I've got a friend travelling all over right now, and shes in India for 3 weeks. Shes travelling all over the country, but her "base" is in Chandigarh. She'll then move "base" to Kerala for a week, before jumping over to Australia for a few weeks. Shes a beer lover, but can't find much in the...

Most beers take 3 weeks at 70 degrees in the bottle. Pretty standard.

I'd let it sit, as cold as you can get it (between 34-45) for like, 3 weeks at least. Then bottle it and store for at least 3 more weeks. Lager means to store.

:doh Why isn't it a 21 and up?!?! It's gotta be at least 18 and up to accommodate for places where the drinking age is 18

I know. Honestly, I want to guess an orange mead, but the glass is preventing me from doing that

Peppercorn lager

Just read more of the thread saw there was a mistake. I'd still sit on it

Man, I'd sit on that beer at least 5 weeks before bottling. Just my opinion, but beers that big need to sit and ferment out for a while, and clean up. If you wait, youll have a better beer going into the bottles, and thus a better beer coming out of them

I wasn't trying to contradict you FYI. I ran the numbers and posted not seeing your post.

My math may be off, but those numbers would suggest an abv of 11.6

If I'm mashing at 154, I usually heat the strike water to around 175 to account for loss due to the mash tun temp and grain temp. Unusually end up a degree or 2 higher than I want, but by the time I get all the dough balls out, it's right where I want it

I quit using mine when I got real kegs. But I never used priming sugar on the portion of the beer going into the TAD, always force carbed, out of convenience since I had a ton of co2 cartridges in both 16 and 8 grams. Usually took 2 8g to force carb and 2 to serve, 1 16 to carb and 1 to serve...

If you're willing to use 2 16g cartridges (if using a miller or coors homedraft system) or 4 8g (using the tap a draft), you can force carb them

Beginning in March, 2013 I'm going to be hiking the entire length of the Appalachian trail from Georgia to Maine. Will finish in Maine probably in mid July. Would love to take a break from the trail and join in on a brew day, or grab a beer at a watering hole.

You could also get a couple bed frames and either weld them or bolt them. They're not too beefy, or heavy when constructed, but they'll hold the weight. Nothing you put on will be as heavy as 2 people

If you do a Brutus, and worried about theft, have whoever does the welding weld on a couple heavy duty i-bolts. Then in your shed, garage, whatever, get a decent hole drilled and cleaned out (maybe 6x6x6 inches) pour a little concrete and stick an i-bolt in. Let it set. Then put a heavy duty...

Do you have a LHBS (local home brew store)? In times where online places have been out, I've have great luck at my LHBS. Or other brewers in your area

Yes you would need priming sugar. Or drops/tabs. I'd use priming sugar though.

Going to be taking a road trip to new Orleans jan 19-24. Looking for good places to buy beer to take home, bars, activities, tours, you name it

You might want to remeasure. If you've got 6 gallons in a 10 gallon pot that is 12 inches high, you should have roughly 7.5 inches full. Or make sure it's a 10 gallon pot. My math might be off, but that seems like a fairly straightforward equation. If its 10 gallons, 12 inches high, seems like...
