I would start with DOT.

You won't be able to get it re-filled until an h-test has been done. If your tank is currently full, use it up, it will be fine. I get my tanks serviced at the local fire extinguisher company. They are the cheapest alternative in my area.

Bump!

I recently brewed a Chimay Grande Reserve clone that called for 1.5lb of dark Belgian candy sugar. With the addition of the sugar the color of the beer was suppose to be in the 34 SRM range. Well, after 3 weeks of fermentation I took a sample and have reached my FG, and the beer tastes great...

I'm 3 weeks into fermentation and I reached my FG without needing a second dose of yeast. Tastes great but my color is way off. My 1st brew that the color is off and my first brew using dark candy sugar so I'm thinking I'm not getting 275 SRM from the candy sugar. I bought my sugar from...

This is a really good thread guys. I had simular questions regarding my sparge water temps and they were answered here. I thought I would bump this thread to the top. Cheers.

Just curious, what levels you are carbing this beer? I have put this recipe into beersmith and will be brewing this up this weekend. Beersmith is giving me a carb vol of (.8 - 1.3) in the English Pale Ale 6.6 category. Seems low to me. Also, after toasting the base malt are you letting the...

I have 11 batches under my belt and all but one have exceeded my expectations. The one that didn't, I had a sparge issue. My stainless, braided filter collapsed and I had zero flow. I spend hours trying to resolve the problem and in the end I had to abort and toss the batch. Needless to say, I...

Did you ever get around to brewing this? I'm thinking of giving it a go.

Thanks for the tips. I have adjusted my hop schedule as per your advise and bumped my mash to 156F as I agree on the mouth feel of an oatmeal stout. Cheers!

I appreciate the feedback. My concern is that this is a "Cornelius Style" tank and not a Cornelius brand tank. I don't mind buying used if I know I am getting a quality tank. I live in Canada and will be getting all my kegging equipment shipped to a US address. In other words, I want to get it...

I'm in the process of buying all the equipment to start kegging and I stumbled across this deal. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. http://www.homebrewing.org/NEW-5-Gallon-Cornelious-Keg-Ball-Lock-_p_2894.html

11 Gal of oatmeal stout on Saturday. Probably my last brew of the year. :(

Bump!

With winter nearing here in the GWN I am more than likely brewing my last batch of beer for the year. The plan is to try to get rid of my current inventory. I have come up with an oatmeal stout recipe and would appreciate your thoughts and recommendations. If I have to pick up a few things to...

I always leave in primary for a minimum of 3 weeks (usually closer to 4), then bottle or send to secondary depending on the style.

Update. I bottled after 23 days in primary, carbed up to 2.8 volumes and conditioned for 4 weeks before I tried it. OMG, this beer is so friggen good. Great mouth feel and just enough banana that it doesn't overwhelm you. It's been a while since I have had a Franziskaner so I'm not sure how...

I cracked open my 1st bottle tonight and it is delish. Very impressed. I carbed it up to 2.3 volumes and it is perfect, head retention is outstanding. My batch came out at 5.1%. A great session beer that I will brew again and again. Thanks to OP for this recipe. Cheers.

Very nice! Great job!

I bottled this up today and had a taste. It was very good! I can't wait for a few weeks to try it carbed up!
