This sounds like a fun idea. Let us know how it works out.

Also, I upped the grain a bit to make sure I hit the expected OG. Wound up at 1050 because of boil off.

I did BIAB no rice hulls. Worked great.

I love this beer. Leinenkugels has it as part of their fall sampler pack with some nasty shandy and other stuff. It's labeled as a Vienna style lager and has just a taste of oak. I'm not set up to lager but while it's winter I may give it a try... Otherwise, could an Oktoberfest ale with oak...

Toppling Goliath oatmeal stout from Decorah, IA. I'm not really familiar with TG but what an odd thing to have on the side of the bottle!?!? Kinda cool, I guess? "Baby get the keys to the rover truck. Man, let me get this oatmeal stout over, bruh. Ain't no beer here up in Iowa like it...

For the cream ale 13 lbs 2 row (or 6 row?) 2 lb flaked maize or corn grits 1 lb carapils 2 lb sugar 1 oz mittelfruh 1 oz Crystal Mash at 151 for 60 min This is essentially Bosmo's imperial Cream Ale rounded up for BIAB and no sparge and with only one mash and hop schedule like biermunchers...

HB ryp pale ale

HB Amarillo session pale ale.

Ended up doing a big bag over the carboy. My other concern is that it's new location is 5-10 degrees cooler, just under 60 degrees. It seems like fermentation is done though so it shouldn't be an issue. Thanks!

Looks like a great recipe, I'm adding it to the short list. Read the WHOLE thread over a couple days and the consensus is that it is awesome!

Thoughts? I'm thinking of doing a BIAB imperial Cream Ale (maybe Bosmo's) no sparge followed by a KY common. Adding the dark grains and some extra corn and maybe a little flaked wheat in the sparge for the common. Would a 30 minute timeframe be enough to convert the additional corn/wheat? I...

Those who use US-05, how long is yours going? Mines been two weeks and bubbling. Gravity dropped less than 1 point over the past 4 days. 05 doesn't usually go this slow for me... Is it ready to bottle? I don't normally rush beers but my fermentation room/guest bedroom will have a guest in it...

I love horehound too, am interested in an answer to this. Maybe use it in a spiced winter lager or something. The candy I've had HS relatively little horehound flavor, may have to look for an extract.

Brewed 10 gallons last night. Used 1oz crystal 3.3AA and 2 oz mittelfruh 2.5 AA because I ordered the wrong hops... Half with US-05 and half with T-58, Belgian strain "selected for its esthery somewhat peppery and spicy flavour development." Never tried it, could be interesting! OG 1050

Anyone tried this an imperial? I'm thinking of the ten gallon recipe but only doing 7 gallons or so. Is that crazy? That should put the OG around 1070, I think... US04 starter or 05 yeast cake, ferment in my basement. Maybe rack one gallon onto raspberries in the secondary for SWMBO...

Correct, not mashing, just steeping. I used the muslin bag that came w the kit in the original 5 gallon brew. Do I need to just spring for a reusable mesh bag?

11 gallons of beer with krausen!

Brewed two kits of session pale ale from homebrew supply on Tuesday night, each came w 8oz of specialty grains, crisp crystal 45. One will be Amarillo dry hopped as per the recipe, the other I'm swapping Citra, should both be good. Anyway, steeped the grains 25 min, rinsed in another kettle of...

I haven't been sparging steeping grains, but I'll start. I was under the impression that squeezing the bag would make the end product cloudy and hard to clear? Didn't consider the specialty grains would lose their diastatic power w kilning, makes total sense.
