I am going to be sending in a Kolsch and possibly an APA. The...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you want more hop flavor, you want to add more hops at about 15-0 min in the boil. If you want more hop aroma you will dry hop. I know you get a little bit of hop flavor from dry hopping but most of the hop flavor comes in the boil.

The only reason I think folks might decant is to reduce the amount of "beer" into the certain style of wort. I personally decant. I just don't want my "Extra light DME" beer in my amber ale or lager. It's more about getting the most out of the yeast cake.

This is a must for me as well.

Hey Bobby, I was just looking at your site for new stuff and noticed these false bottoms for BIABers. If I have a keggle, which size would I need?

Okay, thanks to you, HBT members, I tired something new with my fermentation/kegging process. Usually if I'm making a Pale Ale or IPA or something I want to be super clear, I will use a Whirlflock tablet in the boil if I can remember. This time I tried a few new things after a lot of reading...

How do you go about doing your ten gallon batches in the keggle paperairplane? Do you do them BIAB? Sorry to steal the thread.

I used to do the same thing (buy water from the grocery store). Then I bought a PH test kit to see where my water sat, and it looks good PH wise. The flavor of it is good too. Now I just run it through a RV water filter (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006IX87S/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20) just...

The 500ml slurry was decanted! I figured it was more about making sure there was enough food for the yeast! Thanks for the responses! It puts my mind to ease.

Hi all, I've been brewing for a while now, but have a question that I've been arguing with myself over for the past few brews. Say I need a 1.5 liter yeast starter, should I be putting in 1.5 liters of wort WITHOUT yeast, or should my final volume be 1.5 liters including yeast? For...

Im in! Thanks!

Awesome!

+1 on the Stirstarter! Lifetime warranty as well.

I have not, but it sounds great! Give it a shot!

Sweet! Count me in, please!

Sorry to bring up an old thread CBMbrewer, but I see that you're in C'ville! Are you part of the brew club?

I did .8 of a jalapeno during the boil and supposed to add about .2 of one in secondary according to Beersmith. I'm not to worried about the hops, I didn't want it to be hop forward anyways.

So I have about 10-15 all grain batches under my belt and wanted to start experimenting with different flavors. Two days ago, I made a 1 gallon test batch of a jalapeno wheat beer. the recipe calls for 1# 2-row, 12.8ozs wheat, and 1.6ozs Munich. For some reason, I purchased 1# each of the...

Hey Guys, I am a LONG time lurker, but don't post too much. I wanted to share the birth of my son (co-brewer), Isaac. I also attached a photo of my current co-brewer, my two year old daughter holding her new brother. Hope you enjoy!
