All good advise. I got the inspiration for the stout after eating a moon pie. I choose the Rye/Wheat to try and stay in the lower 30's SRM but that wouldn't make sense if it didn't taste right. All points here make sense and I'll go with regular chocolate malt with munton's extra light and 80L...

I’m trying to create my own recipes and wanted to make sure things gelled before I went off and just tried it. How does the sound for a Cream Stout? My calculator says it will give me 9.22%/vol and IBU 50. Bavarian Wheat DME 6# Lactos 1.5# Crystal 20L 1.50# Flaked Maize 1# Weyer...

That's what I did my first time. I stuck a small piece of 2x4 under the side with the spigot during the whole fermentation. By the time I was ready to bottle the trub had all rested in the back corner away from the spigot. The hardest part was priming. How do you evenly mix the sugar? Carefully...

Yeah, good stuff to know. I wasn't convinced on the stout so I let it sit but only or a total of two weeks. I really wanted to do four-five weeks in the bottle with it but after two weeks me and a friend tried it and the next thing I knew it was all gone save a couple of refugees. I think this...

Does beer just ferment in my house faster than others? I've kept the room at a steady 67 degrees within my yeast's calculations and everything I've made has reached target gravity within my first check of 7 days. I expected at least two weeks especially on my high gravity stout but no, sure...

Hey all. I’m about 1.5 weeks away from having my second batch ready to drink. Which is good because out of my entire first 5 gal batch I drank exactly 500ML of it before my friends devoured the rest. I saved 2 12 oz to sit in the closet to see how much aging does. Anyway, I just wanted to say...

I’m debating on when it is a good time to transfer to secondary. Going to make soda in the bottling bucket then wine in the primary next weekend so I’d like to open up some space. I was going to transfer tomorrow (10 days) but I’m still getting good bubbles out of the airlock; about 2-3 every...

O today's bottling day. After throwing the sugar water in I start bottling. After 12 bottled I realize the store sold me 2 cases of wine bottles. I don't have any corks so I immediately sanitized the secondary (plastic bucket) and got everything back in there. I won't be able to get...

Wow, a lot of great advice here. Yeah, I didn’t plan on brewing beer to save money, I knew it would cost, especially at first. But I don’t even drink beer or any alcohol really so I’m already spending more than I usually would. I’m just borderline aspergers (cause by low...

Hi all, This is my first post but this site has been instrumental in my first brew. The advice on these forms has taught me technique, etiquette, and has quelled a lot of my fears over the last couple of weeks. I have an initial question to ask though. I’ve been going to my local beer supply...
