Ok, I have a "cooler style" mash tun and I want to use red oak as an false bottom. Is thier any toxicity in red oak and will it mess with my AG mash? "Oak is full of tannic acid and mixes with the iron in our water it creates a chemical blue dye. This is why red oak stains black when water...

My frist beer was an 10 plus years.. It was no good, or I didn't know how to brew yet.. But it did ferment out, just did not taste very good.

Thank you, I have been looking over my books and that is the only beer style that this may match. Next time I will not just look in to ref and brew..

Hey I just wanted some info on this beer that I just brewed up. Its an AG I really just put this together. I had the hops and I really didn't think about it just brewed it. Used 6lbs 2-row, .25lbs 10 crystal and .25lbs 20 crystal malt. I used willamette hops. 1/2hr boil before putting the...

I'm brewing up a light lager! I got some keggs and I need to fill them!

Been at that gravity for 3 weeks, I'm letting the yeast fall out. Well I was thinking of putting Wine Conditionre form Spagnols.. Damn it, well that why I'm reread all my brewing books and taking notes.. It just shows how big of a rookie I am.. LOL

OG was 1.050 FG is .998 I need to look though my notes but I used an Champange yeast.

Notting really I just have more apple wine but at 18.1%.

I have an apple wine at 5.2% that has been sitting for more then a month. I really do not want to bottle it, just for the fact its only 5.2%. Should I keg it or just get down to bussiness and start clean bottles? Has anyone put wine into a keg? :off: Brewing my Superbowl Sunday Lager...

Overall, thanks I like the info!!

Is anyone here a "Brew Master".. If not the same to you..:D

Maybe, but then my AG would have the same taste too..

Really an oxygen stone!! I will have to look into that!

Ok, more then the majority of the beers that I make and tasted do have "for me" the same Malt background taste. I have drank a Vanilla Porter that was made form the same kits that I used and I didn't know.. So ya, a blind taste test would be the only true test..:tank:

I have tasted some great beer and I have not tasted all the extract brands. I have only try'd about 4 different extracts brands, which after making each one about 5 times I found that all of them had a base taste. I used steeping grains right way.. Only use the base kits about my frist 7 times...

All I can say is I still taste the base malt in Sryup Kits.. I know people that won Comps and I think all their beer taste the same.. "meaning the malt background" form his pilsner to his Porter. I also know people that never brew the samething more then two times. :mug:

LOL!! I'm doing that next week!

OO no, I'm taking a step back. If you do take the time as I have seen some people using kits do. "maybe yourself" Using steep grains and several different hops to make something that I couldn't even rap my head around, because they took it to level myself have not even look at. All I'm...

Anything you make should make you fill great! I know it makes me feel like, I'm the best at what I do. Or try to be any ways. "If you make it, they will come" No matter sryup, DME or AG.:mug:

I think it all about the quality and the Brewer!
