To up the body/mouthfeel you will need 1-3 oz of Malto Dextrin depending on how thin/watery it tastes.

When the sugar-water reduces (in volume) the sugar will burn slightly. Brown sugar contains molasses. It produces the caramel flavor.

Growing up I always translated that into READING IS FUN...AND...MENTAL. :rolleyes: I've already finished 2 books this week. OK, they were westerns, but they were books and I did read them. One of them only took a few hours. Now I'm over halfway through a 3rd one. LOL! ME? KIDS? Just an...

TWINS! :rock:

It's always good when someone else checks theirs to verify.

For me, it's a 6 of 1, half dozen of the other choice. Bottling too early always causes issues. However, contrary to what many other brewers do, I secondary my HWs. Why? The more yeast that falls out the cleaner tasting the beer. As for needing yeast for bottling, I rack just enough yeast...

My sister lives in FL. She told me the same thing the other day...I told her I woke up to -1F with a high of 2F for the day. :eek: Take it indoors for a couple of days before taking a reading. I like US-05 too. Always had a winner-winner beer with it. In fact, it's replaced Notty as my...

Amen, Brother! It's a good feeling to know we can buy what we want when we want. :yes: I just got done downloading my 1099-INT forms from the Credit Union about 3 minutes ago. It's getting closer to the time I'll be writing another couple of checks to the IRS. Do you know why it's always...

.5 gal per 30 minutes for me.

I can see it being used that way for some people.

I clean ferment too. I run the wort from the brew pot through a nylon net on the way to the primary. It also aerates the wort at the same time. The net (held on by plastic clip clothes pins) collects the hops, Irish Moss and Hot/Cold Break material. I wrote it up from the POV for the people...

Yes, it is water tight. It was the first thing I tried before washing it. The sealing "disk" is attached to the handle. There is a small ramp on the underside of the sealing disk that pushes the disk up and makes a tight seal when closed (handle not pulled). It holds 4 cups. The testing I...

OK, I may not be the first one to recommend this...BUT... We've all used various methods and pieces of equipment to separate the dregs from the yeast during washing. I used 1 gal carboys (I call them "jugs") for a number of years, but always had to pay attention when racking sediment-free...

I've used a lot of US-05 lately. I like it better than Notty and it's cheaper. I don't want to get into advertising a product, but I've seen 500g bulk bags of Safale US-05 on eBay for $80 w/free shipping. (Rounded out math to make it easy) 500g / 10 (a pkt is 11g) = 50. 50 X $4 = $200...

The last Cream Ale I brewed came in at 6.9% ABV...

You're welcome. It was my pleasure. :rock:

Kind of like when Midwest Supplies and Northern Brewer sold out to Anheuser Busch... If you can't beat them...BUY THEM OUT.

You know you can help your pipes by flushing your yeast...:yes:
