Thanks! I thought I may have to cut back on the cinnamon sticks also. Mpjay

How do I scale this recipe to 5 gallons? I tried searching this thread and couldn't find a 5 gallon recipe. Forgive me if I missed it. I bottled a gallon of this recently and it tasted great going into the bottle. I have an old 5 gallon carboy that is going unused right now that I would...

You made me LOL! Mpjay

Okay, I'm already thinking of making another batch of this but I have a few questions. If I brew this on Friday, the first batch will have been in the fermenter for only 6 days. I started the temp at 60 and have been cranking it up 2 degrees every day and was going to stop when I hit 68 and...

Reno, Just wanted to say thanks for this recipe! Also thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread! I decided to brew this a while back and read the entire thread. Then I went back through it last night and reread the whole thread. I brewed it up today and everything went...

Kern River Brewing Company has some great beers. Try to get your hands on their Citra. Mpjay

Don't get scared off by the cost. I pulled the trigger on kegging pretty quickly after getting into this hobby. I loved making beer but despised bottling. I knew I would quit making it if I had to keep bottling. If this is how you feel, start buying the kegging equipment little by little or try...

Answered my question before I asked it! Thanks bro! Jay

I just have one flask. Any options? Decant the first starter into a jar? Thanks for the fast reply, Jay

Gents, Ok, I've been brewing about a year now but I have never done a yeast starter. I bought a starter kit and a stir plate and want to give it a try. I want to brew two beers next week, probably one Thursday and one Friday. My questions are: When should I begin the first starter...

If this is still available I'll take it. Let me know how to pay you if it is. Thanks, Jay

[ So the other day I'm getting onto the freeway and an exceptional driver speeds up in the slow lane forcing me to slam on the brakes and let him go by as I am trying to merge onto the freeway. I pass him a minute later and give him the big thumbs up. Right after that I turned to my wife...

Can someone help a rookie? I'm still figuring out beersmith but plugging in the recipe I got 244.9 IBU's not 95. Color and OG came out close to what was in the original post though. What did I do wrong? Thanks, Mpjay Edited to clarify: That was with pellet hops. I switched it to...

Welcome home!! Thank you for your service to our great nation. Mpjay

Crucifix Cream Ale? Too real?

Hardly anyone knows this but Chuck Norris died several years ago. Death is just afraid to come take his soul. Chuck Norris can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head. Chuck Norris doesn't go hunting.......... He goes killing.

Thanks for the info guys!

Yup, I found a half barrel keg on Craigslist for 20 bucks. Now..... how the heck do I turn this thing into a keggle? I saw a couple old threads but was wondering if anyone has come up with a better way to skin that cat lately. Mpjay

Keep them both. Use one style for beer and use the other for soda. That way you can easily keep them straight. Mpjay
