OMFG!!!! I am trying the Affligem Triple. Such a great beer. I drank a Westmalle Triple the other day and the Affligem blows it out of the water.

I always thought of it like cooking. As Alton Brown teaches, 'easier to add liquid on top of dry then dry to liquid.'

i'm in for this:mug:

I would love to participate but I'm 5 hours away in Laredo

I've learned the hard way to preheat the mash tun. Also remember to close the valve on the mash tun when you dough in. :-) Also I was unintentionally no sparge mashing for my first 5 batches. Long list of mistakes I am just trying to not repeat them.

I used a hard drive magnet. But it was extremely important to line up the axis of the magnet so that the magnet would rotate evenly. I also had to cut a 1.5 inch piece of PVC to raise the magnet off the fan and closer to the base of the flask.

What type of yeast? Also I would make sure you read about the yeast strain you are going to use. Yeast is a huge part of what makes a weizen beer. You need to understand that you can manipulate the flavors that the yeast puts out by fermentation temperature management. Also understand the...

Well I started out with a Hefeweizen that I brought to my friends place. Then it went to a maplebock then we tried a raspberry stout, then a blended raspberry/sweet mead, then I split a 120 dogfish IPA. made it home and i'm enjoying raspberry wheat with the wife. :mug:

Ok I'm just saying...and I'm a little in my cups now. I have decided that the Hefe fermented cold is awesome. Light and crisp with a middle tabste of citrus (grapefruit) and a very clean finish. Fantastic summer brew ...and I know it's May but its 98 out today so it's summer. :mug:

Westmalle's triple. Trappist style ale. :drunk:

I was going to brew Ruby Ale (raspberry wheat) but the water pump on the jeep went out. I am going to fix that. Starting early tomorrow. I did just whip up a batch of Ed Wort's Apfelwein. :mug: Maybe if I finish early with the jeep I'll do this. Ruby Ale v 2.0 Fruit Beer Type: All Grain...

So which do I need to piggyback onmy regulator. It should be right hand threads because it will go into the gauge port of my current regulator.

Hey what you talking about I love me some Abita Turbodog and the Purple Haze

I work in South Texas. I see all of the trucks with welders on them and I would venture to guess about 200-300 a day pass me. That does not include the trucks that come from north i.e. San Antonio. For oil field work there are tons of weldors working. I would imagine any location with an...

Ok I have a single pressure c02 regulator from kegcowboy.com it has a 2 way manifold. I want to know what items should I purchase to upgrade so I can have two different output pressures. Would it be as simple has buying a nipple and another co2 regulator then just daisy chaining them?

Pilsen, Red Wheat, Carapils and Saaz hops. If I try this again what should I set my fermentation chamber at?

I am using the White Labs Platinum 351 Hefeweizen yeast. I set my fermentation chamber at 62 and my thermometer read 66 that was stuck on my fermenting bucket. I am getting a weird taste. I would say it taste like a tart bland grapefruit. I am not getting any banana or anything else. During...

I used bags of frozen raspberries. 12 oz at 5 mins left of the boil. Then I pureed 48 oz of raspberries in secondary. I also added 1 lb of lactose to counteract the dryness and tartness of the raspberries fermenting. Result awesome beer that didn't last in the keg. (when I say didn't last in...
