I used cacao nibs for a chocolate flavor. 2 oz for the last 15 min boil and 2 oz in secondary. Not a hint of chocolate. More like coffee I was very dissappointed. I even tried boiling water and adding cocoa powder(pretty bitter) that didn't help much either. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone...

Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get some advice on electric brewing. I have been doing 5G batches with my cooler setup, but would like to start brewing bigger batches. I don't want to mess around with propane or natural gas and have read that in the long run electric is the way to go...

Thanks. I just want to head down a road with one type of keg and not mess around with parts for both. I can get pin lock kegs for $40 used and can't seem to find any ball lock used. Brand new they are like $109 by me, and I want to beef up the amount I brew and buy 1/2 dozen but don't want to...

Hey everyone I want to start kegging. What is better ball or pin? Can you use both on the same CO2 system? I understand that pin are old school kegs, I want to buy some used but don't want to buy something I will regret. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Thanks for the help. My mash paddle is plastic, so no worry about keeping it sanitized. I think I might just repitch another vial for this beer. I haven't had trouble hitting targets with my past ale batches. But this one seems to have given up on me. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hey everyone, I have a question…I made a winter ale on Feb. 15, and put it in the fermentor at 67 degrees, and I saw about 3 days of action after about 24 hrs. My OG was 1.055 and my target FG is about 1.019 ish. I didn't see any action after those 3 days, and so I measured on Feb. 25 and it...

Great! Thanks for the advice. I will give it a shot and see where I'm at in a week.

Hey I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with the White Labs English Ale WLP002 yeast? I pitched it in a Winter Ale wort at 68 degrees. There was no action for 24 hours then it went crazy for 3-4 days and then pretty much stopped. The ferm temp have varied between 65-70 degrees. My OG...

Thanks, I've never used them, so I thought after maybe I should have roasted them for a better flavour? I am going to add some to my secondary but I don't know where this coffee taste is coming from. Nothing in my grain bill would be close except for the chocolate malt I used, and I have used...

Hey there, I was just wondering if anyone has had luck with cacao nibs in their boil? I used 2 oz in the last 15 min of my winters ale boil, (5Gallons) and after 9 days of fermenting my beer does not taste or smell like any kind of chocolate. I am going to add more to secondary, but my beer...
