I did just under 4 oz. Beersmith recommended 3.61. Came out great

4 days in and a reading of 1.008. The Nottingham works fast

Brewed this yesterday afternoon. Bumped my grains up 15 % to make up for lower efficiency. Came out with OG of 1.056. Woke up this morning to see a nice active krausen. This is going to be a good one :)

I just put into secondary and did first dry hop. My OG was 1.078 but 1.013 now. Tastes a tad bitter. Hoping it will sweeten.

Almost 4 weeks bottled and even better than last week. Last week was good but had a bitter after taste. That has mellowed and it's one tasty beer now.

Brewed this yesterday. I had bought the Thomas Amber malt in two 1 pound bags and made the boneheaded mistake of crushing and adding all of it. I also came up a tad short on the OG with 1.078. We'll see how it turns out

Bottled today. FG of 1.010. 6 ABV. Very tart. I stuck the outlet end of my siphon hose into a bazooka strainer to keep the seeds out of the bottling bucket. Worked like a charm.

[/IMG] Bottled yesterday. Loving the color

Just threw this in secondary with 2 pounds of homegrown frozen black raspberries (not blackberries. Huge difference) and 1 pound of homegrown frozen red's. I did an all grain. It tasted nutty and nice before I added the fruit. The black raz really gave it color. Cant wait to taste it when...

I'm in the 6th day of primary with a Vienna Lager. Yeast is Saflager 34/70. Terminal target is 1.015 OG was 1.06. Reading today was 1.022 I'm planning on starting rest today. There is however still krausen cover. Should I wait?

I've heard varying opinions. 1) Start rest when at 75% of FG 2) Start rest after 21 days in primary 3) Start rest when at FG. Thoughts?

I would like a wee bit maltier than the typical German Pilsner

So I would like to try to mash using the 1 quart per pound of grain rule. Can anyone give me a mash temperature schedule for the Vienna?

Ok thanks. I would like to mash the Vienna so I'll look into the process.

Ok thanks. My other brews have all been partial like this one( Grains and extract). I had actually bought an extra bag of Pilsen Light DME to raise the gravity anyway.

Hi all, I'm a newb and have had success with stout, IPA and Porter. Now I have this fairly simple recipe for lager and I was wondering what the more experienced homebrewers would add or change to make it better. https://beerbrew.com/downloads/Recipes/LoudmouthLager.pdf I'm using 2 packets of...

Hi all, I will be brewing a Rogue Mocha Porter knockoff with WLP051 next week and have ordered a stirplate. The youtube video I saw showed the guy boiling and cooling 2 cups water to 1/2 cup DME before adding the yeast. Do you folks recommend doing it this way? If so, would you subtract the...
