I need something tasteless. Although I have no personal experience, someone once told me that even though it is less filling it tastes great. ;)

I got the idea from an old Basic Brewing Radio podcast, the only novelty I added into it was to turn it into a party. :mug:

Tasting is very soon, I enough time to Dry hop but that is about it.

here is the short story. I am having a hops tasting party, were the plan is to dry hop a tasteless beer by opening it up putting a few hop pellets in it and then recapping. This way I can easily dry hop with a number of different hops so that we can compare the flavors of each. It was...

Bret, it was nice seeing you again and Josh it was nice to meet you too. (sorry I can't remember your buddys name) Thanks for putting this together, and thanks for the extra rice hulls. -matt

I have been thinking this out a little bit more and am thinking of "serving" it at a dinner party that I have scheduled a couple of weeks from now. My plan is to obtain a variety of hops, and place a small amount (1 pellet? ... 2?) of each into a bottle of Coors Light and let it dry hop for...

i am thinking of giving it a try, so maybe I will use Coors light.

I was listening to an old episode of the podcast Basic Brewing Radio, from May 2006 about hop varieties and they suggested an interesting experiment. They suggested taking a very bland beer, like Budweiser and uncapping a few bottles and placing different hops into each bottle and then...

IO buckets :)

Thanks for all the help thus far. I am going to give batch sparging a try this weekend and see how that works out for me. I have been reading what I can on the procedure and its seems pretty straight forward, I just want to make sure I am on the right path (afterall I have been on the wrong...

So it looks like a false bottom is the way to go. I started to look into them last night and I need to go take a good look at my keggle in order to see what would fit. Most of the ones that I found are for weldless spigot, mine are welded on (a least the portion that they screw into) and I will...

Exactly as described, and have always had varying efficiency, and while I never had great efficiency, the last one was just compeltly outside the norm. I also think I need to describe my manifold a little better. Not sure if it makes much of a difference but the manifold is not really a...

No, that was worded correctly. I empty the mashtun compeletely and then sparge with the sparge arm ontop of the "dry" grain bed. It was my understanding that the sparge arm covered the entire grain bed there by washing the entire grain bed as it filtered down to the bottom were it collected on...

I havn't timed my sparge. As indicated it is a sprinkler style sparge arm. I adjust the flow so that it covers the entire top of the grain bed and let it run until I am out of sparge water. It probably takes about 1/2 hour. I will time it this weekend. I have never measured the PH of my...

I will look into the calibration of my hyrdrometer and thermometer. I have a second Hydrometer that I can compare it to, and probably have a another thermometer to also use as a comparison. For this beer, I crushed my base grain while the specialty grains were crushed for me. (this was...

.... I could use some help figuring out where I am going wrong. I am new to the board, but not new to home brewing having been brewing for about ten years and AG brewing for about six. The problem is that my efficiency rates are all over the place and almost impossible to nail down. My last...

Hi, Just taking a moment to introduce myself. I have been brewing with a buddy of mine, on a consitantly sporadic :) basis for about ten years and have been brewing 10 gallon all grain batches for about the last six or seven years. By "consistantly sporadic", I mean that some years I have...

Hey Bret, Sorry I didn't get back to you regarding the group buy, I checked my storage and I was pretty much maxed out as I don't like to store grains for to long (always afraid they will get wet, attrack vermin or just go stale). Anyway, after checking what I had on hand, I decided this is...
