Thanks businesstime, I will do it then.

I'm brewing an IPA I would like to dry hop, but as I'm not a fan of secondary ferementers I thought that after the first two weeks of fermentation I could simply open the lid and throw inside 50 grams of hops in flower, then let it sit for one more week. What do you think of this method...

I had my first contamination after more than 50 batches. I threw away every plastic element that stayed in contact with the infection. But I am still worried about the bottles. I cleaned them concienciously, with water and soap, I will sanitize them prior to bottling next batch. Will this be...

Yeah, It sucks, everyone here knows that. But I must say that before I "saw the light" about what a good beer is, I used to love it. Now I know I was wrong.

I guess what would have happen if here we could take weapons with us like in the US... Sure the ending of the story would have been different :rockin: Here that privilege of having guns is reserved for those illuminated and touched by the fingers of God who protect mankind of it's own...

I pitch over a yeast cake every two weeks, never found odd flavors or missing flavors due to overpitching. In response to the threat's question. It's normal, last week I pitched a 5 gall batch of Imperial Stout over the cake of a Red Ale. 5 hours later it was bubbling like crazy and 3 cm krausen.

30 years old, 2'5 years brewing, last year brewing every week.

Not crushed for me. If it was crushed would be the best crush I've ever seen.

Never done it, but I'll give it a try this Saturday and post the results. It's a Red Ale with vodka in the airlock.

Ok, here is my story with beer and driving. Ten years ago I was driving after drinking more or less six beers. I was 20 years old and it was a short five minutes trip to my home, I decided to drive because there was no train or bus and it was a very desertical area. Another car "jumped" (I...

I've had more than five batches in witch I never saw a bubble in the airlock and all of them fermented right. It had nothing to do with sealing, I know because they were different buckets, and I have seen bubbles in following batches with those buckets. I just don't know why they didn't bubble...

Thanks for those answers, :mug: Brewing day, during my mash, I bottle a batch that has been in primary for three weeks (in wich I piched a packet of dry yeast). I simply leave the yeast inside the fermenter , and after chilling the new wort I pour it over the cake (more or less 1 litre of...

Hey, I use to pour my wort over the yeast cake of the previous batch. When I do it I always wander if I should aereate the mixture or not since the yeast has already multiplied, so it has passed it's aerobic phase. But I don't know why I always end up aereating. Is this right? Do you think it...

I would love to see what they say about sex!!! Also... don't you like the logo the use for the beer? Let's see if it's copyrighted or it will be mine!!!!!

Wow!! Did they mean that? What dicctionary did they use? I speak spanish and can not find that meaning anywhere in "San Miguel". Anyway, here, in the Bask Country, San Miguel is the comercial cheap beer you can find anywhere, I think you could compare it with Bud or something similar in the...

Almost every time I brew (that is every week) I bottle two 1/2 litre bottles wich will be used as gifts, only for those who I know they love my beer and know the work it takes but I never use them as special ocasion gift, just like Hey, this is for you. Don't need to get married for that...

Tom Waits here too, also Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Joplin, Robert Jonhson... I like stoner and doom too, but it stresses me while brewing, don't know why :(

All of my yeast cakes are reused 3 times. But sure you can use it 300. Maybe you need to do that to get the best yeast ever.

When you are a singer it's great that you like your beer flat, I'm trying to find a recipe that I like without carbonation, since I have lots of problems with beer on stage. Every two words a burp scapes.:mad:

All of mine rest in primary for 3 weeks before bottling
