Mine turned out good, and it's not just me, it's everyone that's tried it. Clean up front, clean on the back end, good in the middle. A very pleasing pale ale, 10 lbs 2 row 1/2 Honey malt .5 oz apollo @60 1 oz Crystal hops @ 5 1 oz Crystal hops @ 0 .5 oz Apollo @ 0 5 day DH with 1 oz...

Another one for Ritebrew. I am lucky enough to be in their 1 day shipping area for the spee-dee shipping service. so my last order of 25 lbs of grain, hops, some extra's like gypsum, yeast nutrient, 5 $1.00 airlocks, and 2 packs of liquid yeast (with ice packs in a foil insulated pouch) was...

My first thought would to limit their choices down a few, and double down on some. I'd do 40L of Lager 40L of pale ale, maybe 2 different ones. Ditch the porter AND the belgium 20L of pineapple hefe since it's the wifes favorite That's 100L of beer, 25 gallons for 40 people, that's 250 beers...

I don't always rehydrate. I dont really notice a difference when I do. I double pitch over 1.060.. My thoughts are if you are considerimg hydrating then maybe start looking at starters instead...

Oh, I agree. 2 oz dh is probably perfect for a pale ale using cascade. Might want to use less I am a hop head, mine was more of an experiment to make a hop forward IPA, but my hop schedule would not really apply in this situation. (I used 8 oz in my 2 step dry hop, 8 oz of cascade in the...

Sorry I missed this thread earlier. I made an ale with mostly cascade recently. I ended up using apollo, 1/2 oz at 60, then 20/10/5/0 for cascade, but added the other oz of apollo I had left in at 0 since it might of added a little bit of floral to the aroma, but nothing to the taste. The way...

wow, good question: Bells - Hopslam Surly - Abrasive Ale Boulevard - Double Wide IPA <---- the reason for this is it's very consistent, always enjoyable, and never any complaints.

The problem is that he probably did not know it was even stolen. I would call the number, see what they say. They are a current company, that is a current # and website, and a current logo, so it's not that old of a keg. I would call the number and see what they say. it's the right thing...

Brewing a Bells Hopslam clone AND a Karben4 Fantasy Factory clone

There is a thread on this yeast. I have driven it below 1.020 once, but 1.020 seems to be average. Post up the Grainbill, the experts on here will be able to help better. Are you using a hydrometer or refractor to get that 1.026 number.

I'd taste it. If it had an S lock, I would not touch it, but being a 3 piece, maybe it was enough to keep everything out. that said, it's going to taste horrible. You are going to end up dumping it, there is no real reason to keep it, but still neat to take a taste before dumping.

My opinion on these has already been said, I am very happy with my intertap faucet. answering the CO2 to run the cleaner through, with a pump you can let it recirc all day long. with co2 you run the keg, stop, refil keg, go again. I put my pbw in a kettle, remove the liquid lines from the...

Excellent decision/recommendation to pull out the Crystal. I use carapills, it may not help, but it will not hurt (in the same % range as the OP recipe or less, like .5 lbs to 13 lbs... Maybe add some flaked wheat, like 3-5% Cashmere would be a great hop to pair with huell melon in my...

Hops direct for sure, but also check your regular go to. I ordered 1 lb of cascade and 1 lb of galena for about $10 each.

First really good beer, probably 4 batches. But, that is nothing, the best beer I have made was my own recipe, probably 35 batches in. I made a stout that was really go as well about 20 batches in, but I am not a fan of stouts, but it was good. Now let's talk about all the mediocre beers I...

Here is what I did with mine.

I would use them in the mash, and I would be fairly certain that the preservatives in a single box will not have an effect on yeast health for a 5 gallon batch. that said, i am fairly certain that you will not even get a taste of applie jacks if used in the mash. or the boil. but still funny.

all of the above is good advice. The ones I follow are cut the end off of 3 piece airlocks, (it will fill with yeast and pop off, or pop the lid off). and the tube on the 3 way is good (or if you only have an s type, just cut off the end) I never used to use a blowoff tube, 300+ gallons (5...

okay, heck yeah. My friend and I have experimented with this. And, with good results. actually, very good results. you have to plan ahead, and, infuse vodka. The oils work better than boiling vodka and adding hops. and when put in a .75 oz shot glass, the results are actually pretty...

I didn't know the date (meant to look it up). Excellent.
