Dont do it on this beer dude. Also, when it really comes down to it, you still have to bottle every single beer. Not necessarily that much easier or quicker than standard bottling. My take on it is its meant more to bottle a 12er or a couple growlers before you go to a party. The beers will...

What did you brew and what kind of yeast did you use? If its any kind of an ale, 72 is usually spot on.

dude there is a recipe section on this website, there are quite a few blue moon and fat tire clones located there.

couple friends of mine have done RIS and Barleywine. No need to add extra yeast. They might just take a long time to bottle condition, but you said you are gonna let them sit for a few months, so that should be fine. As well as you dont want under carbed bottles, you certainly DONT want...

Oh no no no. You dont 'pour it out' ! You need to siphon it gently without splashing into the other carboy. If you splash the beer too much while you transfer, you oxygenate it and that may produce some off flavors. Do you have a siphon? The auto siphon is easy to use and only about $12 at...

Also, dry hopping doesnt actually add any IBU, just flavor. Not sure where you got the recipe from, I've done Biermuncher's Clone 3 times and its fantastic. Done it one without the DH, and twice with. Its delicious either way. I like it better DH. Throw that oz in there and let it sit 6-7...

I dunno about corn syrup. but I know that you can get 1# of corn sugar (dextrose) at the home brew shop for a dollar or two. And lots of IPAs use a half pound or a pound of dextrose in their recipes for exactly that reason, to dry it out a bit.. I would think the corn syrup would leave a funky...

you want a 15 gal pot. Not a 10. Or do you mean you only and always do 5 gal batches? If you ever plan on doing a 10gal batch, you need the 15 gal... But either way $300 is ridiculous, especially for a 10gal. I got my 15 gal pot for $100 shipped, then the parts to install my own spigot...

I ordered 7 pounds of diff hops 6 months ago for like $100. Not even close to needing to order more.. I found a guy in town that sells 55 pound bags of Canadian 2 Row for freaking $24.81. I did an 11 gallon batch of Blonde yesterday and the only thing I needed from the brew shop was some...

just throw the yeast in there now dude

I cant find any! Anywhere! None of the owners of the local bars have any extra laying around, I havent seen any sitting out next to a garbage can in the alley in a while! Where can I get more of these things?! I have one that I use as a 10G primary and I love it. Its the greatest thing...

i am planning for a vienna lager soon. the simplicity of the recipes intrigues me. This one and Revvy's Vienna both look tasty.

i did a batch of this exactly as the recipe is posted but with Wyeast California Lager 2112 Fantastic!!! Very good. Gonna keep this in the rotation, great reviews from all my friends, even those who are die hard craft brew IPA drinkers.. Very nice drinkable beer.. and 3.9% @ 85% eff, its...

there is a recpie on this forum in the Stout section. Founders Breakfast Stout Clone. Its a fantastic beer, and a good friend of mine confirms the clone recipe is very close to the original. Anyways- they add 2oz of ground coffee at flameout, then 2oz of cold brewed coffee at...

I live exactly 4 blocks away. Its tons of fun to hang in there. The food is EXCELLENT. Very very good. The beers are ok. Not bad at all, slightly above average. I do enjoy drinking them.. I'm only a year into AG brewing, but I brew literally every weekend, and I keep learning and...

I'm going to do a batch this weekend or next with Wyeast 2112 California Lager. I have 2 smack packs sitting around becuase I bought them on accident and LHBS wouldnt take them back (damint). I have a feeling it will be tasty... :mug:

ah ha. i accidentally assumed Yooper was a guy when I first got here. so there I go putting my foot in my mouth again. and i get it. i get that the person is certified judge and all that good stuff and that why i put a lot of stock in their recipe. i didnt know who they were but i didnt...

Heck yea dude. I'm not concerned about a thread hi jack, just stating that I did research this *&%^ out of this before I brewed, then brewed and tasted, then confirmed with other beer snob friends all of whom consider IPA their favorite style. Damn close. I can tell you the Simcoe/ Amarillo...

Why cant I find a diagram or instructions about this jumper that you speak of? I sure could use it, being that the garage is about 55deg in the winter. I could really use a lightbulb in the chest freezer to keep my lovely IPAs warm enough while the yeasties do their thing..

looks better. I use Beersmith and I love it but I cant find Apollo hops either. wait a bit and maybe a few more people will chime in with their thoughts
