I’ve mashed at 160 for a stout. Finished around 1.030. Guess you could say it was a sweet stout w no lactose.

I could add more for dry hop. I don’t believe a 5.5 gallon batch of beer needs 1/2 a pound of dry hops. If need be after tasting it I’ll add 2 more oz as a second dry hop. Definitely would want to add another hop if I do. Azacca and centennial would make a great combo addition to the mix.

Are you planning on treating your water? Also what’s your mash temp? For your hop schedule I would change it up a bit. Just feel like you are adding too much. Especially towards flame out and dry hop. less is more. Here’s how I’d approach utilizing these hops. I’d even bump up your base grain...

Yea I only have so much azacca. I’ll have to weigh out what I have again to see if I could incorporate it more into this recipe. If I have more I may add it to the dry hop. I won’t exceed anymore than 4 oz of dry hop. I agree w you on galaxy being potent but it’s just so good.

I’ve been working on an IPA recipe based on Grains, Hops, and Yeast I have in stock at home. I do no sparge brewing when I brew a 5.5-6.5 gallon batch. I may do a 2 gallon sparge to collect any extra sugars. All depends on how I feel on brew day. I have this recipe set up on beersmith as no...

I’m curious to see what homebrewers have done to upgrade their Brew bucket to give them more flex. I’ve been thinking about adding the dome lid so I have more head space and I dig the 3 inch tri clover lid that can make dry hoping easier. I’ve seen that Ss offers drill bit kits so you can add a...

Just add some rice hulls if you are worried about a stuck mash. I’ve milled them in the passed but once every other home brewer said you don’t need too I stopped.

A few months ago I got a crowler of 1968 wyeast harvested from Altamont Beer Works in Livermore Ca. It was from their stout and it is a fourth generation. I’ve held onto it for a while, just haven’t had the time to brew. Recently I decided to separate the yeast because there is no way I’ll need...

Do you have the female connections?

Belle saison Krauses up a bit. No mess.

I would just like to know how much and what type of Brett to add during bottle conditioning. My beer is finished at 1.006 and it was fruited with peaches. I’d like to add Brett with the priming sugar. Don’t want any bottle bombs and I’m not going to spend the money on the nice thick Belgian...

I think you should plan a brew day if you haven’t sold anything yet. I have 2 Kids and 2 on the way. It can happen just treat your wife and the kids then have a brew morning that can only take 4-5 hours of your time. Trust me I thought I was out the brew game for a bit then I Just planned a...

I used Belgian 3724. French is 3711.

I did open ferment w foil as well. Start cold 62-64. Brought it inside. Temp strip reached 82. Fermented 1.052 to 1.006 in 10 days.

I used 3724 on a 1.052 pale wort. With in a week and a half it was down to 1.006. I did an open fermentation. All I used was a piece of foil to cover the bung hole. Started cold for 2 days 62-64. Brought it inside in the warmest room to ramp up to 80-82. Seem to ferment well. I did make a 1...

In the bulk fruit juice section. It’ll be sold as 2 1 gallons for 7.99. May be less or more depending on your location

Finally kegged and carbed the Very Berry Cider. Delicious. The carbonation helped a lot. Helped boost aroma. Very drinkable cider at 7%. My wife says is good but strong. She is sensitive to stronger abv beverages. She did enjoy it more once fully carbed. I didn’t back sweeten as to the recipe...

I would have to find out the exact weight of the crowler can empty to determine that. I know they use a Dixie crowler machine if that helps with anyone knowing the Exact weight of a crowler can empty with cap. I guess I could buy a crowler, enjoy the beer and weigh the empty crowler the figure...
