HB Oatmeal Stout w/ coffee tincture. Pretty nice!

When I first got into alcoholic fermentation 2 years ago, I used Musselman apple juice + honey, only let it ferment 1 week, and was still impressed with my results. Recreating this recipe now (with a longer primary) I find it lackluster! I guess my tastes/expectations have changed.

1.75 gal Azacca Pale Ale. My first time with this hop and my first use of oats outside a stout. 39.25 + 1.75 = 41

The US05 version of my 50:50 rice:2-row ale. This was better than the T58 version and my clearest brew to date.

Just made some candi syrup for my first shot at a Dubbel(ish) sometime soon. Hopefully worth the time!

May he rest in peace. I too look forward to seeing how this brewing system works out!

50% white rice, 50% two row. Split batch T58 and US05. This T58 bottle is somewhat cidery in aroma, but only been bottled 1 week. Not bad, but hoping for improvement over time or for US05 to be better.

Too high a level of carbonation (gas) can resulting in "gushers" than produce way too much foam. To my knowledge, the actual size of the individual bubbles depends on things like protein content, specific gravity, temperature, and carbonation level.

Merry Christmas! This was meant to be a pale ale, but I used too much 60L caramel. Split batch between T58 and US05. This is the 05. Both are good, yet so different!

I think it would be easier to simply let the unbottled beer sit in the fermenter for 2 more weeks, then bottle just once.

1.5 gal Wheat Ale (Hazy Cheapskate variation) 4607 + 1.5 = 4608.5

I only make 1.5 gal batches, so the effort is much less on my part.

That is good to know! But it is still much better than my prior technique which revolved more heavily around my "volumetric eye".

@Miraculix has a nice recipe "Hazy Cheapskate" that uses wheat flour and relatively low hops. Combined w/ reused yeast, it is my most economical brew and quite tasty too.

I bottle condition with 1.5-1.7 oz table sugar for 1.5 gal beer. I dissolve the sugar in a small amount of water on the stove, let it cool, then use a 250 syringe with volume markings to suck up the sugar syrup. I read the total volume and then divide it up by the amount of bottles (taking into...

This thread helped convince me to try out T58 in lieu of the more pricey Belgian yeast. My wheat ale had nice clovey flavors and aroma, while my "honey pale ale" came out with distinctly "Belgian" esters/spice. Maybe not for everyone, but I like it!

Oatmeal Stout 4338 + 1.5 = 4339.5

Yeah, I am familiar with the feature but was just impatient and not expecting the starch tsunami. Maybe next time, if this turns out good!

I wanted to experiment a little and try making a rice beer (50:50 two row and white rice). So I decided to pre-(over)cook the rice by putting 1.5 lbs + 1 gal water in my instant pot, filling it about 80% to "Max Fill". When depressurizing it went ok at first, but then it started spewing thick...

1.5 gal Rice Ale 4243.5 + 1.5 = 4245
