Actually we heard about a place where they grow hops for Pharmaceutical industry 400 km for the Basque Country, we drove there and just "borrowed" some kilos (we didn't even know how they looked like, so we didn't know exactly what to "borrow"). The Malt Extract came from Germany (via...

Thanks Scinerd, Your comment sounds logic. I'll wait till fermentation is complete or at least it gets softer (more or less 7 days), put the beans inside, and live it two more weeks. You said that I should scrape the seeds but.... Should I throw them away or put them in the fermenter too...

One Minute Silence for your Lost.

Last batch I brewed a Belgian Triple. OG = 1075 I just let it sit in primary for 4 weeks, and I will let it rest in bottles for 2 months. It would have been great that I had brewed this two months earlier so now I could give you the results of what I did, but I must wait till mid August...

I'm planning to brew a Vanilla Stout this weekend, and I don't use a secondary so I thought about putting 2 vanilla beans in primary after 5 or 6 days and leave it for three weeks. Do you think it will be a risk of contamination? or maybe... Would it be better to boil the 2 vanilla beans...

Everything started seven years ago; Me and a friend at Engineering University thougt about brewing our own beer. We didn't have internet, there are no LHBS in the Basque Country (I don't know any in Europe yet), we didn't know anybody who had done it before... We didn't know...

Thanks Conroe, As everybody who answered my question agree :cross: I will forget about the Irish Moss and increase the amount of Roasted Barley. I will brew this in six days, so if someone can give another opinion about both recepies I will thank it a lot. :mug:

I'm planning to brew these two recepies, and as I don't know much about brewing software and I never used Late extract addition It would be great when some of you give me your opinions. Here they go: SOFT GALENA IPA Batch size: 20 L Boil size: 10 L 1 kg Light Dry Extract (8SRM) 2 kg...

Thanks a lot Poindexter, I've never used a secondary, but after this experience with big beers I ordered a secondary last week, it will take one week more to arrive. The point with all this is that I have a Brewing-Plannig with my SWMBO and a couple of friends so we don´t have to Buy Beer...

Following your advices I opened un the lid and stired gently the beer, temperatures have risen a bit, It´s been for a week between 23 and 24 ºC and finally yesterday (24 days after pitching the yeast) i took a reading wich reached 1018. I go on with my plans of botteling this Sunday (it will...

Has anybody tryed Chemipro Oxi Vinoferm? If someone has... How do you use it? It says No-rinse but i don´t know if its a good sanitizer. I would love to buy StarSan but i didn´t find where to buy...

Great thread, I don't speak English very well, so this thread is perfect for me. :ban: (How can i love that dancing fruit so much?)

Has anybody seen that line? I've got many mental illnesses but no hobbies, everything I like, it obsess me.

Welcome, You´re really lucky that you live there, You see how many brewers around? I came from a place with no LHBS, with no Starsan... I feel so alone here....:ban:

Has anybody tryed Chemipro Oxi Vinoferm? If someone has... How do you use it? It says No-rinse but i don´t know if its a good sanitizer. I would love to buy StarSan but i didn´t find where to buy it here.

Welcome, And don't worry, we've heard about brewing sessions harder than yours and the final product was Beer.

Great idea, since my first batch drunk the whole airlock water + sanitizer solution I always fill it with Vodka just in case.

Hello guys, Did anyone try this beer? 1795 Original Czech Lager Dark : I drank it yesterday and i like it a lot, :rockin: I had 1/2 liters bottle, 4.5%. Brown with brown head. Really strong caramel taste. Easy to drink. I was wondering if someone has brewed an Ale similar to that...

I have 80 bottles of Guinness in wich I bottle one batch every two months, quite easy to get the widget out with my Leatherman ¿pruners? (don´t know the exact word in English). The bottle is really nice and has a slight curve in the bottom wich makes it much easier to leave the yeast in it...
