That's kind of my problem. I don't like just adding bourbon to the beer, it's not tasting the same. That was one of my questions for others; do they feel the same way about the taste or is it maybe just me?

I've gone from 1 month to 4 months on oak cubes. Without actually adding any bourbon directly to the aging beer the oak cubes don't have enough bourbon in them to impart the flavor. I've soaked oak cubes in bourbon for a month before using them and it's still not enough. Not much of a...

I've tried a few bourbon barrel aging attempts with varying amounts of oak cubes and bourbon. While the imperial stouts themselves turn out good, the bourbon barrel part seems to be ruining them for me. They have an after taste which is just like adding some bourbon to a glass of beer. What I...

Thanks Inkbird, you're the best. I'm in.

Count me in. Thanks!

Count me in. My little space heater is giving out, so perfect timing.

I'm interested. Is there a page somewhere that has more details about it?

Just throwing this out there. As others have said, barley is sown at a rate of 60 to 90 pounds per acre, which translates into about a half-pound to 3/4 pound per 10 x 10 foot plot. You can calculate how much you will need by pacing off the area and doing the math. A 1 gallon batch you'll...

Thanks Inkbird.

I've been using BrewFather since I started brewing last year. I really like the interface and found it to be rather intuitive. The only thing I found to be frustrating is the PH calculation. I've yet to hit my target PH. I got Bru'n Water spreadsheet and went back to the last few batches to...

Now we know which one married up :lol: My wife has a list of those mistakes on me ... you're not alone.

Let's try the recipe again. Apparently the one I used to copy from was somewhat of a template so some of the items were a little off. I've updated the original recipe.

I missed that when I posted. The software doesn't calculate fresh hops so it's thinking they are dried whole hops. I've updated those numbers to reflect what it should be using dried hops. Thanks

I'm going to try a wet hop harvest style ale soon. My second year hops are producing a good crop and my Cascade hops are going crazy so I'm going to use those for this beer. What do you think? Harvest Day Ale American Pale Ale 5.3% / 13.3 °P All Grain BIAB (Batch Sparge) 5 Gal 75% efficiency...

LOL, that's exactly what I find myself doing which is why I wondered if there were people that just put the whole thing in there at once and stirred like a banshee.

I've been using one of those. SO much better than a mash paddle or spoon.

I've been pouring and stirring when mashing in with BIAB, but I've caught glimpses of people where it looked like they crushed their grain directly in the bag and then dropped it all in the mash and then stirred. What do you do?

I have hops growing in the garden. I want to do a wet hop beer this fall. I would love to do one like Founders Harvest Ale but can’t find any recipes. For wet hopping I have cascade, centennial, chinook and Comet. Any suggestions on a good recipe?

Has anyone tried dry hopping in cold temps? Like around 38 degrees. If you have what styles have you tried it with and how did it turn out? I received the following article in my email this week, I found it interesting and thinking of giving it a try. Rethinking Dry Hops: Quicker, Colder …...
