    Counter Flow Questions

    Yes you do otherwise it will clog and you will have a very heavy pot full of near boiling liquid (ask me how I know this). use a hop bag and then just whirl pool for the hot break and you should be fine that is what I normally do anyways.

    What would cause a beer to taste like feet?

    I have a pretty good idea what vinegar tastes like and it is not this. This is like funky like lick between the toes feet and not like vinegar. I think it would go well with some really funky soft cheese, sadly tho I just finished the last bottle as we only found 2 of them yesterday and I had...

    What would cause a beer to taste like feet?

    I enjoy the beer, but it tastes like feet. It is a simple amber and all the equip used on it was used before this batch and after with no ill tasting effects. I am puzzled the only thing that was different was that it used gelatin to clean it up which worked great but it has a nice taste of an...

    Help me with this Biere de Garde

    by lighter do you mean in color? taste? abv? the estimated OG is 1.073 which is pretty high for abv. also the color will be on the copper side if I got it correct. Also if Saazz are the way to go to finish I might need to go the the lhbs again.

I was planing on following what I have up...

    Southern Tier Creme Brule stout Clone

    I have been giving it to friends lately and I have been getting rave reviews from all but one (Sagan on HBT). The only bad review was that it needed to mellow and that the vanilla is cloying right now. I might crack one tonight so I will get back later.
