Congrats Talldan. I’ll send shortly, hopefully not to long of a wait, and let you know when it is on the way.

Although tedious you can dose each bottle then fill the bottle with beers

Wait until after fermentation. Once it is ready to bottle/keg I add my spices for 3 days... if it is your first time taste everyday and cold crash or package once you have the flavor you want.

Thanks for your help stimulating the economy!

You could also add some vanilla, adds some perceived sweetness. doing this with oak has worked for me.

5 gallons holiday Baltic porter 5 gallons Irish red 6763.5

Or bottle separately and mix at drinking time

I would do a blonde ale, Scottish ale (can be dark but not bitter), red ale and a porter. agree keep it light and know the crowd.

Dawg pound

Well, it took awhile but I finally forgot to update my roster... gonna be hard to win this week

Imperial Red is on my list, may be one for you as well. I love ambers and iipa’s and this should be a good combination of those two...

Getting ready to throw on a brisket... picture later

Just finishing a batch as well. Kirklands Apple juice and notty. did trial batches of notty and 71b and nottyhas more apple flavor, slight sweetness and less wine taste

+7 gals store juice 633.5

I have a 7 cu ft freezer from costco. Holds both my 6 gal and 7 gal fermonsters plus various 1 gal carboys.

Wife told me to get a hobby.... I started brewing 1 gal batches .... continue to improve and get new equipment. Currently brew on the unibrau and making great beer

If you have a few smaller fermenters you could split this and experiment with different spices

Leave out the oak and bourbon and just do a porter? or play around with spices and do a Christmas porter ( no oak.... bourbon optional)

Agree with all of the above as well. look at your set-up and where you want to go and then decide which steps to take. I went temp control then all grain then electric Within a year and each one helped improve my beers. After that came the kegerator which made Packaging so much easier.
