How bout some 22 oz Dreadnaught? I would love to try HT, provided it's fresh. PM me if you're interested. Brobeman

Hi Slarkin, Thanks or the post, and you're correct. I made a cut and paste error from another thread. I hit an original gravity of 1.081 (without the sugar) and am expecting a final gravity of 1.012 and have edited my original post accordingly. I appreciate the advise on the sugar and will...

I brewed Jamil Z's Strict Observance Belgian Tripel from his book Brewing Classic Styles. This is approximately what I started with: Batch Size: 5.25 gal Style: Belgian Tripel (18C) Boil Size: 7.75 gal Boil Time: 90 min OG (without sugar added): 1.081 Estimated FG: 1.012 Mash Profile...

Thanks Mack. I will give that a try. Brobeman

Hi BigEd, Through conversations with others I think I had ruled out hop schedule. The recipes in question are the all grain Zombie Dust thread located here on this board, and the Green Flash and Union Jack are from Jamil's Can You Brew It show. In all cases I have followed the recipes to the...

Been brewing for about a year now and have several successful brews behind me. The only issue I'm having is what appears to be low hop utilization when brewing IPA's. I've got Zombie Dust, Union Jack, and Green Flash West Coast clones on tap right now and although they're all "pretty" good...

You're good. If C02 is coming out, no air gets in. Some people don't even seal the lid. RDWHAHB. Brove

My kids are using my portable kegerator at a festival today and are selling rootbeer from half barrel. Never pushed soda before. Any suggestions on where I should set the regulator? Brobe

Still love wine, commercial beer, hunting, shooting, politics, motorcycles, cigars, food, and travel. If only I could figure out how to combine them all.

And without their distribution networks we would all be limited to local or regional selections. With crafts taking more and more marketshare I am more concerned with th big brewers continuing to buy out and dumb down some of the better mid sized brewers. Although, so far so good with GOOSE...

Thanks, I'll go that route. It's actually more like 7 gallons now though. My friends didn't seem to mind the Zombie Dust all that much last night.

No slick mouthfeel that I've noticed, but I've never had something I know to be Diacetyl so have no clear point of reference. If warming over the weekend doesn't work I'm going to split a pack of 1967 and brew a small batch with similar gravity to mix and pitch into the kegs.

The brew was all grain and I had what I would call a medium boil. I just stopped by Northern Brewer and the opinion on the Zombie Dust was that it's actually a good clone. They too noticed the weird sweetness on the mid-plate, but nobody thought it was diacetyl. The only suggestion offered...

From what I understand, no. It does come from colder fermentation temps where the yeast are not vigorous enough to clean it up. With the colder fermentation temps required for lager yeasts it is necessary to warm them up a few days before racking.

I hadn't considered oxidization, but maybe that's it. I've got a bottle that I'm going to run by the Northern Brewer this afternoon for some expert opinion. Other than whirlpooling my wort over my immersion chiller during cooling I don't touch my hot wort. I keg, and always bleed off a few...

I'm pretty new to brewing but have been all grain for the last 3 months or so. I brewed an extract Pliny the Elder kit from Austin HB early on that started out great, but ended up with a taste that I couldn't stand. Not sure how to describe it, other than it's kind of a toasted caramel flavor...

Bumping this once to see if I can get any guidance from those in the know.

I too just boil In a pot then transfer via funnel to my flask. Seems to me it's a lot easier washing a pot than trying to mess with getting the dme into the flask.

Thanks for doing all the legwork and sharing. I'll brew this next and post my results. Not sure though if I'll be able to fill the hop bill. Regards, Brobeman
