I’ve used grogtag.com to make custom caps and they look great. I’m guessing it should be easy to make custom caps similar to what you saw. Most beer competitions require/want silver caps. So if you bottle a beer with your custom Arizona caps just cap 3 to 6 bottles with silver caps so you have...

So I received my Tapcooler bottle filler last week. Today I had some time to try it out. Murphy’s Keg law allowed me to fill one bottle and then when filling bottle number two, the keg kicked. So my review is with a very small sample size. I own a Last Straw Bottle filler so that is what I’m...

First let me say I don’t fully understand all of this. But looking at the chart my first thought was mash pH is lower than wort pH because wort pH includes sparge water which I’m guessing would raise the pH. Maybe the labels should be Mash pH and Pre-Boil pH.

I ordered one. I have one of these that I use for pressure transfers. I figure this should work since the ball lock adapter is sold out. https://www.amazon.com/PET-Bottles-Beer-Carbonation-Cap/dp/B07NYV5NB2/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_79_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=9R38CCCZR0S1ETZWA0NF I hope this...

Can you describe your setup, kettle size, indoor kitchen stovetop, outdoor propane etc. etc. give an example of a recent brew with your mash volume and how much water you are spaging with. That will help people give you better advise. As an example, I have a 8 gallon electric BIAB system...

The best thing to do is pull a 1 cup sample of the beer and stir in measured amounts of the syrup until you achieve the flavor you want. Then calculate how much you need to flavor your keg. When the beer is carbonated you may loose some of the perceived sweetness. The reason you are not...

I brew a hoppy Belgian ale with M31. I think using your slurry will also work. Low temps and a healthy pitch should suppress esters. T-58 is a good year but does not atennuate well so you have to keep that in mind.

Thanks!

So my local wine making store closed and I’m in need of some advice. I made a wine from Sangiovese and Syrah grapes I picked from a local vineyard last year. Added Campden Tablets before fermentation and then added 1 campden tablet per gallon when I racked the wine on August 5, 2018 for long...

I know you have already brewed this beer. T-58 is another yeast to consider. Not as eatery as other Belgian yeasts but it does not attenuate as much as other yeasts.

I think your best bet is 34C Experimental Beer. Oreo Cookies are not a spice herb or vegetable in my opinion. The other problem with putting it in SHV is the base beer is supposed to be a BJCP category beer. There is not a category for an Imperial Sweet Stout.

https://spikebrewing.com/blogs/ask-a-pro/dry-hop-temperatures http://brulosophy.com/2016/01/18/dry-hop-temperature-warm-vs-cool-exbeeriment-results/ There will be a difference. This may not be a bad thing though

I’m pretty sure you will have to list the base beer, fruit, yeast and bacteria. Usually you will have limited space to do this in so you may have to abbreviate. For your base beer if it matches a BJCP style use the category number. If you say Abbey Ale as a judge I interpret that to be a...

I have a brew jacket and it works well. It does not cool or heat things fast so it is still important to be close to your pitching temperature. The noise is the sound of a large computer fan so it is not too load but definitely noticeable. The fan is drawing the heat from the fermenting beer...

https://blog.kegoutlet.com/brewing-a-white-stout-the-recipe/ https://blog.kegoutlet.com/brewing-a-white-stout-the-results-and-takeaways/ I used this recipe as the base for my white stout. I did not use any smoked malt though. I recommend dry beaning the coffee. I judged coffee beers last year...

Here is my “table” Saison recipe. It is actually the grain bill for Local Buzz from Four Corners. Not sure where you are located but since you referenced JK figure you may be in Texas. Years ago I toured Four Corners and the brewer let me have the recipe for Local Buzz. Last summer I decided to...

Cryo hops are not supposed to have any of the grassy/veg flavor aromas. You did not mention if you bottle or keg. Ive had good results keg hopping which would probably fall under the cold dry hop category. Search IPL (India pale lagers) recipes and see what they typically do for dry hopping.

Usually you Have limited space to describe your beer. So you may have to cram a lot in with abbreviations. I would give the style number instead of saying brown ale since there is an American and a British brown ale. Maybe something like: Imperial version of 19c w/ peanut butter

I used whole beans. Starting with 4oz and adding more sounds like a good plan. People’s perception of coffee varies greatly.
