I'm planning on force kegging in a corny for 3 days with no shaking or rolling , what pressure should I put it on ? I've heard people say 30 and people goin with 15ish ?

Yeah there wasn't much for specialty grains but it had 11 lbs of extra light dme and a lbs of cane and a lbs of crystal sugar

I agree with HopSpunge ... Which has me worried about my latest batch , it's a 5 gallon partial mash clone of Avery's Maharaja iipa I like .. It calls for 7.5 oz of hops and I've brewed 7 ipa's out of my 10 batches ... But this 1 calls for 3 oz of Columbus at the start of the boil !?!? Does this...

Dogfishhead 120 tastes like really syrupy pre- fermented wort I couldn't taste and hops , didn't even really taste like beer or even a barley wine , but some people like me actually paid 10+ dollars for a 12oz bottle of it ... I'm an huge ipa fan but I would definitely not recommend any of...

Yeah watch out when your sticking you head off in there to look at your yeasticals workin haha ... That sh@t hurts if you breath it in

And I also have a very small space heater that has a temp control switch on it , but it jus doesn't seem very safe and also put out way too much direct heat for my liking ... Is it just my particular heating pad that shuts itself off ? I don't remember them doing that back in the day ? I know...

I know this might sound strang coming from a Texas HomeBrewer , but what is the preferred DIY way to keep fermentation chamber at a 68-72 degrees ? ... I have a heating pad , but it seems to have a safety switch on it that won't let it stay on for more that an hour or so

Awesome thread by the way

1 thing that sucks ass about dme is that if your doing a big beer with Alot of dme and a small amour of wort in the kettle it can be a massive pain in the ass to stir all that **** up

It's already in the carboy and like a dumb ass I didn't take any gravity readings at all , terrible brew day yesterday y'all

Does anybody have any tips for adding Large amounts of dme ? Tips for keeping the clumping down

Massive boil over bros !! I walked away for 30 sec and a hollow or more of wort boiled out all over everything !!! ... I didn't know what I should do so I added more water to the pot I didn't have any more fermentable's to thrown in with it even it back out

I learned that adding 11 lbs if dme + 1.5 lbs of cane sugar + 1 lbs of candy sugar into 1.5 gallon of water is a pain in the ass !!! ... And I also learned that after adding all that to the pot and get it mixed up I shouldn't walk away until after the hot break :( .... Catastrophic boil over :(

Couldn't * possibly taste

What exactly do you mean by specialty beers ? Excuse my ignorance I'm only on my 10th batch or so ... I started this thread because I went to my LHBS and picked a clone of Avery's Maharaja ipa out of a book and the recipe called for some Alexanders pale malt syrup , and she substituted it with...

So would I get more flavor out of a fresh LME ?

Anybody have preferences on the 2 ?

We tapped that keg sirs ! Woooooo it's pretty damn tasty !!! Needs more on the grain side , it's not quite heavy enough to carry all that hop smell from the oz of cascade dry hop ... The beer is pretty powerful , but fairly certain it's nowhere near 17 % ... Can you check the gravity after its...

It was a partial mash kit from BrewCraft - OG was supposed to be 1.069 .. We added a pound of candy sugar , and I would like to hope we were topped off and mixed well with water . I do recall tasting the sample and it being very sweet having A lot of really good flavor on the end of it
