Boogie woogie woogie

About 6 times a year for me. Too many other guilty pleasures (bourbon, wine, gin, commercial craft beer) to justify brewing more frequently.

I've tried to push the gas into the beer by putting the Private Preserve's straw under the surface and then 'capping on foam' but I wasn't able to do it without creating a small explosion of beer all over my kitchen; it was a mess so I gave up trying. Now, I put the straw under the cap, push a...

Raw form … I just drop it through a sanitized funnel. Works great!

I use a variety of methods that I picked up from different threads here at HBT. Each has contributed to the end result, which is a marked improvement over my old process. I dose each 12 oz. bottle with 1/2 tsp of table sugar and skip the bottling bucket; fill straight from the fermenter...

Welcome to HBT. Lots of good info to be found here. Not sure what I'm seeing in pic 1 but pic 2 looks good so you should be good to go. Cheers.

Yes, fair point on a 2 degree difference. But I do think there is a difference between "150 or less" and "154 and above". Cheers.

Good replies above, and I’ll add that if you’re looking for a crisp, dry finish, consider mashing on the cool side, say 150F or maybe even less. I prefer to mash at 152F but I don’t think you’d want it to go up into the 154 and above range.

Hard Times (No One Knows Better Than I) - Ray Charles

Good thread. In 2001 or 2002, my older brother acquired a fermenter, bottling bucket, capper and a bunch of empty returnables and said, "hey, do you want to try to brew some beer?" ... I said, "sure." I'm pretty sure it was a Brewer's Best kit - Amber Ale I think. I don't recall it being...

Summary: distilled/RO water + adjustments. All. Day. Long. Be mindful of your pH and adjust to taste ... ... ... unless you'd rather not, which is fine. As for the more controversial issue: There is no audible difference between a maple fingerboard and a rosewood fingerboard. Play what...

(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding - Elvis Costello

Yesterday I took the day off so I decided to whip up a starter for the mason jar of wlp090 San Diego Super Yeast that had been in the fridge since early April. I wanted to wake it up so I could use it again this winter. It was from an overbuilt starter, so I thought I'd be alright despite the...
