Had to check my notes, edited my post above. 2.5 oz of Anise for 30 minutes (left in the boil). I would not do it in the mash tun. this is for a 5 gallon batch.

my licorice stout, 2.5 oz at 30 minutes, then STRAIN it out turned out perfect. you knew it was there, you knew what it was, but it was in no way overpowering. Strain it out, I used chips as well, and strained it out so none got in the fermenter, as it will continue to add flavor.

Brewers best kits are decent. A few are excellent (their imperial blonde is a great kit) northern brewer has good kits AIH has good kits Williams brewer has good kits Right now, since you are doing extract, it's good practice to pop out a few kits to get your process down, just figure out what...

No, it has not been given. pm me your address Did not see other people have done this until after it was brewed. I used different everything, and only 1 color. thinking now of doing 1 gallon of each color to compare. it's the same wort, golden promise and wheat (50/50) and .5 mL of...

All good advice above. I personally would not go with a 5 gallon mashtun, as that really does limit you if you want to go with a large grain bill. I use a cooler, brew bag and aliexpress stainless steel valve and weldless bulkhead (all in for under $100.00) + 8 gallon kettle (recommend a 10)...

nope, no green, shared two bottles and did not get a pic.. it's a bright yellow wheat color.

This Turned out very well. Tast tested by 10+ people and it was a very interesting beer. It's something special, that's for sure. The sour apple came through, it's almost like a sour beer. It's strong, and a decent summer slammer. Light and clear in color. I am shocked. now to dry and...

I was just given it. No idea about it except it's pretty good. Was given two bottles. So 1 left. Anyone local (near gurnee il) want to try it. Let me know quick via pm)

I have a nice light beer planned for this weekend. 10 lbs pale, .5 honey .5 crystal 60. Pair it with some citra and Idaho 7.

some Gose don't use hops.... just a thought.

I have brewed countless batches on my glass stove top. 7.5 gallons boiling in 42 minutes or less. clearly not super fast, but have to cut power down to 8.5 to keep a nice rolling boil.

You should not have it set up to measure the air temp, it should either be attached to your fermenter, or if using it as a kegerator, dipped in a bottle of water/alcohol, etc.

Maybe a little bit past its prime. But .. even when fresh it's nowhere as good as Capital breweries octoberfest... Makes no sense without the picture that did not attach. It was left hand brewing Oktoberfest..

I used a rib so there is almost no amperage going through my stc 1000 (inkbird version). The rib takes the the load, rated to 20 amps. (GFI on it is rated for 15)

pre 2011, I THINK in 2011 Well's & Young bought em, and I THINK they switched to cans. so somewhere between 2004 and 2011. I am not sure if they are just doing limited runs of bottles or not. which is possible.

I love that one Cavernhill, This was a test batch, so only 7 bottles. (I don't normally use plastic bottles, this was a first. 1 Liter bottles.)

Bottled. First time using these mr beer bottles (they were brand new from a kit that was bought 4 or 5 years ago)

Okay, Bottled, took a sample, did not even bother with a hydrometer. it tastes, well, it's interesting, skittle flavor did not really come through, I went Mr Beer on this one, since I used the ferementer from a mr beer, I have 7 1 liter mr beer bottles (and used 2 carb drops each). at...

This turned out really really good, and finished at 1.009. Highly recommend, I guess an Imperial NE Pale Ale? Bitterness builds, very pleased.
