Thanks everyone! I think I will try out citra.... been looking for an excuse to use it anyway. Coconut sounds amazing as well! Any chance you would be willing to share the recipe?

The wife wants me to make a mango beer. I am thinking either a blonde or American wheat would pair nice with the mango flavor. I need some suggestions on what hops you all would pair with this. It's obviously going to be a low IBU beer. I was throwing around trying all citra, but I have never...

I designed a basic template in photoshop that I can just replace the beer name, abv and date. Then I send them to kinkos online, and they print them on standard paper. Pick them up, cut them out, dip in a shallow bowl of milk and stick them on. A short soak in water and the label will fall right...

When you email this thread to your wife at work just to prove that you're not THAT obsessed. ....and in the same email inform her you're buying another chest freezer on craigslist.

Thanks, thats what I was thinking. Great idea on the munich malt, might have to give that a try!

Looking for some advice on fixing my screw up.... On Saturday I brewed a very simple wit. 50% wheat, 50% 2-row. EKG 60 minute hop addition, bitter orange peel and coriander at 5 minutes. Trying out WLP410 for the first time. I was shooting for 11 gallons post boil volume and ended up with...

I don't know for sure having never used either of those, but I would be inclined to add them both after the initial aggressive fermentation is done.

One of our local bars had Boulder's Mojo IPA on nitro not too long ago. It was interesting, almost a creamy taste. I didn't hate it, but I can't say I would seek it out over Co2.

I placed an order last Friday for three full grain bills. Two of them were 10 gallon, one 5 gallon. The FedEx guy dropped it at my door yesterday. 5 Days to grind, pack and ship about 60 lbs of grain is hella good in my book (Not to mention 6.99 shipping!).... If he sold milk and eggs I...

I salvaged my chest freezer from my Mom's basement when she was getting ready to move. Sticker on the back says 1984 and its still rockin strong 2 years later. :rockin: As long as it will still freeze I would say its a safe bet.... Personally, I'm not sure that I would lay down any money on...

I would think that your chances are pretty good.... They are about to start moving their brewery which will be a lot of work. I'm sure they would rather have an unpaid intern do the grunt work and let their regular staff concentrate on the beer making. Like mentioned above I would stop and and...

Thanks for the offer! If I can't dig up what it is I may take you up on it.... I am really suspecting that it is yeast added for bottling, and wasn't even going to try to harvest it, but I was making a starter for another yeast anyway and figured what the hell....

http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/694/62792 So I successfully harvested some yeast from one of these but I can't for the life of me find what the hell kind of yeast it uses. So I have a bunch of yeast I don't know what to do with. I do know that it is aged in wood and refermented in the...

Next up for a side by side review: Ferrari vs. Schwinn. Ready.... Fight!

Thank you for the input. I didn't even consider using cacao nibs.

I am working on putting together a recipe for a chocolate hazelnut stout and am hoping for some input. My thoughts are to start with the left-hand milk stout (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/left-hand-milk-stout-clone-139820/) as a base. I think this will give me what I want as far as the stout...

I generally do not do a secondary... I have been getting great results with the month-long primary then cold crashing with gelatin for a few days prior to kegging.

I am asking this more out of curiosity as I haven't been able to find an answer with the search (although I'm not really sure what to search for!) I learned the hard way when I started brewing the importance of temperature control during fermentation. So I built myself a small fermentation...

You know, I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't disassemble the kegs when I got them. They all held pressure so I just soaked in hot oxyclean, sanitized and filled. I know, I know.... :drunk: You are probably right about the poppets being dirty. Would that also account for the creaking...

I have always set my pressure to 12 and let the kegs sit for 2 weeks. My lines are 10 feet long.
