I brew Kimchee. lol Eric

You will not be dissapointed in the results! Drinking one now. Eric

Kegged 11 gallons today and put new batch in on the yeast cake from previous batch. Happy Irish spring! lol Eric

+2 on us-05 for dry yeast. I have a batch in the fermenter now, 1 week in. Eric

So the update on the recipe variation is a mixed bag. The ginger in the raw honey really came through in a positive way. Pitching on a yeast cake from a hoppy ale gave it a off flavor on the finish. I will repeat the variation using new yeast and see if it cleans up the back end. Eric

How long to ferment? That is a loaded question around here, lol. Common thinking is that fermentation may be finished after 7 days or less, but that clearing and other things are going on as time goes on. 2weeks and done seems to be the mantra. Eric

Kegged it today. Finished at 5.9%. Two more weeks will tell the tale. Pitching on the old yeast cake from the previous batch worked fine. Eric

Cmon man! You have to spill the beer. What did you try that was a epic no go? My hop slam was a no go, and I fessed up. Eric

Brewed this again today. Tweaked the ingredients, due to stocking issues at more beer PA warehouse 10 gallon batch. 15# xtra pale viking 3# carrafoam 2# melanoiden 1# raw honey 1# raw honey with ginger Pitched on top of yeast cake from Yoopers house pale ale I kegged yesterday. Fermenting at...

Drill or siphon is a personal choice. My experiance is with drilling, and it matters where you drill the hole. I believe that the pre drilled pots are drilled to low. After I bought my fermenter I guessed how much yeast cake I would get per 11 gallon batch. I drilled my hole above that mark...

Late to the party, but the lazy mans way to shiny copper is to immerse the entire worm in star-san. Discovered this by accident when I was too anal about sanitation. Now chiller sits on table till next use. Dropping it into wort at flame out is my evolved method. Hope this helps Eric

^^^^ This notion was what prompted my curiosity. Eric

That is good info. Now I am really curious, 2 weeks to wait lol. The beer is a 10 gallon ale with 8oz of citra. It is on my house list so any change should be noticeable. Eric

Hops that is. I always caged since I started brewing. First with muslin, then with a ss hop basket. With both those methods I noticed the amount of the hydration of the hop pellets and the density in the cage. This last brew day I went free range. Other than the hot break being different...

I have no idea how many people built the coleman cooler mash tun prior to me. I would bet I am not the only one to build the manifold in the bottom out of cpvc, instead of copper. I am into my third year of 10 gallons a month production. I am fine, my buddies are fine. Relax and brew on, If...

Leaves are starting to turn here, so the EF clone is getting brewed next weekend. Eric

You are missing a set of legs, or the bolt to companion to that sink that would be on the right side. Eric

I slammed this recipe with 8oz of cascade as an experiment. It was a fail. Do not repeat. Eric

The keg I am drinking now is the same as above. Including the mason jar, lol. Deep ruby red and smooth enough to be dangerous. Eric

Auto correct for texting? Guilty as changed. Talk to text? Still guilty. Eric
