    Feedback needed from experts, a RoggenBier recipe

    I think this will be very dark and opaque. However, with 6 weeks of bulk conditioning, it will be good. Your ratio on Rye is high, but if you are diluting it will taste just as such. What's stopping you from AG? Boil volume? Mash tun size? If you can I'd suggest going all out. I love rye...

    Let's talk about Foam Control drops (aka Fermcap)

    But does it make the beer taste like formula 409? Need that MSDS, PseudeChef.

    Anyone else getting snow?

    There is no way I could live in Canada. Good luck my friend!

    Anyone else getting snow?

    Stopped at about 16" today, but as others from the buckeye city have mentioned, the wind makes drifts halfway up windows. I still brewed once I dug out a spot for the burner on the patio.

    Sucking Down CO2...

    A 5 lb should last 6-10 kegs carbed and served. Leak check time!

    extra light extract

    The flavor really is very similar extra light to dark in extracts. Main changes are from brand to brand. Some brands have different fermentability characteristics, which is the main perception of body in beer. Look for the most fermentability for a lighter body.

    extra light extract

    Yes. Also try a larger boil and late extract addition. Add one lb at 60 min as usual, then save the rest to add at 15 min. You can use DME (powder extract) as it tends not to scorch as much, makes a lighter beer, and just taste less extract-ey.

    Porter Starter

    It would not be worth the trouble to step up a starter for a .60 beer, in my opinion. Just a 1L starter should suffice. Cheers.

    Where does everyone get their Co2

    I have had a tank filled at a beer distributor in PA. That was like $5 but they don't actually fill it with liquid, just pressurize it to 800psi as a gas. A real fill usually means swapping the cylinder out and runs 15-20 dollars for a 5lb around the US at a welding shop, fire extinguisher, or...

    Are you a brewer?

    We all make beer. Some EX and PM brewers do better that some AG brewers. The proof is in the puddin' if you ask me. Good beer makes a good brewer, but bad beer, that just makes a brewer who has more to learn. Cheers to all those who make it!

    Redheads

    Envy is red in this case.

    Must be drunk or high

    Really puts another perspective on it. Beginning part is the best. Before the music really gets going.

    My brother's crappy luck with his car

    That sucks, but 147,000 temperate climate miles out of an American V6 is pretty good. BTW that is called an interference engine. The rotating assembly interferes with the valve assembly if it gets too far out of time. Lots of cars have that, usually with timing belts though (they are...

    batch spargers; how do you add your water?

    Yeah 8.3 is crazy high. Maybe some tannin or lipid extraction - something like that. FWIW I dump my sparge water right on top of the mash as it is actually still draining. Then stop the valve, stir, sit for 10 min, then repeat.

    Grain disposal & MLT cleaning?

    When we lived in the country I put them outside for the deer to eat. Now, in the 'burbs, I run them down the disposal. 3/4 HP does the job nicely. Clean out the MLT? Hose it out and scrub with a drop of dishwashing detergent. It's very easy if you do it SOON. Experience has taught if you...

    1 hour boil - When do I time?

    You were still right. You boil off bad compounds, isomerize acids, kill bacteria, or anything else living for that matter... The list goes on. But a reason for knowing exactly how long your boil is is for hop utilization calcs.

    Big hop flavor with 1/3 the hops

    I do not have a french coffee press, but an american coffe machine. Any luck with that?
