Thank you everyone for your advice! I'm going to wait until saturday and see how many more posts I get and then make a decision. One other question is...how would all of you go about priming this batch at bottling time?

:drunk:First of all, thank you to everyone who has made my brewing experience richer by your contributions! On Jan 29, 2011, I brewed up a Belgian Tripel. Using While labs Abbey Ale Yeast. Not as a starter, but just opened the vial and dumped it in then stirred. On Jan 31st, I noticed no...

So looooong story short, I believe that one of my gromets for the top of my primary bucket may have fallen in to my primary after I had pitched the yeast. Thankfully if it did, it was fully sanitized and clean. The beer is fermenting just fine today. (less than 15 hours later). Does...

So I took by brew shop owners advice and boild up 2 1/2 cups of water and added 8 oz of lactose to it. I let it cool and added it to the secondary. I now understand that this beer is going to take a good long while to become what I dream of nightly. How long would you all suggest leaving it...

ILuvIPA, I took your advise, and just got a new one. Ready to brew this Saturday night!

So I actually just went and bought a new spigot to use for now, while I work on cleaning my original one.

So, I'm getting worried that perhaps my valve on my primary fermenter is not getting as clean as it should be. Any advice for deep cleaning this piece of equipment? Also, is there an arguement for using regular water/sanitizer/vodka in the airlock? Thanks again to all who reply You make...

The reasons for Honey are 1) I've been wanting to work with honey recently, and wanted to start in a low quantity to get the hang of how this will add flavor and body to a beer. 2) My homebrew store owner said that he has done several tripels with and without honey and has enjoyed the flavor...

Hello All, So this is my first day logged in, and my first appeal to the brewing community to give me advice on my next brew. In 2 weeks I plan on starting a Belgian Tripel. Here are the list of ingredients that I picked up from my local home brew guru. He's never steared me wrong...
