Very pleased.... This is the first (and only) glass i poured so there is lots of yeast in it. It has yet to complete lager conditioning but seems quite tasty and full of grape aromas. It does feel a bit "grassy" because of prolonged dry hopping (.....long story :drunk:) but i expect it to be...

The exact thing happened to me 4 days ago. Purged with Co2 the day after that. :p I think it will be a great beer nevertheless.

I got the base model with a shaft upgrade. Works great and gives me +80% efficiency every time. If i were to buy another one i 'd go for the 2D.

I' ve never had a "Blue Moon" but after reading all these positive comments i know i HAVE to give it a shot! I am changing my brewing schedule so that i will be able to brew it in a month or so (will be hotter over here till then). What i wanted to ask is this.... how about using some Bergamot...

Confirmed!! I just transfered to secondary 30 min ago and i am about to toss in the hop bag for a 2 weeks dry hopping period. For an improvised simple recipe i am already pleased :mug:.

I have a 30lt electric kettle with a 1800 Watt element (not of an immersion type as it is built in under the kettle). Since the price that the manufacturer is giving me for substituting the 1800 with a 2000 Watt element (so that i will gain only 200 watts) is practically identical, do you think...

Brewed this yesterday as an experiment. I' ll see how it turns out and begin tweaking from there (adding some Saaz is a nice thought). I sure hope it turns out at least ....drinkable:drunk: What do you think? Tomorrow am brewing Edworts Bee Cave APA and after that Brads Jack The RIPA (i am still...

Yes i was dubious about using that kind of a filter in a line with such pressure (but if i am said it has been tested i will have to consider it). As about the "second" choice, it has already been said that it's very highly priced for what it claims to offer (i am not THAT paranoid :p :p).

Do you mean something like this one? http://www.northernbrewer.com/default/in-line-sanitary-filter.html

starsan in the co2 line before purging..........yup thats a nice advise!! I'll definitely do it!

.........but still a question:confused: Today i received my kegging system (NC keg with.....CC fittings:mad::mad:). Complete with a nice pressure gauge (had my eyes on it for a loong time :p:p:p) What i am asking has in fact already been answered in the past but i thought it wouldnt hurt...

Yes, thats about the price if you are paying in Dollars. Things are a bit better for me cause i pay in Euro which has a better value vs UK pound (i will grab the hops from a UK shop among some other little things). I have actually scaled down the recipe to 18 liters for this time. But regardless...

That was fast! Thanks a lot. I think i am going to enjoy this one..!

What kind of hop additions would you suggest if cost wasnt an issue for just one "J.T.R." batch? (cant find Galena, should i go E.K.G. all the way?). Thanks.

Works great under wine!

simple and "fool proof" :) Will try something like that, thanks!

Within 4-5 days I will receive some fresh hops in cones that I ordered from Germany (Spalt select, Perle and Tettnanger).:ban: It seems like a good idea to make a batch before putting them in deep freeze but I am a bit low on special malts as I only have Pills, Crystal (77L), Vienna, smoked...

Unfortunately ............ Fermentation is still stuck after 9 days and after pitching my very last S04. What i did though (after seeing that re-pitching had no effect) was that i bottled three samples, two with priming sugar and one without. After opening them today (too soon i know) i found...

After swirling gently (nice tip!), procuring lower temperature conditions and threatening i wouldn't hesitate to use my very last s04 (doubt there is another one in the whole country :p) Brix dropped by 0,5 so it went from 8,0 to 7,5 in a day :mug: Do you think that using yeast nutrient tablets...

yup i racked too early being misled by some discussion about standard Muntons Yeast (wont do it again :p). I will try to lower the temperature a bit (time to fix that digital thermostat) and swirl gently the yeast cake. Love the challenge, hate the fact i had high expectations about this...
