Cranberry on left, raspberry in the middle, raspberry vodka on the right. Little less yield than I wanted. Windsor didn't do a very good job, 1.020 SG, didn't floc very well either. Hoping I can get it down to 1.015, if not, I'll pitch another yeast.

Oklahoma checking in. You can get a license for nothing to homebrew, but it's a dumb process to have to go through. There are some really good craft breweries in OK (Prairie, Coop, etc), but backwards-ass laws and a oligopolistic distributor network in Oklahoma make starting a micro brewery...

Local liquor store finally got Celebration in. Officially ready for the Thanksgiving/ Xmas now.

To those who are still following, I apologize for the marathon of updates. Maybe someone finds (or will find) my process helpful. After talking briefly with the LHBS (Learn to Brew in Moore, OK--highly recommend), I've decided to soak the raspberries in campden overnight, drain, then add to...

Not had any bottle bombs, but I think I had an infection in a Rogue I had a month or so ago. Encountered a gusher. Beer tasted fine, so not sure if it was infection but who knows.

Question to those who have used campden to sterilize the raspberries: Did you need to repitch yeast after adding berries? Will the berries absorb the campden and kill the yeast? Should I just say screw it and brett the whole batch and add berries in six months?

Not sure if it's the lighting, but your pumpkin brew has a great color to it. :mug:

Looks like yeast rafts/ floaties to me. You should be just fine.

Over a month in the bottles and it's still very hot. Alcohol is front and center. I'm going to wait until Thanksgiving to open another.

Well, due to time constrains, I haven't had the time to rack this into a secondary, nor do I think I'm going to. I have some krausen still floating on top, it's pretty "unsightly" for fermentation... but then again I think I'm the only person who cares about aesthetics during fermentation. I...

Delish. Chocolatey/ strong vanilla. Just very slightly funky. Prairie is putting out some stellar brews. My only regret is that it sold out in a couple hours.

Not sure if anyone still checks this thread but... This was by far one of the most violent fermentations I've ever had. It was already forming krausen about an hour after pitching (Winsdor), and continued to pump out krausen into the blowoff a solid 30 hours later. Kept it around 64F, too. I...

I'm nearing a month in the bottle this weekend. Barring any miracles this week, I still think it needs at least two-three more weeks, at least. I was going to enter this in a local competition, but I was uncomfortable with the way the beer was (or was not, mind you) losing its hotness from the...

I don't think I'll ever be impervious to yeast. Man, does it clean me out. Second only to coffee and caffeine.

Just brewed 2.5 gallons of this. I purposefully wanted the gravity higher 1.065 because I am going to rack 1 gallon off in a couple days onto berries and WLP650 + a couple dregs of various brett beers. I'll leave the remaining ~1.5 gallon to finish the primary of 14 days, then rack onto berries...

I've been tempted to do this, but at $10 a bomber (in Dallas, TX), I'm hesitant to add anything to Warlock because it's a great stout by itself.

A quick note. My significant other had O-Chem II with Morvant. Apparently he's very good illustrating concepts in O-Chem. Here's hoping it translates to this course.

Funky and fruity.

I looked up the course on OU's enrollment website and the course does not have any textbooks listed as required. In fact, the course isn't even listed for the purpose of the bookstore procuring a textbook. With open courses, the materials should be provided via the online teaching platform...

I wish I could justify it to my significant other to have 200 lbs of grain in our small apartment.
