Thanks. I hope so. I have a great idea in my head, and as long as I can make it happen, it should be good. It's going be to be a slow process, I work full time with the fire department and im in the national guard. I live in Columbia SC, and have been out working the floods and will be out...

well I've been swarmed, and I finally got all the brews bottled and moved from the closet so I can actually start.managed to get a little done. Took longer than expected. Since I'm only using reclaimed wood, the pieces aren't perfect so I'm having to figure it out as I go.

I do have 2 cases of the brew that is still sitting in my closet, hasn't seen the fridge yet. I will throw one in for a few days and try it.

Carbonation is good

Thanks for the info guys(or gals). This is all a learning experience for me and the info is helping me further understand what I'm doing

That's the exact article I was just in the middle of reading. Haha

Well, like I said. The clarity isn't my concern, it's the yeast flavor. I figured secondary would let any yeast, that did make it out of primary, settle out

Hmmm. Guess I need to invest in a secondary. Is there any chance it will settle out or get better over time? with this being my first all grain, it's all just a learning experience. It was also the first time I used the big mouth with the spigot.

I guess my biggest concern is the yeast flavor. I couldn't care less how it looks. I just want it to taste better/less yeast

Even after being in the fridge for 2 weeks? I also have half the batch still In the closet that haven't seen the fridge yet. I haven't tried any of those yet. Only the ones that have been in the fridge for the last 2 weeks

I brewed an all grain, 5 gallon Summer Ale (Sam Adams summer ale clone). It was in primary for 3 weeks. I have a big mouth bubbler with a spout for my fermentor. After sanitizing everything, I transferred from the big mouth to a bottling bucket, added my priming sugar as usual, and bottled. So...

Yea I understand: what I ended up doing was finding someone with a 2 gram packaging of the Grains of Paradise, and just filled the measuring spoons to find what the 2 grams would fill. I know it's not going to fill the measuring spoons perfectly but it gave me a close enough comparison to feel...

Haha perfect. Seems like I got a lot of good info that has all been consistent so I'm confident that I added the proper amount. I did the brew last night. Smelled amazing.

Haha yea it's a spice.

And I'm going to assume crushed or cracked. I wouldn't think you wouldn't get much from whole

And if you have 2grams. I can just see what you have and double or increase as needed. That's what I'm looking for through. What does your 2 grams fill as far as measuring spoons lol.

Well. The recipe is a 5g batch. I have the grains but it's bulk. So it's a few OZs.

Yea I know t doesn't convert, that's why I posted so I could see if someone has the number already lol

I am making a summer ale that calls for grains of paradise. In the recipe, it is measured in grams. What would be a general idea of how much to add if I needed 4 grams? (1/4 teaspoon, 1/2? Ect.)
