I figure anything that separated will come together with a gentle shake in the keg. Otherwise, I guess I could make Eispale Ale! Thanks!

Hi all, I was cold crashing my pale ale in my chest freezer (it was in the secondary after fermenting down to about 1.012) and accidentally left the temperature probe outside of the freezer for the better part of a day. My beer isn't quite frozen solid, the middle is still liquid, but the...

You can't actually see the aluminum oxide, but it's still there covering the entire pot and lid. You can remove it (temporarily) by lightly sanding or chemically, but it'll form again pretty quickly. Or maybe this isn't the problem at all! Good luck.

I'm not completely sure, but I'll throw an idea out there. Aluminum oxidizes very quickly, forming a layer of aluminum oxide that covers the pot. It could be that the aluminum oxide layer is acting as an insulator against the current, so you might want to try sanding the area where you are...

I've only brewed an American Wheat once, but on the advice of Jamil Z I pitched the Wyeast 2565 Kolsch yeast that I had saved from a batch of Kolsch. I thought it was very tasty, but I'm not an expert on the style so I can't really advise how the Kolsch yeast compares to either of the two you...

rickjames, Thanks, PM sent. John

Sorry, no dice on the Hill Farmstead. I picked up some HT when I was in VT recently, but I'm honestly not familiar with Hill Farmstead and didn't even look for it. John

Looking for 2 or 3 bottles of Pliny the Elder in exchange for 2 or 3 cans of Heady plus whatever makes this an even trade. (First trade, not sure of the trade ratio here) I'm in CT and can get Maine, SixPoint, Troeggs, Southern Tier, spencers, Allegash, Two Roads. I can also get some Cigar...

I got a few nice beers from my wife (Jacks Abbey Kiwi Rising, The Bruery's Smoking Wood, and Evil Twin's Low Life) and a gift certificate to the best beer store from New York to New Hampshire! My sisters got me a monogramed wooden 6-pack holder and some coasters with my name on them, and my...

I don't think the Magnum would have any major impact on the taste/smell of the Kolsch and would be appropriate for the style. But if I understand you right, you want to substitute .25oz of magnum for .25oz of hallertauer, which won't give you the desired IBU because Magnum has a lot more alpha...

Hey all, I was recently in Scotland and tasted the Isle of Skye Brewing Red ale. We brought a bottle home and opened it up last night and enjoyed it even more than the first time. So I've decided this will be my next brew. The site states they use 3 malts (pale, crystal, and roasted) and...

Thanks, Chef, for letting me know. I'll keep that in mind when sampling next weekend.

Thanks...that was my thinking too. Just finished bottling!

Same here. This is my first time using the 3068 and the first time I've gotten the sulfur smell during fermentation, so not sure what too expect after bottling. Might not be an issue at all. John

Hi all, I've had my hefe*fermenting at 62 for two weeks. Like others, I got a strong sulfur smell from the 3068 yeast for the first week. I just took a sample (1.010) and I don't taste or smell the sulfur, but I'm a little afraid it'll come back when I bottle condition. I have 3 weeks until...

My vote goes to Pacifico, especially in the summer. It's got a soft spot in my heart/fridge because my wife and I spent our honeymoon in cabo drinking 2-for-1 pacificos Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
