Hot Legs - Rod Stewart

Seems there's lots of these stories on this site, but this one is mine. Brewed a Minnesota Common from the book Mashmaker by Michael Dawson last Tuesday. Followed the recipe as close as I could, substituting Hallertau Magnum for the local Minnesota Magnum that Michael uses (I'm in FL)...

Seems I'm overdue for an update. I'm pretty close to being done with the electric brewery part of the garage, now I'm waiting on parts from Kal at the electric brewery and Bobby over at Brew Hardware. The next big project is going to be three cabinets and a countertop running the corner...

Lallemand Nottingham dry. I had this in my primary set at 68° through my glycol chiller, but this secondary isn't temp controlled. That picture was taken last night but after checking again this morning it's pretty much the same, between 74° and 76°. I will say that it was nearly fully...

Hope you're right. There was quite a little yeast cake sitting at the bottom of the primary, but I could see some yeast floating around in the secondary once it was finished transferring. I'll leave it set on the temporary fermentation bench I have for another 10 days or so then transfer to...

Heated the strawberries to 150° plus or minus for roughly 30 mins, then I used my wife's immersion blender and blended it all up into something resembling a really thick tomato soup. Put the whole pot in the refrigerator for a few hours while I cooked dinner and did dishes (yep, I'm the...

Today is day 5 post brew and I checked the gravity of the beer last night. Came in at 1.012, down from 1.039. I'm expecting to get to 1.008 when it's all said and done, but I have to say the airlock seems pretty quiet (I know that doesn't always mean it's still not fermenting). So I decided...

Ray of Light - Madonna cool song, better video

So I think I've decided to try a bit of a hybrid approach based on the recommendations above. I bought frozen strawberries today, plan to heat them to 145° for 30 mins or so, adding in some pectic enzyme for good measure. Once I'm done heating I puree them with the wife's immersion blender...

How did you puree the strawberries? Food processor? Just grind it up to liquid(ish) form then heat?

Been reading through all the strawberry posts that got associated below and it seems like I could make this a heck of a lot easier by simply getting frozen strawberries and racking on top of them. I’ll assume they’re washed/cleaned up prior to the processing/freezing and they’ll thaw in an...

Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden

I've got this in primary now, bubbling away nicely. Bonus, I hit all my numbers almost dead on, really looking forward to trying this. I'm going to add strawberries to this recipe, plan to rack onto 4 lbs of strawberries in the secondary and was looking for opinions on the best method for...

Hey, I'm brewing a Centennial blonde ale that I found in the recipes here and wanted to add strawberries in the secondary for flavor. It's a 5.5 gallon batch, just started fermenting today and I was going to rack to secondary towards the end of fermentation, maybe a few points above what I'm...
