While I was waiting for your reply I read through the whole thread and found my answer to the yeast. I also saw you switched some hops up as well. What recipe a you rolling with now a days?

Dumpsterboy, Plan to brew this on the fourth. A couple questions. Is there any reason why you deviated from what is listed on Ithaca's website for the hops and malts? I know it's not a huge difference, but I was wondering if you tried that originally and switched a couple items as you saw fit...

Havent brewed this yet, but I would think its a good place to start. From Extreme Brewing by Sam Calagione 8 lbs light liquid malt extract (75 minutes) 2 lbs clover honey (75 minutes) 0.25 ounce Simcoe (60 minutes) 10 saffron threads (end of boil) White labs wlp001 or wyeast 1056 1 quart...

Surprised me too. I typically do not have problems with clarity. It was my first time using 002.

I brewed this kit a while back and had similar results. Very disappointing when spending that much money. I originally attributed the error to it being my second AG batch. However, my first and third batches were fine. Not to mention you seem to be experiencing a similar profile. I am having...

I just used white labs 002 in my batch. Came out great. Everyone who try's it thinks its great. Only complaint is its a little more cloudy then I had wanted, but it's only an appearance thing. I will definitely be making it again soon using wyeast to see if there is a significant difference.

For those of you looking for the latest version. (Without honey) http://dubbeldachs.com/recipes_watermelon.htm#5

If you are looking for a good place to start with an apricot beer you should try northern brewer's apricot blonde. I think it's part of the master brewer series by breakwater??? Regardless, it's we're I started and I agree with what you said about the tartness. This is going to break your heart...

DubbelDach, Looking to brew this next weekend. Just wondering what the final verdict on the recipe is. I read early on a couple things about dropping the honey, maybe switching the grain bill a little. In your experience, am I better to stick with the OP or revising it slightly? If I were to...

I was not planning to ship this item if I decided to part with it. Not only is it an awkward shape for proper packaging, but it's close to 15lbs of liquid in a glass bottle. I feel like there would be a high probability of damage to this item during shipping and really don't want to deal with it.

I won this through a raffle at a beerfest just last weekend. I know little about Chimay and even less about there big bottles. I am also uncertain as if the vintage adds any value. So the question is what's this thing worth? Thanks in advance.

Wyoming valley homebrewers meetings are held the first Monday of the month at 7pm, unless that Monday falls on a holiday then they meet the following Monday at Sabatini's in Exeter. I have yet to attend, but maybe July will be my first. I will be out of town tomorrow...

I will be in Pittsburgh this upcoming week for a conference. I'm looking to the locals to give me an insiders advantage of the must see locations while I am there. It will be the first time in Pittsburgh in awhile. Bars, breweries, brew pubs, bottle shops, etc.. Great places to eat for lunch...

Here is a website with common building materials corresponding R-values. http://www.allwallsystem.com/design/RValueTable.html Notice all insulation material is greater than the 2" thick soft wood (pine) at 1" in thickness. I don't know how to quantify how long it would take to pay for itself...

I had a 2x4 pine collar on mine last year. It was in my father's shop where the temperatures where a little harsh during summer. I never noticed any kind of condensation on the wood, even on the hottest days (the days where it would condensate instantly on the faucets). However, it could of been...

I plugged this into beersmith to give you an idea. Used wyeast 1056 as the yeast and a package date of today. Yeast cells without starter - 96 billion Yeast cells with 1l starter - 149 billion Yeast cells with 2l starter - 202 billion Hope this helps.

I have used wyeast 1056 for a couple years now. Lately, in the past six months or so, I have noticed it has become significantly aggressive. When making 1L starters in a 2L flask, if I use a stir plate it's crazy. Even without a stir plate I have problems keeping it under control. I can barely...

Looking for a blichmann beer gun with all necessary attachments to bottle. Saw one sell for $65 plus shipping costs on HBT recently. Hoping to get one near that price.

I'm interested.
