    Christmas-esque Stout adding fermentables?

    Mashed at 152. And yea I'll take your advice and skip the mint that might just end up being a distraction rather than contributor, first attempt at a spiced beer so simple does sound better. Molasses it is then, 3/4 of a lb sounds pretty reasonable, looks like it'll take me just past the 5%...

    Christmas-esque Stout adding fermentables?

    Brewed a dark and roasty stout on sunday that's fermenting strongly. Used a lot of chocolate rye and some roasted barley so this will be a black one that I'll let sit until the winter. I was thinking of kicking up the fermentable sugar a little as abv will probably be low, looking for some...

    Opinions on fermentation/dry hop setup

    Opinions on fermentation/dry hop setup

    I'll be brewing what I feel is my first true batch this Saturday (not counting Mr. Beer for much). The recipe is for a Rye IPA and I'll be dry hopping 2 oz of pellets during secondary fermentation. I have 1 glass carboy and 1 bottling bucket from a True Brew kit available for fermentors. For...
