I started off blindly just adding "Burton Salts" As an engineer and former industrial chemist, that was only me being lazy and lacking a decent analysis of my water at home. Now being less lazy and got the water reports from the city. One one overseas trip I read the entire Brewer's...

I've done this, but I used corn sugar in the keg and basically bottle-carbed it 5 gallons at a shot. Put in the sugar, rack the beer into it, give it a quick hit of CO2 to seal the lid and let it sit.

I go away for work for 2+ months at a shot 3x a year, so I usually brew a Lager right before leaving, and my wife runs the temp profile for me (SS Brewtech Conical, with FTSS using my freezer as a cold glycol source) 2 batches of Bohemian Pilsner, one Munich Helles this year. I tend to do my...

Having done more reading, pressure swing distillation may work but normally is used to remove water from ethanol.

There's a YouTube channel called NurdRage. He's a chemist who often does vacuum separation of aziotropes. He may know how to do this, if possible.

Pull a vacuum and vacuum remove (don't condense, then it's not distilling) the alcohol. I don't have my chemical engineering books handy, but that may drop the temp to a more reasonable level. Sanke Kegs may be able to hold a vacuum. Not sure on Cornys. The question is, what else has a BP/BT...

USA I wish the Lambic I am making is as good in a year as I hope it will be.

Everything is on time delay out here. What the hell was wrong with the Pats?

Also, Barley Crushers are on sale on the Barley Crusher website. Mine was $118 with shipping which was cheaper than any place I saw them online.

Bought a Barley Crusher. My old unadjustable mill (.045) isn't fine enough crush for the Gluten Free Lambic I'm brewing when I get home.

After more research, I have changed to the following Partial Mash In the Mash: 5 pounds pale millet malt 2 pounds goldfinch millet malt Amalayse Enzyme In the Boil Kettle: 3.3 Pounds Breissweet Sorghum Syrup 30 minute 0.5 Oz Age Willamette At flame out 1 pound light Belgian Candy Sugar Works...

A 20 gallon boil kettle, or a Keggle that hasn't been touched yet so I can customize it the way I want

I have posted over the GF side, but figured might get seen by more people here. Wife has dietary restrictions limiting wheat intake but not Celiacs. Trace gluten from yeast/dregs/etc shouldn't be a problem. Will throw some Clarity Ferm in there as a precaution. I'm currently working on the...

Maybe go 1/3 Millet? I have a 3 vessel electric HERMS system, but my false bottoms are set up for Barley based brewing.

No ****, I just looked on facebook and he was at The Bog in Pocasset last night.

Ah. AFN changes all commercials to hokey ass Public Service Announcements. In semi related news, a Coastie friend is TAD on Cape Cod. Any brewpubs he should check out? He's been introduced to good US beer, and we've had a lot of good Polish beer he brings back. (Born in Poland...

I'm overseas. WTF is this Dilly Dilly? I'm seeing it everywhere. Homebrew forums. Aviation forums. Gun forums. Motorcycle Forums. Due to the most glorious programming provided by AFN, we don't get much pop culture because everything is edited. Except MSNBC and the Today Show.

So I'm starting to actually do a recipe workup in BeerSmith for this. As of now, for a 5 gallon finished batch 9.9 (3 cans) of BreisSweet White Sorghum Syrup .75 oz Willamette (30 minute). They are 3 year old hops. Wyeast 3278 Lambic Blend Primary for about a month at 70-75 Rack onto 5...

I'm thankful for starting a new career in January, which will hopefully make this the last holiday season I spend in Afghanistan, ever.
