How do better bottles do for long term aging? I have a couple of big beers coming up that will need to sit for a while, and I need to get another carboy. I was thinking of getting a BB.

I really like the set DragonTail. I sent you a pm because I wanted to ask you a couple of questions about your order, but wasn't sure if it was appropriate to discuss in public.

That sounds pretty good. I'll take out the chocolate and add two ounces of roasted barley instead (I actually thought about doing this originally). Thanks for the feedback. Anyone else want to chime in?

I think for my next brew I want to brew something nice and malty. I thought that a Scottish 70/- sounded like a good idea. This is the recipe that I came up with. I am going to mash high, around 156 i'm thinking. What do you think? Amount Item Type % or IBU 3.50 lb...

For each pressure you want to have, that pressure will have to have its own manifold. So for your example above, you will need 3 regulators.

I might leave out the Carapils, and just go with the 2-row and the crystal. The crystal should be enough to help with the head retention. Edit: On second thought, just leave it in. I like a nice, lingering head.

I'm going to brew a pale ale this weekend. Since I just got my order in from Freshops, I decided to get a little crazy with my hop schedule. What do you think of it? 0.50 oz Centennial [10.00 %] (60 min) Hops 16.6 IBU 0.50 oz Cascade [5.50 %] (20 min) Hops 5.5 IBU 0.50 oz Chinook [11.00...

I want that....

I didn't know there was an offer like this on the table. I was just up in Rogers City this past weekend and would have drove a couple more hours to take you up on this offer!! Next time i'm up that way, i'll bring some beer with me.:rockin:

I don't have anything more to add then what mmb had to say, but I did want to warn you that you may want to get your hops online. At Cap n cork, they are now limiting you to only 3ozs of hops per batch of beer. I love cap n cork, but this makes it hard for some styles of beer. I just wanted...

I talked to the guy at Freshops this afternoon. He said he was trying to get some Simcoe in, but it wasn't looking good.

If you did, what did you get? I am about to place an order with Freshhops. I'm getting: 10 oz Amarillo 14 oz Centennial 8 oz Chinook 8 oz Crystal 16 oz Fuggle 6 oz Golding 6 oz Magnum 6 oz Nugget 2 oz Sorachi Ace 2 oz Sterling 5 oz Willamette So lets see what you are...

Welcome! I see you're right down the street from me. We'll have to do a trade some time.

Put the piece down Walter, they're calling the cops....

Thanks for the quick replies guys. I am thinking I might just pass on the DME this time around, since it did start with a pretty high OG. I actually made the 888 RIS, so it did start out with a pretty high OG already.

So my last batch came up a little short on my OG. Can I add some DME to jump it up to where it should be?

Ok I think I might change the grain bill a bit. Let me know what you think of this one. 8lbs Marris Otter Malt 2lbs Vienna Malt .5lbs Crystal 60 Malt .5lbs Honey .5lbs Carapils (not sure if I am going to use or not) Otherwise I am thinking of this. 8lbs Pale 2-row Malt 2lbs Munich...

I might brew this recipe this weekend if the RIS i'm going to brew doesn't tire me out. I was wondering what you guys thought and if you would add/subtract anything. 8lbs Pale Malt (I might use marris otter here) 2lbs Munich Malt .5lbs Crystal Malt (not sure what I am going to use here...

Ok I have a quick question for you guys. I am planning on brewing this recipe this weekend, but I have a couple of questions. 1. Since I wasn't part of the original 8-8-8 swap, I was thinking about trying to get a higher OG. For this, would I just add more base malt or would I have to...
