Another thing is an ice bath. Use this to cool your wort. Or invest in a wort chiller. You want to cool the wort as fast as possible so there is as little contact with the air as possible. Letting it sit out and cool for eight hours is wayyyyyy too long! You may even experience an off flavor...

A brewery by me does a pepper beer. Not sure what type they use, but its tasty. I would say make a simple blonde ale and add the roasted peppers to your secondary. Let it sit for a week and sample it

I made a strawberry blonde that I had rave reviews about. It sat in secondary on the fruit for a week. I did purée the fruit tho, so not sure if whole fruit would take longer. Than it sat in the bottle for three weeks before opening. Great flavor. Not over powering at all

The beer isn't that bitter. IMO. It's a great stout!! U could always substitute, but I love it! It has a great flavor!!

Well since he's not into it anymore tell him u will take his equipment and use it. Y just let a beer sit there?? As for the beer???? It's prob not any good seeing as the airlock is dried nobly one way to find out. Take a small sample and taste it. That way u won't waste the time kegging and...

I'd say smack the crap out of him for letting it sit and not keeping an eye on it!!

I dunk and dry them. They only have to sit upside down for a few minutes.

I say bottle away. I went out and bought a stainless steel strainer that I use. For me, when I'm dry hopping I don't transfer at all. I strain before kegging and also before I transfer into my bottling bucket. Gets out as much of the gunk as it can

What did u decide to brew??

Exploded in fermentation. Had to use blow off everytime for at least two days! This beer has excellent roasty and chocolate flavored!

I've never tested it. Lol. I base my brewing off of feel look and tastes. I'm not professional so therefore I tweak my beers with each batch until I find something I like. I've had great results brewing with out taking readings. Guess its a little old school brewing!!

Also if anyone makes this please let me know your thoughts!! This has become my new fav beer!!

I have some great recipes for stouts....all will be ready three or four weeks. Chocolate vanilla java, brown sugar oatmeal, or a jet black chocolate based stout I call the obsidian. Let me know if u want recipes

I went to adventures and talked to them about this subject. I ended up putting two pounds of honey in my double ipa. Remember that adding honey will raise abv, as it is like 98% ferment able. Adding honey in the last 10-15 min of boil will work. But if your looking to have a more pronounced...
