me and my buddy came up with a cool concoction for a beer. we made it tonight, its a chocolate pomegranite porter, or as i have named it, chocogranite porter. haha its my own recipe so we shall see how it turns out, its about a 6 gallon batch, and we hit 76% efficiency on this brew, which is...

pale ale is now also bottled:ban: tried a bottle of the stout tonight looks extremely good. tastes fairly good for only being in the bottles for 2 days so far.

i have pretty much the same setup as you , but im using the 5 gallon for the HLT and the larger cooler for the MLT, and i used cpvc for the collection manifold in my MLT but its pretty much the same.

will do. as our next beer is gonna be an experiment but i believe its going to turn out good.

well bottled the cherry oatmeal stout. and i forgot to taste it haha. but the pale ale is extremely good. :ban: gonna bottle that either tomorrow or sunday.

my girlfriend also gave me an early christmas present, the minibrew 6.5 gallon plastic conical fermenter:rockin: so im pretty excited to see how that works

bottling my cherry oatmeal stout tonight:rockin: ill let you know how it tastes. and my pale ale is looking like its close to being done fermenting as well. at about 1.011-1.012 right now gonna let it go a few more days probably.:ban:

thanks for the input! i didnt put that many cherries in it was a little less than a pound so ill let it ferment until this weekend sometime and bottle it up since i just want a little hint of cherry in this stout nothing too strong like sam adams cherry wheat.

my fermentation is just about done. im gonna add them tonight i believe. plus i was sure to buy cherries that were just in water, nothing added.

thanks for the link for that site but i already figured around 2.7 oz of priming sugar. just worried about the extra sugars from the cherries. plus i think ill get a little more cherry flavor in the beer if i add them now and let it ferment a few more days. cool another doylestownian! haha

yeah thats what im worried about. although i may mash some cherries up and boil them in about a cup or 2 of water then cool it down and add it to the fermenter tonight that way i dont have to worry about sugar volumes to add at bottling time.

took a gravity reading and tried the cherry oatmeal stout yesterday. its at about 1.018 right now so ill let it go a few more days before bottling. but it needs a tad more cherry in it so i think im gonna add a little more when i add the priming sugar before bottling. but it tastes VERY good so...

hey whats happenin. and brew on i shall! just put together a little recipe for a pale ale tonight and brewed it so now i have 2 in primary's. gonna take a gravity reading on the stout tomorrow see where shes at. and see if theres enough cherry flavor for my liking. :ban:

thanks guys! yeah idk after researching a bit and seeing how everyone built their setups i decided id give it a shot. where in doylestown do you live?

hey everyone, after reading up all over the site for months i decided to join. i have my first beer fermenting as we speak. it is (hopefully) haha going to be a cherry oatmeal stout. i came up with my own recipe and decided to try it. this is an all grain brew. i decided to skip the whole...
