As far as lime goes, I use the zest just as you would dry hopping. Squirt a little star San in it and dump it in. Ginger I have only used in the boil. Last 10-15 min. Normally if it's your first time using ginger, how ever much you think you need..use half. This goes from just enough to...

This thread sounds exactly like two things. This was everyone was saying about notty about 5-6-7 years ago This is what everyone (around here anyway) is saying about US 05 today

If your new and going to follow this thread, you might as well follow the "what's wrong with my beer" threads as well

Why not? You could ferment in an old hub cap if you wanted to.

Basic brewing did that. No clue what episode though.

Yes. Pitch on the whole cake Atleast once. It will help you address any problems with your blow off tube set up.

ive noticed that the right dose of 120L gives me that. but then add a little more and the prune/raisin starts. but just a little give a twizzler taste

unless your brewing for competition,, put in or use what every makes you happy. (I'd use them if I had them)

I get the feeling that when the hops drop out of this it will be a raisin bomb with both the 120 and Special b. I personally would drop one of them.

Yep. Bottling more and more again. 45 sounds about right once you get your system down.

This I totally agree with. I left a couple ESB bottles in a cooler in my garage one summer for about two months. (By mistake) when I finally got them back to the fridge they had that exact same taste or twang or something that the imported ones from the store have. It wasn't unpleasant. But...

The only reason I haven't is because the only square buckets I've see are cat litter ones. The fact that it's cat litter ain't the problem, it's the fact that the litter is constantly scratching like sand paper the inside of those buckets.

I for one are the other side of that spectrum and take it out when ever possible

Any software is going to need to know what your system does. It needs to know how adjust all of its measurements to accurately give you correct temps and volumes. It don't automatically know if you lose .5 gallons or .25 gallons in your tun. It don't know if you lose .5 or .25 gallons from...

Been using this for a year or two http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DWORE5A/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Before you get all weird, drink a Heinie out of this or out of a can. Totally different beer when not in the green bottle. Plus. Some of us actually like skunky beer.

If you steep that wheat in say,, a gallon of 154 degree water for say... 30-45 min you have just mashed it. Then maybe add another gallon or two of water and add that dme. Get it up to boil and add maybe a 1/2 ounce of those home grown hops.

Brewing wize I don't think I'd change anything. I'm still using the same eq that I have been for 20 years. But the two pieces of eq I would do right from the beginning would be a water filtration and my ferment chamber.

I do this all the time. I make a 3 gallon mild in the big fermenter. Rack that beer into mini keg and immediately rack the imperial stout wort onto the full cake. Mind you, this causes a nuclear powered fermentation to start almost instantly. Keep Carboy near floor drain for the first day.

My new favorite yeast is T-58. Kinda a mix of banana, Apple, cherryish all wrapped in one
