So my bung will be chillin w the yeast until keg day.

Hey home brewers! Has anyone ever pushed their bung thru the carboy? Well I did that today. Almost panicked. Glad I didn't. I just ran to the hardware store and bought some tubing that fit tight in the carboy. Anyone have any pre fermentation horror stories?

Thanks! Yea give me 2-3 weeks and I'll post a pint pic w flavor review.

This is my first brown and I just brewed it today. I kept the oats in the recipe just because I love that creamy silky mouthfeel and body flaked oats give off. Ended up mixing up a half oz of nugget and chinook for my FWH. Used 1.8 oz of chinook at 10 mins. Took a taste while taking my gravity...

Your beer sounds great!! My next step in brewing is using some oak chips in an IPA, stout or Porter. Never used any Crystal 150.

Should I cut my aroma hops in half?Maybe an 1oz at 10, cut out the 5 min addition... I'm for sure dry hoping w an oz. I could always save the extra oz of hops for the next brew.

Also I took dogfish heads Indian brown ale recipe and brought it down to a sessionable beer, and added 1lb of flaked oats and went w nugget and chinook hops. http://www.brew365.com/beer_dogfish_head_indian_brown_ale.php

I'm no malt expert. My local home brew supply owner told me their Amber malt is brown. I'm was surprised and gave them that confused look. I'll find my receipt to see who the maltster is...

Yea my first time doing a fwh. Had a half oz of nugget left over from another batch a couple months ago, figured I use them up. Also nugget is similar/ has some relation to chinook.

i guess brown and amber malt are the same. That's what the ppl at the home supply store I go to say. Yea I'm going wing it on the chinook. I've been searching the web to see if anyone has made Browns w chinook. I just kno I liked it as a dry hop.

Use flaked oats.

Since I'm making this brown at 1.062 i want to keep the ibus down a little. Not trying to re-create dogfish heads iba. Just something similar and sessionable. I will be adding the dark brown sugar at 10 mins. I'm just going to use 1oz of chinook at 10 mins and 1oz at flame out.

2 lbs of oats and you won't regret it

I did a honey oat pale that was fairly malty. Marris otter Munich 10l Honey malt Flaked oats Citra, simcoe, and Amarillo 1.047 50 ibus 5 oz combo dry hop Maybe bump it up to 1.065-1.070 65 ibus 6-8 combo dry hop or stay w 5oz

Call the brewery

Hello fellow Brewers! I'm designing a brown ale on the similar side to DogFish Heads Indian Brown Ale. Going lighter on the hops and abv. I want to add some flaked oats to get a smoother mouth feel. I won't be using any Crystal 60 that recipe calls for. Going for a more maltier brown so I...

Yea I usually brew an ale 1.060 or lower. I'm so used to everything being done sooner.

My temp was running around 72-74. It's been really hot out here in the Central Valley of California. I use the cool brewing insulated bag. Throw in some ice packs or frozen 2 litters and change them out once they defrost which is daily. When it's not so hot it will stay around 68-70.

Wow! That was some great info. Makes a lot of sense. Thank you very much for sharing. I'll probably not rack now sense I don't want to lose that co2 blanket. I always thought it was good to rack to secondary to have a cleaner, clearer beer.
