Yea! Can't wait to get down and walk around the campus... much has changed in 7 years... Also looking forward to getting to Jack Brown's... wish that place was around when I was at JMU; would of loved to have bartended there.

Great, I'm going to go this route I think. I wanted to use the Grade B stuff to be able to say on the label I used "real vanilla beans AND maple syrup" in the brew, but I guess in the end the extract I got is real maple syrup: Ingredients: water, alcohol, pure maple syrup concentrate...

I'm making a Vanilla Maple Porter and have 4 fl. oz. of maple extract I want to put in the bottling bucket of my 5 gallon batch. I'm trying to find if anyone knows how much I should use and how it would affect the priming of the bottles? I will be using this...

Ok, the avg results from Jan to July for this year is pH 7.9 SU. seems kind of high.

Ok, I'm going to invest in a pH meter immediately.

Do you treat your water when doing dark beers?

Never used a pH meter, but perhaps I will invest in one. Never treated my water pre brew either. I don't think I'm using any roasted barley, but some chocolate, crystal, and a small amount of black malt.

This will be the first time I'm adding anything to my water for my all grain brews... I'm doing a Vanilla Maple Porter and using John Palmer's spreadsheet, came out with needing to add 17 grams of baking soda to get the alkalinity I need for my SRM which is 42. I wanted to post to see if...

5 gallon batch?

Is that 64 fl oz of syrup?

Reviving this thread... Going to make a vanilla maple porter soon. Going to buy a 32oz bottle of Grade B Maple Syrup - 3/4 cup or 6 fl oz. grade B maple syrup to prime with - 8 fl oz. grade B maple syrup in last 5 min of boil - 1.5 vanilla beans + 18 fl oz. grade B maple syrup to secondary

The point of the post was about adding beer during/post boil, not after fermentation and about hitting out gravity not really about the volume. I think, without having the numbers in front of me, our (Sheldon and I) OG was a higher than we planned so I was looking at the feasibility of adding...

Cool, thanks for the info. During your boil do you turn off the heat on the HLT once it boils for a few minutes and cover or do you keep the HLT boiling the whole time you are boiling your mash up until you add the HLT water back to the boil kettle?

Gonna chime in here as I was the reason for the post. What I was asking is what's/when's best for adding water to hit FG. Add water pre, during, or post boil, but not after fermentation. If you add it post boil, as I read in BYO, as they do in Mr. Wizard's brewery, does the water have to...

Thanks for the offer, but we're gonna pass.

Do you mean 'not' getting rich?
