Pretty much every batch I've made looked like that. It will be fine.

When I first started All-grain brewing I really wanted to make the perfect Brown Ale. I really liked commercial examples that had a nice caramel/toffee taste with a subtle sweetness. From what I was reading, it seemed like Special B malt was the perfect answer. I was told it had an "intense...

I have a similar looking problem. Did you mulch any leaves in the garden last fall?

I always use gelatin- 1.5 tsp in a cup of hot water. Crystal clear every time.

IMO don't be afraid to sparge hot. I routinely sparge at 80-90c with no ill effects.

Mixed per instructions and in the evening. It seems to be working its way up from the bottom.

Has anyone seen this before? I have sprayed insecticidal soap so I don't think it is bug related. Thinking it is a deficiency of some sort but I have fertilized and given it cow manure and grass clippings for nitrogen. Is it lacking something else?

I'm just impressed that someone's willing to admit they're a bad driver!

Energizer or nutrient should be added in the last 10 or 15 minutes of the boil. When I use Gelatin I mix a half tbl spoon with a cup of water and add it to the keg right after racking. If you bottle, mix it in your batch with your sugar.

Luckily o-rings aren't too expensive to replace.

No. Leave it on. The second roller is supposed to turn when you're milling because the grain still pushes against it but my o-ring broke once and it worked like crap. Leave it on just push it all the way to the end.

I ordered late. Around 4 EST.

Just got my payment request a few minutes ago.

I'm a big stout fan, and yes stouts are always better on nitro in my opinion but they're still worth doing with co2. If you want some similar mouthfeel with co2 I would recommend adding 8oz of malto-dextrine at the end of the boil. Also, get a stout tap.

They grow from the tops. They couldn't grow from the bottom because the bine grips the rope as it climbs.

Try some centennial.

Two oz of Magnum will be real bitter. Too much in my opinion. Also dry hopping with any less than two oz is not worth the effort.

Going to brew this clone this weekend. Can anyone confirm if they hit the mark with their recipe? Still undecided on how much chocolate to use and 1 or 2 lbs of Munich.
