It says on northern brewer not to use more than 1/4 lb per 5 gallon batch. Is there any particular reason for this?

ok. I guess your right, I just would like to know how he came up with this recipe.

Well, I was digging through a friend's experimental recipes, and found a recipe for a 5 gallon extract batch that I can't even start to classify what it might be. Maybe you guys can put a name on it, I brewed it because other than the Special B and Columbus I had the rest of the stuff lying...

I've never used Wyeast, but with White Labs, I can tell you that if you have an OG less than 1.065, you should see fermentation within less than 10 hrs if your temperature is in the correct range for the strain of yeast. This is in reference to both making a starter, and pitching straight into...

My bad, I neglected to put the 15 and 5 minute hops. Fixed

They noted in the article that they only used a 45 min boil.

Ended up Mixing 2lb honey, 1 lb extra light dme, and 8 oz water. Boiled, let cool over night, roused yeast and pitched. SG rose from 1.010 (estimated FG was around 1.006) to 1.020, my new estimated FG will be around 1.010-012. Fermentation that appeared to be stalled @ 1.010 is now bubbling away.

I guess this is the juncture where I eat my words. However, I do hand it to the wings for a great show, they are by far the best team in the NHL and it is no surprise they won the cup this year. Atleast I can start worrying about the steelers now, it seemed kind of late in the year to be...

Ditto, I used galena to bitter my newest pale ale (Cascade for aroma of course). It tasted phenominal racking to secondary I could only imagine what it'll be like after its bottled/carbed/ready to drink a month from now.

Doubtful, the wings are on their heels, they may as well just send the cup back to detroit so the pens can pick it up after game 7. I wouldn't waste your money on champagne unless you plan on drinking it with the pens on saturday.

I'm planning on mixing 1lb honey, and 1 lb light dme mixed with .5 lb of water (7.7oz where I live), (SG 1.016) bringing it to a boil for 1 min, cooling overnight in a sterilized jar, dumping into my secondary, slightly rousing the yeast and racking on to that mixture.

They are awesome, I just bought the olive drab stainless model about a month ago, have put about 200 through since then (50/week) I love this gun. I also have a para ordinance warthawg for cc thats probably on about 1k or so, if you like the PT 1911, you'll definetly like the warthog, I'm a big...

I'd be willing to bet I have enough yeast, I pitched one a rehydrated danstar nottingham, and added too much water with this, I'm pretty sure if I feed the yeast a little more it will get back to work.

Thanks for the help, do you think making a little mini wort with some dry amber extract might improve this, or is it too late to add any extract?

Around 1:30am Eastern Time.

Ok, I have a overly watery nut brown ale thats getting ready to go to secondary within a few days. I have recently run into a cheap supplier of local honey that would be willing to donate some in exchange for some beer (a 12 pk or so). My question is this: If I were to heat/cool (sterilize)...

Thanks for your help. It's about a 40 min drive to my homebrew store and was trying to avoid it due to the cost in gas (and I told myself the next time I buy anything at the homebrew store, I'm buying another carboy for some apfelwein/assorted fruit-beer concoctions), but now that you put it...
