You can add lots of water to a finished beer. I do it all the time when I'm bottling to top off the last bottle. I almost always end up with a 1/2 diluted bottle. It turns out surprisingly good, making me wonder why I made a beer twice as strong. Proves a 3% beer can be delicious. I don't think...

That's the part I'm most curious about: how similar will the profile be to say, Munich? I am skeptical I'm imagining some sacrifice. Need to try them side by side I think?

I wonder if you can achieve the same rich doppelbock maltiness from the Lighthouse without using more of it -- or maybe you will use more. Because you can. This will be my first time brewing with it. I've hopped on top of 50% dark Munich and Pilsner before and I really liked it -- it had an...

Just ordered 10 lbs and then I found this thread. I didn't know it was a new malt, but it sounded good. I already made a recipe, kind of treating like a maltier pale ale: For 16 Liters (about 4.2 gallons) California Ale Yeast (WLP001) 9 lbs Briess Lighthouse Light Munich Malt 1 lb Victory Malt...

It's gonna be pretty light. OG 1.042 with WY2565 Kolsch Yeast. Yep, it's on yeast. I never thought it would go untouched for 2 years. I'll definitely update here when I can. I don't currently have a mini fridge or any CO2 remaining so I might de-gas it, transfer it off the yeast into bottles...

I forgot about my warm-fermented lager until I saw this thread. I have it stored in a keg under pressure. So I checked my notes and it's been 2 years! I've never even tasted it or smelled it. It fermented at about 12 psi in the mid 60s F. Tried to go No-O2. Now I'm thinking about how to get it...

Is this a 100% pure powderized juice concentrate? Or is it riddled with synthetic BS? Not to judge, I just didn't see more info (link is a sign-up sheet). Sometimes they'll add de-foamers, other agents, flavors, anything. Not on a high horse, but the closer we can get to malt, hops, waters...

I wish a business luck. Since it's a discussion forum ... I've kept hops in a freezer for a long time without noticing problems. But this is on another level. Storage method? Cost of shipping to USA?

Is that like a dry malt extract? I use it for starters.

The fact is, beer and hops pair extremely well. Alcoholic fermentation is god's gift to man. Beer is even more of a gift. Then you have hops, which are yet another gift to man and beer alike. That's just the way it is. IPA is a style, yes, but you can pretty make anything imperial and throw in...

Is anything different going to happen? I do BIAB and I noticed that mashing in seemed way easier yesterday. No dough balls whatsoever. Everything going great. But then I realized the temp was set wrong -- it was at 100F. It took another 15-20 minutes to raise to 152F. I read that doughing in...

Looks totally good. But I don't get why so many flaked oats. It's just gonna create haze and slickness on the palate. I would eliminate all but maybe 6 oz of the oats because, imho, there's nothing tropical about them. It's just my opinon but tropical beers should be bright, crisp, and...

No doubt MO is on another level. It's like a specialty malt for the whole beer. But try special roasted, honey malt, special b, abbey, aromatic, biscuit, etc. You can unleash the flavor with combos.

All-grain, trying to minimize oxidization, yeast oxygen scavenging (YOS) with brewing water, malt / hop balancing, mash temp control (BIAB), fermentation temperature control and stability, and using yeast starters every time. Another big one was raising the end of the fermentation temperature by...

No problem with those items, usually, and they do carbonate faster. Try placing the lid on something flat, like a ruler, to see if it's warped. I say a ruler because those lids have a down tube. It may also be the poppit, and there's a way to test that too.

When I am filling bottles, there is almost always a half-full bottle at the end. I add tap water. This is different because the yeast then work on the priming sugar, but it often turns out to be an amazing sample.

Can you please post a picture of the damaged Vevor?

Two more examples: 1) Tiktok and Amazon echo and Siri listen to voices. For tiktok, even when the app is closed. It will then brazenly offer tiktok videos mathing keywords to the T, just like your Vevor experience. Stay away from these! 2) A major email company (sounds like Yeehaw!) openly...

9% is a lot and burns suck!! But you know both of those things. Glad you are well enough to be home to recover now.

When I did an extract batch, I boiled the hops as normal and then added the liquid malt extract at flameout. It's thick and it mixes in easier when heated, and meanwhile won't burn at the bottom if you pour it in with the flame on. You could probably dump it into the fermenter, but it will sit...
