    Adding chili peppers

    dark chocolate and chili pepper is apparently an excellent flavour combo. i intend on doing up a choco chilli porter later in the summer to hopefully sip and enjoy the warmth come fall time. If it works out...i think the choco/chilli would really compliment a strong RIS next!!

    Bottling day eve chocolate stout emergency

    if adding at bottling time, that is probably your best bet, to ensure equal distribution of the cocoa poweder tincture, otherwise i feel it would settle out in bottling bucket....at least without stirring the hell out of it and oxidizing the crap out of it. I've added it at the end of boil...

    First Time Brewing This Weekend

    not a bad word of advice at all. i try to follow it most brew days, but it really comes down to what kind of beer i'm brewing. Imperial Black IPA with large grain bill, lots of hop additions...i try to wait it out. A nice easy lawnmower blonde ale with a single hop edition at beginning of...

    Adding chili peppers

    Could be the oils. I split this 10gal of cream ale and added coconut chips/flakes to the other 5gal. i was concerned about the oils in the coconut as well, but it didnt affect it. for both the jalepeno's and coconut flakes, i baked them. (jalepenos i cut in half first). After baking at...

    Adding chili peppers

    i just brewed a cream ale that we added jalepeno's to. added after primary fermentation. i would just slowly add a few peppers every couple days until you get the heat you'd like, and package from there!

    First Time Brewing This Weekend

    -Make sure you have all the gear you need ready to go! nothing worse than scrambling for equipment when time is of the essence. -take notes of all your timings/temperatures/additions. All the things you may think back and wonder how you might be able to make this beer better, when you get...

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    have you ever tried the fatty's with ground beef? i was thinking of doing pizza fatty or bacon cheese burger fatty this weekend, but wonder how it would turn out with ground beef instead of pork?

    Coconut Sanitization

    Yup. Freezing is typically done with fruit, as the water in the fruit expands and breaks the cell Walls. Helps add more juiciness when added.

    Who's smoking meat this weekend?

    Did up some jalepeno ham and cheese Fatty's a la drgonzo2k2. Turned out great and will for sure be making them again!

    Coconut Sanitization

    i don't think when freezing that you've actually killed/sanitized anything. If you freeze something contaminated and then thaw it, it's still contaminated.

    Too much sugar!? Help !

    I think you want to RAISE anticipated gravity, thus lowering amount of grain required.

    Too much sugar!? Help !

    final runnings, as in you're taking measurements during lautering? maybe you're hitting a higher efficiency than anticipated? Either you keep lautering until you see runnings of 1.010 (im assuming based on literature this is the final runnigs number you have in mind?), but then your Preboil...

    Infection, looking for advice

    have you checked all their FGs ? that might help point to an indication of infection or not. Agreed with the bishop - especially if those are plastic fermenters? (it kind of looks like they are)
