    I Dream of Jenny - Cream ale (Genessee Cream Ale clone)

    Good luck. Let us know. I grew up in Rochester so reminds me of home. And you can't get it Texas.

    Poll: Do you have, or plan to get, an electric car?

    I had a Tesla (Model S) for 3.5 years/about 32,000 miles. It was a "slow" one - single motor/2WD. Great car. Hardly any service issues - didn't take in at all until a little over 2 years for a scheduled service, new tires and there was a sensor in front that went out. It needed a new 12 volt...

    First Belgian Dubbel - seems like a lot of Phenol

    Yeah. It didn't seem to do anything as far as more fermentation - SG is still 1.006. Maybe my imagination but already does seem less strong on the phenols. I'm going to cold crash now then keg in 2 or 3 days. I'll TRY to wait a couple weeks before tasting again after that (good luck with that!)

    First Belgian Dubbel - seems like a lot of Phenol

    Thanks! They definitely wanted you to use the wine yeast in “secondary.” It’s been in there two days now - no activity that I can see. Haven’t re-checked gravity. i BIAB. Initial mash temp was 153F. I did leave it mashing for over 2 hours - usually do about an hour, temp was 149F at the end.

    First Belgian Dubbel - seems like a lot of Phenol

    What are you drinking now?

    HB Amber lager. 3 weeks grain to glass. Needs time to clear and lager and all that but tastes delicious already on a hot day!

    Should I do diacetyl rest for Wyeast 2007 - Pilsen Lager

    True. As far as pitch rate, I don't know - was a "smack-pack" into 5 gallons. Pitched at 50F.

    Should I do diacetyl rest for Wyeast 2007 - Pilsen Lager

    On their website, it noticeably does NOT say a diacetyl rest is recommended, whereas it seems to say that for most of the other lagers. I'm fermenting an American lager, OG 1.050 at 50F and wondering if should bother with diacetyl rest or not.

    Made me feel good - behold the power of beer

    Beer snobs are funny. BMC sells a LOT of beer. How much do you sell? ;)

    Slow leaks from Corny Kegs

    I have several 5 gallon ball-lock Corny kegs - new ones from Adventures in Homebrewing, less than a year old. Some of them leak, and it's a really slow leak. I had checked everything with soap and thought all was well, but noticed I was losing CO2 from the tank faster than should, with three...

    What I did for beer today

    Filled up the 20 pounder. This should have lasted a really long time (like years?) but had a leak situation

    Hmm. I've been told he is either a "large mini" or a "small medium." ;)

    This sink is awesome for muddy feet. Wish I had one in my "brewery."
