more hops. lots more hops. my barley wine recipe has 110 IBU. 9.5 oz of hops. the IBU range for the style is 50-100. also i'd just add the 1# of dextrose to the end of the boil. just let it go for 2-3 weeks. then measure gravity. if its still a little high, i guess you could add dextrose...

interesting that people are not trying the recipe but saying its wrong. again, i would not have posted if i didnt think it was very close. a few of my friends who also have accounts here at HBT confirm the thing is damn close. so here is the site i found the recipe from...

ok well i jumped the gun. now that it has been on gas for 9 days IT FREAKIN TASTES FANTASTIC the slight bite of the carbonation has covered up most of the 'fruit' taste i was describing. and i think bobby_m was closest- it may have just been the floral-ness of all the saaz at the end...

Thanks BM. Next time I'll subtract a # or two of 2 row, I normally get high eff with low grain bills. Thanks for being around dude. I've also done the Nierra Sevada 3 times and am looking forward to the Sterling, as well as this one a few more times, and my friend's SWMBO loves the Blonde...

Brewed 5gal of this one on 1/23. Kegged yesterday. 6 days after I pitched, it was already at 1.010. I used S-05 and I have an oxygenation aeration system which seemed to help a lot. I added an extra .25 of Centennial at 60. But I got 87% eff so OG was 1.055. I'm at like 5.3% ABV. It...

i do have an oxygenation system now. with the red bottle of O2. and i'll start the starter a little earlier next time, give it a good 5-6 days on the stirplate.. i think i could have made a bit of a bigger starter too. i just did 1 cup DME 4 cups water 2 vials WLP800. next time 1.5...

thanks for the reply I think i pitched the starter a little cold. maybe 49 or 50 deg. the whole thing fermented a little hot for a few days before I realzied the temp controller would have to be set at 48 in order to keep the temp of the primaries at 52. so it may have been 56ish for...

First lager. Tried to control every aspect. Temp controlled fermentation chamber. Cooled wort to 55 before pitching 55deg starter. Stirplate starter for 4 days prior to pitching... 4 weeks fermentation with no more than 3 deg temp differential in either direction. 3 day diacetyl rest...

i wouldnt have posted the recipe if it wasnt damn close. its real close. also, if you research it a little bit, Surly uses the same malt the Macallan uses to make their scotch. It is definitly NOT a SMaSH. the late hop additions of Amarillo and Simcoe are pretty much dead on. its the...

yes you can bottle it like beer. Ed Wort suggests 3/4 cup of priming sugar. I wouldnt do the apple juice primer without some research first, it might be too much sugar and you might get bottle bombs. it is german style dry cider. it is not supposed to taste like woodchuck, etc. its very...

whats wrong with 1.012? that a fine FG for a beer.. dude, let it sit two months if you can stand it. dont take readings, just let it sit.

there you go. with some delicious milk stout in there. that is a laser etch. they count it as a 1 color design. i had double sided glasses printed. each logo is 3 colors. to do 96 glasses 3 golors per side, it was going to be $1000. but the etching counts as 1 color. i liked the etch...

Thanks for the suggestion Ordered 96 etched glasses on a tuesday, and they showed up the follwing tuesday They did some minor artwork for me and had super fast turn around. $1.50 per glass! The shipping was a little high, but come on, it was 96 pint glasses, thats heavy! I highly...

i dont bottle much anymore at all. but two diff brews i did last summer that i bottled- but i noticed the 22s had more carbonation and tasted better quicker than the 12s.. a friend of mine suspected that there is more priming sugar in there so it gets carbed faster... but didnt Revvy just say...

oh you dont have to, it would just help the hops settle to the bottom of the fermenter. can you fit the primary into you fridge? its cold outside, can you leave the primary on the back porch/deck for an evening when you know its not going to drop below freezing? otherwise you can just rack...
