You should be able to add the honey to the fermentor right now

13, 336 + 5g Rye'Saison =13, 341

You can add the dark grains really late in the mash (maybe with 10 min left) and it will cut down on the roastiness but keep all the color. Weyermann dehusked carafa II is a good choice for a dark late addition

Nice whitetail!

Your 4 hop combo sounds good In my experience, zero min additions don't add perceived bitterness the way some of the calculators seem to suggest. Honestly though, we never whirlpool but turn the heat off, throw the last hops in and chill down fast so whirlpooling may add some bitterness? (BTW...

I think we have answered the OP's question now but may have scared him off lol... Sugar dots can be used but are inaccurate, so is priming each bottle individually. It's best to use a Priming Calculator using the highest temp the beer reached between the end of fermentation and bottling and...

You may be totally bang on here and my assumption was from fermentation temp straight down to cold crash temps. My beer room never gets over 67-68f so 75f would never happen in my case. Not so sure 1 day is going to change the Co2 that much but not trying to be argumentative and my point was...

Just another thing... my friend would cold crash his whole batch before bottling and put that fridge temp into the calculator. His beer was always flat because that confuses the calculator and it will output way to low priming sugar. Make sure you use your average fermentation temp! Usually...

Use a priming calc if you wish like this one: http://www.brewunited.com/priming_sugar_calculator.php Put the approx temp during fermentation, the vol of beer to be primed and it will spit out the weight of sugar to add. I use dextrose (corn sugar) boiled in a small amount of water and add as a...

Yeah Parksville on Vancouver Island

Welcome from British Columbia

Never tried stevia but hear it has a distinctive taste. Sucralose (AKA splenda) is another option although I found it to have a chemical taste.

I also don't like sweet cider. Adding just enough sweetener to balance the acidity and bring some fruit flavour back is perfect and it still will taste dry

Not sure if there is still a lot of Co2 in the new wine, but if there is any, this will skew any PH reading. Ive read in winemaking, never to use the strips as they are inaccurate but always use a good meter.

Try 1/2 cheaper store bought juice and 1/2 more expensive cider type. Also if you have access to cheap/free apples there might be a place to get them pressed for a small fee. Here in BC there are places that make wine or beer for you (Ubrew) and these places usually offer this service. To...

Not sure if I would play with that anymore as you have added dry hops already. If it tasted good then maybe just let well enough alone? I always pitch 1.5 packs of dry or do a big starter for this big of a beer

This is really good... tastes like Bud

lol not sure what happened to this reply. The beer tastes about 65-69 IBU It's up to the brewer to change the quantity of hops based on AAU to get what IBU they want as different batches will have more or less. There is no way throwing hops in while chilling for 15min is going to give a bunch...
