Hi there. I just went to my local store (Canadian Tire) and they had 2 left on sale - from $99.99 downl to $24.99 - one of the boxes was opened, and missing the lid. I got both and am trying right now to see how this thing heats up. So far, it looks like average. I am heating 20liters (about...

I used a WhiteLabs yeast and made a starter, which turned out pretty good. When pitched, the action started pretty fast, and it was bubbling like I have never seen before. So the starter method explained at the begining of this post was just great! Thanks a lot for sharing! Now this brings...

Great - I was looking for some better way to clean my carboys! Definetely count me in. Thanks.

Actually, you are right. Beersmith will drop the IBU at 20 if I just put .5 oz of Pearle... Interesting to know! I am just starting with BeerSmith, so I still have a lot to learn. I did not even think about checking what the calculated result would be! Thanks for the tip.

Thanks a lot ArcaneXor for these explanations. This is great information to keep. I like beermaking so much! It reminds me of my chemestry class, but the end result is Way better :D Seriously, it is chemestry, which makes it even better and more enjoyable!

Thanks all of you for your suggestions! I will go bit by bit, starting with the amount of hops I put in at 70 minutes - I might bring it down to 60 minutes actually...will it change much? Is it worth it? I indeed don't want to change the overall taste of the beer, just get the bitterness...

Thanks ArcaneXor for the quick reply. I just want to understand the "wording" properly - my first language isn't English, and sometimes, the therms used are a bit confusing for me. So, if you don't mind, what do you mean by bursting and first wort hopping? From what i understand from my...

Hi all. I have brewed my 2 first AG beers a couple months ago. The first one I did was In December 2010. It was Sierra Nevada clone (called Nierra Sevada - I believe I found the recipe in these forums). It is an American Pale Ale, which had 32.5 IBU in the end. The brewing seem to have...

Hi there. I know this post is pretty old, but maybe someone will still be looking at it and be able to give me an answer. What exactly is the difference between Flavor and Aroma? Thanks!

Fred. I started looking seriously into your receipe. Unfortunately, since I am just a newbie, and some of the therms are still somewhat vague, I would like to ask your help on translating this into something I can understand. If by any chance you speak French, it would ease things for me :)...

Hi Fred. I will surely try this one as I love UniBroue's beer, and I am from Quebec too! I did not start yet with AG, but I was looking for a beer in these notes. I actually looked for a belgian Tripel like la Chouffe, but UniBroue is also in my prefered beers. It might take a couple months...
