    Advise on my stout recipe

    Interesting concept if I was bottling but I plan on kegging this brew. I can't stand dealing with bottles.

    Advise on my stout recipe

    I have brewed this oatmeal stout 3 times with great success but I want to try adding some chocolate and perhaps lactose to it and need some advise. I have never used chocolate or lactose so I really don't know how much and when to add it. I have tried to read up on the topic but it seems...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    I brewed this 3 weeks ago and pulled a pint from the keg tonight and it tastes pretty darn good for a light beer. The only change I made to the original recipe was the yeast. I used 1056. I ended up with 4.6% abv. My FIL will really enjoy this. I think some flame out hop additions might be good...

    Is my stir plate going too fast, please respond

    You can still brew tomorrow. Just pitch the yeast on Friday. No big deal there.

    Best way to clean a carboy

    I rinse them out with warm water, then fill it with hot water and OxyClean. Let it sit for a few hours then run the brush on the inside and it comes out spotless.

    What was your first car?

    I had a few cars prior to this one that were given to me by my parents but the first car I purchased was an 84 Mustang SVO, back in the 90's. I took a few years and fully restored it. Ended up selling it when I got married in 2003.

    Cleaning a mash tun with a braid

    This. A quick rinse with water is all that is needed.

    Thoughts on recipe

    Thanks for the advise Yooper/BigEd. I have already brewed this one up but I do plan on taking the advise for my next brew and then taking a side by side comparison of the beers. Hoping this beer isn't too sweet. Cheers.

    Thoughts on recipe

    I have 18 AG brews under my belt and I decided I should try creating my own recipe. I brewed this amber ale up today, what are your thoughts? I tried to keep it simple. Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 7.77 gal Post Boil Volume: 5.98 gal Batch Size (fermenter)...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Brewed this up today. Hit an OG of 1.041. My LHBS was out of US-05 and Nottingham so I went with Wyeast 1056. I didn't make a starter even though BS recommended I did. I figure I should be ok as this is a low gravity beer. Hopefully it all works out.

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    I was looking for a nice, light session brew with a quick turn around to keg and this is it! Brewing this up tomorrow. I have brewed many of BM's recipes with great success. Thanks for the recipe BM! Cheers.

    Help! My keg pours nothing but foam

    I'm just thinking out loud and I could be way off here but we all know that CO2 is heavier than Oxygen. Therefore, all you need is a small blanket of CO2 on the beer. You don't actually need to displace 100% of the oxygen from the keg do you? You could have 10% CO2 and 90% oxygen in the head...

    Canadian Roll Call!!

    Cheers from Winnipeg. I can see there are a few Peggers here, great to see. Anyhow, I brew AG and love it. I'm sipping on a ESB from the keg as I type this. So good! :)

    Strong Bitter Captain Hooked on Bitters (Red Hook Clone & Award Winner)

    I brewed this one up 6 weeks ago and poured my 1st glass from the keg this afternoon. This beer is excellent and will be in my regular rotation. Thanks BierMuncher! So, I ended up carbing this up to 1.9 volumes. Perfect IMO. I have never had the Redhook ESB so I can't say anything regarding how...
