I've got Jamils Mr. Maltinator sitting in my lagerator right now. Made it up back in July. It's still thinking about its self, but snuck samples taste pretty goot. Still a little hot right now. First doppelbock I've made so not sure if this is right or not. Had the fermentation right on at...

I've made a Wit Beer based on Jamil's recipe thats tastes damn close me thinks. I changed a few things thoug. Instead of using orange zest I used about a 3/4 jar of marmalade ( something like 6 oz I think) and used Wyeast Forbidden Fruit (3463) yeast. Fermented it high at 78- 80 and after it...

Krotchrott has a recipe that was talked about on the BrewingNetwork. Check out the podcast. It's the one with Spike form Terrapin Brewing Co.. Here's a link to the recipe that Spike said was pretty spot on: http://www.krotchrott.com/ryepaleale.html

I dont think 73 is too warm for a wit. I just made up one and started it at 68 and let it ramp up to almost 80. Belgians in my opinion need a higher ferment to get that funk. Of course Jamil disagrees, so I would go with him on ferment temps.

I'd suggest getting a cheap garbage can and fill it with ice, or get 2 and have kegs in different locations.

Yeah, hefe's really dont have a flavor/aroma addition unless you want to put one in there. a 60 min boil will leach pretty much all flavor of the hops out leaving just bitterness.

this website has a good calculator. Goto the "Can I mash it section" http://www.rackers.org/calcs.shtml That being said I have a 48qt cube, and I like it.

Ha! Then watch bragging about your beer at Barleys! Man, that was some good shizat. Anyone near Columbus, get a growler of the E-IPA2. Nothing wrong with the grain bill, I was confessing my ignorance of the taste of specific malts. Calm dawn your highness

Hopbursting is a great way to get the full flavor from your hops. Very smooth bitterness. Dont know about your grain bill, but the hops look good! Only problem with hop bursting is kinda goes away pretty quick, but if you bring the keg to the picnic that wont be a problem!

No they wont grow mold. I dry hop in the keg and crap escapes the pantyhose all the time. No problems.

I just did this 2 nights ago. Used the link from the brewboard and everything went fine. Hardest part was getting the wires into the tiny holes. Cursed these meathooks I call hands! Now my Dortmunder is nice and chilly at a stable 49F. No more ice bottles for me!

yeah, I'd love to do one too, but not that patient. Listened to the Jamil show and he said they should be aged for a year. Ouch!

I just listened to an old BrewCaster Sunday episode that delt with Doc describing his brewday. Jamil and McDole were also in the studio. Both of them said force carb using a chart like the one posted above. McDole uses 30psi and shakes till he "knows its done" Damn telepathy! Or he hits it...

Jamils' got a great cream ale. Its on tap at my house, and even I like it, and I'm usually into hoppy beers oops, fogot the link: http://www.beerdujour.com/JamilsRecipes.htm

I made up a batch of Scottish 70/. Got the yeast from a fellow homebrewers Scotch ale and mam that fermentation smelled really, really bad. Beer is really really good though. Even cvalled Wyeast to verify that a Scottish yeast could smell like that. The lab guy said yup, it can.

Ahh Monteith's. Went to NZ on our honeymoon. Didnt try the Summer (it was winter there), but took a tour of the brewery. The lady who showed us around told us that Montieths is available at some Trader Joe's. I believe only on the west coast though. They sure dont have any here in Ohio!

I've just used the tea nall I bought from Northern Brewer. Seems like it doens't seal properly. I've got a ton of hop sludge in the keg. (I put the ball in the keg, not secondary). Not sure what to do with it now. Should I just take the ball out after the 2 weeks of dry hopping time and...

yeah, thats the only beer out of their lineup I dont (nor anyone I know) like. Wish they would take it out of their sampler pack!

try Conways Irish Ale from Great Lakes...best Irish I've had since my wife!
