After 1790 posts to this thread (read over a week's time) I'm convinced that this is a project for me. I'll try to keep a build log and let everyone know how my project progresses. Thanks to Fuzzy et al., for the great info. Dave

Is there any review of the "Beer Gun" that you guys have read? Thanks, Dave

Finally got around to putting this in the secondary tonight. It tastes AMAZING. Great mouthfeel and flavor already. Can't wait for a month or two. Dave

Hey eviltwinofjoni, I have a few ideas for you. 1st, to answer your question, http://www.countrywines.com/shopsite/store.htm has the bottles you're looking for. $11.50 for a 24 pack of 12 oz. bottles. They're a bit pricey there, but great service and great people...

So, The second All Grain went off much much better than the first. I stuck to the lessons learned from my first AG and had a blast. This batch was a modified Sam Adams Cream Stout. It used: - 8 lbs British Pale 2-row - 1 lbs American Wheat Malt - 12 oz. American Crystal 60 - 8 oz...

Beermaker, I have a few questions for you if you don't mind. 1. How long did this batch take for primary fermentation? 2. Did you bottle carbonate this batch? 3. If so, did you bottle this batch in champagne bottles or normal (12 or 16 oz) bottles? 4. Did the 10 month wait...

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to ask everyone's advice on this modified Sam Adams Cream Stout Recipe I'll be brewing on Tuesday (MUCH EARLIER than 6:00). 8 lbs British 2-row pale 1 lbs US Wheat Malt 10 oz US 60*L Crystal Malt 8 oz US Chocolate Malt 6 oz British Roasted Barley 4 oz Flaked Oats...

Yeah....I think "sucker for punishment" might be my middle name. Better check the records. =-)

How'd you guess? =-) I am by three years

Hey mmditter, The system I use is comprised of the following: 1 - 10 gallon orange rubbermaid cooler with 1/2 out (for Hot Liquor Tank) 1 - 10 gallon orange rubbermaid cooler with domed stainless steel false bottom screen and 1/2 out (for Mash Tun) 1 - 14 Gallon brew kettle from...

Hey All, I'm trying to figure out exactly how to find the grainbed if you mash with a volume closer to 2.0 quarts per pound? As some might recall, I had too much water in the mash for my first AG. And it looked like the water was 1" above the grainbed, but I was wrong. It there a...

Thanks for the wishes everyone. I also hope that this one turns out well. I just checked on it and it seems to be bubbling nicely at 68F. Djmd, I'm fermenting it with White Labs Abbey Ale Yeast. Sorry I missed your question. Thanks again, Dave

Well! It's done. Yeast has been pitched. I'll check and look for the airlock bubbles tomorrow. Let me "Tarantino" this day for everyone. I'm going to bed after this post at about 3:45am 1/30. I get up at 10:00am 1/29 and come onto the board to look for some words of wisdom and...

Hey All, I'm performing my first all grain today and wanted to thank everyone for their support and help. I'll be brewing a Karmeliet Tripel from Beer Captured. It calls for: 13 lbs. Belgian Pils 1 lbs Belgian Wheat Malt (which I forgot to buy and do not have) .5 lbs. Belgian Aromatic .25...

Sorry to hash up an old thread, 1. In the back of Beer Captured it states that Dextrin Malt "Balances body and flavor without adding color, aids in head retention". It also states that Malto-Dextrin "Adds body and mouthfeel. Does not ferment." What are the difference between Dextrine Malt...

drengel, Thanks for the insight into the cream stout recipes. This recipe does not call for lactose, but I will look into adding some for this modified recipe. Any suggestions as to how much? homebrewer_99, I completely forgot about the water modification chart in the back of the Beer...

Hey All, I've been modifying a few recipes (from Clone Brews and Beer Captured) in my spare time and have a couple questions regarding a Cream Stout. The cream stout in question is a Watney's Cream Stout. The grain schedule is for a 6.5 gallon boil, yielding 5.5 gallons of batch. Mash at...

captaineriv, Congrats on your first AG! Hopefully mine will turn out as well as yours did. I'm still reading, reading, reading...trying to absorb as much information as possible before I attempt anything. That's the great thing about this forum (and forums in general). The help, growth, and...
