So I needed a quick entry for an upcoming comp in June that needed to be American based. Buddy I chose this ale as a baseline and subbed out a couple of grains. Anyway, I wanted to stay with your hop-up, but LBHS was out of Amarillo. I subbed it with Chinook, but the Alphas are 3 points...

Just get you like 10-15 ice packs from the dollar store and use a bath...I really wouldnt worry about chillers unless you are doing 2.5 +...my 2 cents.

100% MaRis, hmm I use about 2% Crystal 120 for color...Id like try to smash it with mo and kg...putting that in my todo list

Comes in blue also, I put 3 into buckets already and my lhbs sells these for couple bucks apiece. Like sumbrewindude says, make sure it has 2 gaskets or itll do nothing but make a mess.

What's the name of that recipe book? Interested to see if I can find it. I dryhop a very small quantity 3-4 days before bottling; I usually throw them a day before I move the fermenter to my garage (bout 36-42 degrees). I fin with gelatin also the last couple days...just enough to set off some...

Out of BeeHives, oh wait...Alaskan ESB in the fridge..killing it while my ESBs bottle condition...so good.

Keeping it simple and with Bristol down the street, who wouldn't want a BeeHive?

Why I dryhop for 3 days, its not overpowering at all, very subtle with the KG...just a way and its excellent...lol, you dont have to do anything. Pleasure of homebrewing is you can do what you want

At work right now, but ill post a pic later this evening. Same concept as using steel wool or something to filter the larger stuff. Just easier to use these on the end of your cane and it does a superb job of catching the finer trub elements when racking

+1 Mash at 75 mins...boil at 75 min with hop addition at start..ferment 3 weeks at 64-65 with the Wyeast ESB yeast..dry hop with half your boil addition of kent 3-4 days before bottling/keg...cold crash with gelatin for 48 hours..oh gah its good.. Sent from my SGH-T699 using Home Brew mobile app

Probably unorthodox, but you can get sleeve filters for aquarium pumps. Slip it over you autosipon with a rubber band...crystal clear racks every time..just soak it in starsan first Sent from my SGH-T699 using Home Brew mobile app

But in all seriousness, i can definitely see where that can happen...i pop em outside usually...user experience varies. Both companies offer their unique varieties, I have used both and have not had a bad batch from any of them. Sent from my SGH-T699 using Home Brew mobile app

Sounds like a bad attempt at romance with the SWMBO Sent from my SGH-T699 using Home Brew mobile app

Yeast packs, either wet or dry, have more than enough cells to just dump without a starter...even big beers at that volume. I recently racked a red ale onto a Haus pale ale cake and it is phenomal results. Im thinking about grabbing a large minifridge and starting a bank...those smapckpacks...

The chances of getting a dead smackpack are about 100,000:1. You have just as much chance of getting dead yeast cells in White Labs or dry packs. Best thing to do is check the expiration dates and make sure they are refrigerated when you buy them. If you LHBS is the least bit competant, you...

I was contacted by Steel City Brewers and have been invited to a club meeting at the recently reopened Walter Brewing Company...very cool. Thanks for the invite guys. Sent from my SGH-T699 using Home Brew mobile app

The sparging is meant to rinse the grain of any remaining sugars. Its easier if you use a 2nd pot, but yeah, they want you to recycle the collected wort through the grains again to extract more sugars from the grain. Sent from my SGH-T699 using Home Brew mobile app

Lol, I never looked for that on the bottle. Ill check it out when I get home. Thanks Sent from my SGH-T699 using Home Brew mobile app

I've got about 10 brews under my belt and I use Starsan. The thought occured to me this weekend, I have been dumping the old solutions down my drains and my system is septic (bacterial decomposition). Logic tells me, it would dilute too much to cause any havoc in the septic process, but to be on...
