ok ok, so even if it is at a higher ferment temp, let it sit for an extra week or two before kegging? i.e. my saison might have cleaned up some of the fusels and not give me such a headache if i let it sit a week longer in primary? i was very excited to try it, i did a 3 week primary. it was...

see now this is what i was interested in. i'm 30 years old and know what is and know how to cure a hangover. the whole 'homebrew doesnt give you hangovers' thing is a crock. dude drink eight 8% homebrews and tell me you dont have a hangover the next day.. the one beer that gives me the...

6 or 7 AG batches under my belt. They are all fantastic. But some of them with less ABV will cause slightly harder hangovers than the others with more ABV. So as I am ever learning about the AG process and fine tuning every aspect from getting a bigger mash paddle and stirring more to...

How about some Caravienne and Caramunich and Carapils Malt? Those are pretty standard in a lot of recipes and you dont even carry them. How can I clone Bell's Two Hearted without Carapils? How can I clone 3 Floyd's Gumballhead without Caravienne? How about Whirlfloc? Great big wooden or ss...

new collar - HomeBrewTalk Gallery here we go. nice to have a neighbor who is a woodworking student at the art institute who will help build a collar for nothing more than a burger and a few beers at the pub down the street. he even routed the edges of the collar to perfectly match the...

thanks for the reply. i followed the recipe exactly. except for that i was exactly drunk enuff while brewing to decide 'f*ck it' and throw in an ounce of 14.4% magnum at 90 instead of the amarillo. beersmith says 54 IBU. what was i thinking? the wort tasted 'creamy' and....well..... really...

absolutely not. star san is the best and will not hurt anything. dont even worry about trying to get the foam to dissapate. i believe i read on this site that the foam is actually fuel for yeast... you'll be fine :mug:

anyone? is 2# flaked corn too much? browsing the recipe section I notcied the cream ales use 2# for 5gal. a friend of mine thinks it might be a bit much. never used it before so want to give it a try. my place is hot too, so I need a yeast that can handle 75deg. i know amarillo isnt...

Bells Hopslam Recipe ::: Brew365 - Homebrewing Recipes and Articles 4# honey. i dont think you would get the same effect with corn sugar. hopslam is very syrupy and that must have something to do with 4# honey. I know honey is 95% fermentable, but come on, 4# in a 5gal batch? syrupy...

hmm interesting.. It is from the great Bobby_M's Overbrook Brewery website and his No Mash Out Double Batch Sparge technique that suggests the 180 deg sparge water temp. The exact batch of Saison I did two weeknds ago, I ended up with 82% efficiency, which I am certainly happy with. I...

Hey there 146 deg 90 min mash for a saison i am doing. Am I supposed to sparge with cooler water? or is 180 ok? I did the exact batch two weekends ago and racked to secondary today and it tasted fine. Just curious if you can fine tune with cooler sparge water is the mash temp is low...

Cool, thanks. I have been using a product called '256'. I buy it from Petedge.com. Its Lemon 256 or Spearmint 256 or Orange 256, whatever the smell of it may be. But i know it is super strong stuff, but it burns my nostrils when properly diluted until it has dried.. Bleach smells clean, but...
