Not mine, but I did buy the kettle: http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/for/2882443927.html

My suggestions, though I am new too 1) a nice lemon flavor can be done with 2 lemons, peeled into long strips (skin, no white pith) 2) not sure how orange and lemon would play together

Agreed, I dropped the temp to 75 and will run it down to 68 in a day or so.

Welcome.... I used to live in Sheboygan!

I am on my 3rd one....in two months of brewing.

Thanks for the ramp down schedule. I appreciate it, and you are right the beer currently looks like orange mud.

Nope, it is a saison strain which should be fermented hot, up to 90*. http://www.wyeastlab.com/PC3q2008.cfm

Sure, It is rather simple; 6 # of Pilsen dme, 1oz of hops, pitched with wyeast 3726 (saison strain). It was put into fermentation on Saturday.

I have a beer in a 82* water bath, and my sg is 1.012. I think it is getting close to finishing but then what? I want it to clear a bit and and some ginger and lemon flavoring. Do I leave it in the hot water bath, or do I pull it out and let it sit in my 62* basement?

I have a beer hot fermenting (80 degrees) using 6# Pilsen dme, 1oz of hops, and wyeast 3726. It has been in a tub since Saturday in a hot water bath and I had really active fermentation or three days, but now there is no activity coming out of the airlock. I know, I know take a gravity...

I have it in bottles now, and I went the partial mash route. I found it quite hoppy a week ago, but yesterday when I bottled it I thought it was great. I did not place all five beans in secondary; I soaked them in a bit of vodka and added half the vodka a week ago. We tasted it yesterday and it...

Thanks, it looks quite nice! My brew partner and I are looking to go to all grain, but we will stick to five gallon batches. We still need a burner and a bigger kettle...tempting...especially since you are pretty local.

Can you provide any pics? How big of a grain bill can you have in a 5 gallon cooler?

I have a beer in fermentation, I used the following in preparing the wort. 6# dme, Pilsen style 1oz of amarillo hops 1oz of ginger I pitched in the low 70s with wyeast 3726. I placed the carboy in the hot water bath because this strain likes heat. 24 hours in i noticed I had a thin...

What about peeling the skin, noth the pith, and soaking that in vodka for a few days. Then add the lemon vodka to the carbon after primary fermentation is done? I did this with vanilla beans with good results.

Well, we brewed yesterday. Everything went fine, and we used the wyeast 3726 and the carboy is sitting in a hot water bath at 80 degrees. Fermentation started 10 hours post brewing.

I was thinking of using some of my wyeast 3726 farmhouse ale. It is a saison strain, but it does ferment well in lower temps. We may also decide to bump the fermentation temp using a water bath and an aquarium heater. I thought the spicy fermentation temps may play nicely with the spiciness of...

Hi guys, Let me know what you think: 5# of Pilsen DME Specialty Grains:20 minute steep. .5# Honey malt .5# Belgium biscuit .5oz of glacier hops 60 minutes .5oz of glacier 10 minutes 1 oz of crushed/sliced ginger at the last 5 minutes of boil The zest of three lemons soaked in...

Ugh, I live in Germantown but I am not ready for something like this yet.

I got a good banana flavor when I fermented at 64.
