I have done 1056 and S-04 together for a little variety, and it turned out well. I'm sure the SA-05 would be fine as well.

Samuel Adams Coastal Wheat Sam's specialty brews have been going downhill for a while now, but with this, I actually gagged a little and then sent it back. A new low. Stick to what your good at, Mr. Koch! (Though I loved their Noble Pils, go figure)

Sounds perfectly normal to me.

^^^ Oh yea, and be careful with your grain bill, last time I did this I got 89% efficiancy!!! :rockin:

I try to mimic a normal mash schedule as much as possible with BIAB. I do my conversion at about 1.5qt/lb so I'm heating about 3.75 gallons of water up to 165 or so so that with around a 10 lb grain bill you should hit 156-158. Yep, I do that too. Then raise the bag and drain for a few...

+1 If its hot, and I'm thirsty as hell, a good old Bud is pretty damn satisfying!

Cold crashing is just sticking your fermenter in a fridge at about 35 degrees or so for a few days, that precipitates out most of the things that make beer hazy. I don't keg either so I couldn't tell you the next step, but this schedule usually works for 90% of the beers I make... Primary for...

Great, thanks!

Dyslexia's a bitch. :mug: I meant S-23, a generic lager yeast.

I usually do pales and hefes, so here we go, what do y'all think? Came up with this one on my own. Any suggestions on yeast? We like them malty, with good mouthfeel, not too dry. I happen to have a packet of S-34, but I'd use whatever would be best for the style. Amy's Pilz 2-A...

Wyeast 3060 or White Labs 300, they are supposedly the same. Ferment at 64 for more clove, 68-70 for more banana. Throw that American Hefe yeast in the toilet. It does absolutley nothing for me, personally I feel its totally bland.

Well hopefully the OG came out OK. My math was (.065/-4)=-.016 -.016+1.065=1.049OG which is close enough. I love that 3068, I pitched at 9PM Monday night at at 7AM Tuesday morn, it had a HUGE krausen already. It produces so much heat during fermentation that I had a hard time keeping temps...

Hefeweizen, of course... 3 lbs pilsner DME 4 lbs white wheat malt .5 lb carapils Mashed the grains with 3 gallons of water at about 158 in the brew kettle inside a grain bag for 45 minutes, then pulled the bag and let it drain. No sparge, figured I had plenty of water in the mash...

80 is WAY to high for hefes. Your going to get a phenolic bomb , and it may taste similar to V2 rocket fuel. :D Just kidding but its going to have a strange flavor profile to be sure. I talked to the brewmaster at the Hofbrauhaus here in Cincinnati, and he told me that they were...

I have done that. Put the foil on first, and bake at 350 for an hour and a half, and then when your done, leave them in the oven overnight and dont open the door till morning, that lets the temprature ramp down. ive done hundreds of bottles this way and I like it. The only problem is I...

Oh yea, sorry forgot to mention that I did take a gravity reading and it did drop a few points, but I understand that could be from the lacto as well. (After some thought, I did re pitch some more lacto after the boil with the yeast, in the hopes that from what I've read of that style, that...

Brewed a Berliner W last week, let it sour for about four days with laco, then boiled Sunday night and pitched Monday morning. So 2 and a half days have gone by and NO airlock activity, no krausen, no nothing. Did not use a starter, (it says you don't have to) I pitched at about 70 and...
