My final brewday of the year will be Thursday. I will be right up there with you, if it makes you feel better! ;)

Made my first Roggenbier a few weeks ago. Same experience as yours - draining took forever. So would you add rice hulls next time even though it's BIAB?

7892.5 + 5 gallons Oatmeal Stout = 7897.5

Roggenbier.

Disagreed with probably 75% of this, but hey to each their own! The point about sours is I think misguided. I mean why would you ever eat cheese if you follow that line of thinking? I'm not a sour freak, but I picked up a bottle of Panil Barriquée sometime well before the sour craze hit (where I...

6801.5 + 5.5 gallons Kolsch = 6807

How did you exterminate them?

Well my brew day got off to a bad start. I plunked my grain mill down on top of a 5-gallon bucket and started weighing out my grain. Just before I started milling, I saw what I thought were ants in the bottom bucket! Closer inspection determined they were weevils. The grain itself wasn’t...

My advice is to spend a brewday (or two) with someone who has experience with BIAB. I too thought I should first try extract to see if I liked the hobby. So that's what I did and I had a terrible experience - really made me think homebrewing was way too much bother for the results, so I didn't...

5 gallons Bohemian Pilsner 5 gallons APA 4.7 gallons ( ;) ) Roggenbier 6315

Any one ever had a momentary lapse of reason like I just did and add yeast nutrient to cooled-down starter? I always add a little nutrient to my starter wort as it's boiling, but forgot to add it this time. I only remembered once I had cooled the wort down, and like a dummy, for some reason...

Oh no!!! Again!

Hostile action

Corporate takeover

I might be missing something...boiling point of water at sea-level is 212 F, right?

Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. Picked up this seasonal release from a local brewery. Nice little 5% beer.

Jerk chicken, rice & beans, coleslaw…what else could I do?

Figured this would be good for a cool fall late afternoon.

It was a reasonably fresh pack - I think I figured it was manufactured in August (the use by date was sometime in February). Admittedly, I've only just started taking aeration more seriously, using an air stone rather than relying on shaking and splashing. I've always prepared a starter to...
