Has anyone else not received their glass yet? I believe that I sent in my stuff in July some time so it has been well over the 11 weeks. Wonder if they ran out or something.

Are you in the primary yet? I am still chilling. Currently down to 100. Did a yeast starter for the first time today. Still debating whether to decant it before pitching.

Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champs. No doubt in my mind. Gotta love Uncle Rico!

I kind of keep notes, but they aren't very organized. Normally I take the invoice from the order and jot down some notes. I really need to try and log everything in one place. Also, I haven't tried any of my own recipes as of yet. I will usually tweak an existing recipe here and there, but...

Man that sounds good. I am about 30 minutes away from boil. Screwed up my mashtun capacity calculation and need a second sparge. Doesn't look like I will get this wrapped up before football starts.

Did you have any thing in mind or were you just going to wing it?

So what is everyone brewing today? I am making a 10 gallon batch of an English Brown. I doughed in around 8:45 this morning. Life is good!

Hey Bernerbrau, I was the one that had the brew day with IP back in July. We didn't end up brewing your recipe, but brewed this one instead: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/great-lakes-christmas-ale-recipe-127498/#post1429493. It isn't real similar, but it is a holiday ale. I ended up bottling...

I stumbled upon this thread about two months ago while looking for a Christmas Ale Recipe. Long story short, I split a 10 gal batch of this recipe with Irregularpulse on a brewday in late June. I will probably bottle/keg this week and let it sit until holiday season. While taking a FG reading...

They are all really good..all though I haven't tried the Monster yet.

I see that you already listed the Great Lakes Brewing Company "Lake Erie Monster". Although I am sure that it is a great beer, spring for the Dortmunder Gold. It is their signature beer.

I have been playing with Brewtarget for the past few months in preparation for making the jump to AG brewing. Over the weekend I made a 10 Gallon batch of Biermuncher's Cream of 3 Crops Cream Ale and was nearly "spot on" in hitting my gravities with the help of Brewtarget. The recipe estimated...

What is the difference between the pin and ball disconnect, and which one is better?

Being new to kegging, I am trying to purchase some parts (Liquid Ball Lock disconnect) for my Corny keg, but am not sure how to tell what type of keg I have (Type A, Type B, Type C, etc). Looking at the keg, I didn't see any identification markings that indicate the type. Is there a stardard...

Does anyone see an issue with keeping the cider on the yeast for 2+ month's? I have done this with beer before without any impact to the flavor.

I suppose that an infection could have been possible. I actually threw out some of the bottles before using them because there was some bacteria in the bottom. I stabilized the yeast before bottling, so the cider is still.

I don't have any, but can pick some up. Do you know where the ph should be?

Yes..it is still 1.008

I made a batch of apple wine and a batch of hard cider in September. The wine turned out great and is now aging. The cider, on the other hand, didn't turn out so great. The recipe I used for the cider is below: -6 gallons of fresh pressed cider. -White labs 'English Cider Yeast' -Juice from 1...
