I saw these guys in KC a couple months ago. Excellent band, and this album is great.

A scotch ale or wee heavy should never have crystal malt. The caramel flavors you're looking for come from an extended boil. Consider replacing all your crystal with additional base malt and 2-3% roasted barley, and do a 3 hour boil. I promise you this will get you where you want to be.

I've never contributed to this thread, and in my 6 years of brewing, I've broken 3. 2305

Yeah, you gotta tell it what you're adding, then it will tell you what you have. I actually use it in conjunction with Beersmith. I use the water profile tool there to figure out my additions, then use Brewers friend to get a more accurate pH prediction, and figure how much/if I need acid.

My first 12 beers were extract, 11 were kits. One I purchased the ingredients to brew someone else's recipe. When I went all grain, I designed all my own. Had some hits, quite a few misses early on. 150 batches later, I have few misses. But, definitely no kits - no reason to. I buy and keep 2...

You could use the brewers friend website on your phone. It's not perfect, but should get you close enough. I find that I routinely hit lower than it predicts, so I adjust for that. YMMV.

That Amorphis album is fantastic, front to back. But they rarely disappoint.

If you're gonna add more yeast, I'd just add another dry pack. Dont make a starter with it - dry yeast is better off without it. As was said by another poster, dry yeast doesnt need aeration.

Kegged 5 gallons of doppelbock and brewed 5 gallons of Scottish light today. Tomorrow, I'm kegging 10 gallons of brown ale and brewing 10 gallons of APA.

If I was shooting for a lighter beer, with a gravity that low with minimal corn flavor, I'd probably ditch the corn altogether, use 30-40% flaked rice and six row. Mash at 148 for 90. Six row has a more grainy flavor than 2 row, but it has a higher diastatic power, meaning it can convert a...

I'm a huge Clutch fan. A little disappointed with the new album. It may grow on me with repeated spins, but as of now, the previous two releases are so much better. But, even still, its miles better than Strange Cousins.

Considering IPA represents approximately 50% of all craft beer sold, I'd say it would be pretty smart to have 2 or 3 on tap. Maybe a "flagship" IPA, and a couple that rotate. Beyond that, papz has the right idea - something dark for the IPA haters, and something really easy drinking. I'd also...

Start with clamps. Check/replace dip tube o ring. Make sure keg liquid post is tight. Take apart quick connect and clean. May have to replace it if none of the above work.

Brewing 10 gallons of American brown. Gotta get the fall beers ready!

Sounds good to me. I've used kveik in 2 NEIPAs, both of which were very tasty.

Also, for future reference, you really need to minimize headspace more in secondary. As little air as possible.

Definitely a pellicle. Curious - did you freeze your fruit first?
