Alright! I feel good. 4 extracts under my belt, and now 1 AG! I used Ed Wort's Haus ale recipe and right now it's going crazy (fermented in less than 12 hours). I missed the og by a few points (1.048 was my final) and I ended up with a bit less than 5 gallons (I'd say i was off by 1/2...

Someone spammed a Facebook group with this product. I think it's just a waste of money. http://sedexbrewing.com/

Needless to say, I didn't rush to click the link.

Welcome! Glad to see new england brewing is one more strong!:rockin: Are you using Cheese's VCCA recipe? I'd love to swap my version with yours

I think my next batch will be a sorghum beer so i'll throw up a recipe when it's time! Most likely will use frozen fruit since nothing is in season yet. Does sorghum itself lend a light colored beer, or does it come out brown/heavy?

How would fruit go with this recipe? I have a friend with celiac's as well and she loves wine. She would be interested in how it would taste with Rasperries, etc. It'd get her to try some decent beer for a change.

Man, I do miss Yuengling... Too bad they don't distribute here in New England.:mad:

Does it matter at which PSI you pressurize and seal the keg? Pressure inhibits yeast activity, correct? I'd like to age and store my Cider in a keg so I can free up a secondary.

How long can you leave hop plants inside a clay pot? Just wondering, since I have a few rhizomes but I certainly do not plan on staying at my apartment for 5 years. Ideally, I would plant them, then the next time I go to my parent's house i'll plant them permanently there.

lol, very nice :) I have some Butcher's twine... though it is skinny, would it still work if I intertwined them a bit to thicken the rope?

Hmm... not a bad idea. Might as well drop it all on one place eh?:ban:

Wooohoo! Mine was deposited today... What to do with it now??:drunk:

Watch out for the syrups, I received a lot of flavorings and syrups from an old friend of mine and I can't use them because they contain Potassium Sorbate. I'm sure you can get around it but naturally the Potassium inhibits yeast activity (or so i've heard)

I thought about that but i'm assuming you'll need to caramelize some kind of sugar that will impact the flavor... perhaps Demerara? I plan on experimenting with this process soon.

I ordered last night as well... Cascade, Mt Hood and Willamette. Seems like they still have a good supply here: www.freshops.com

So urine works as a natural deer deterrant eh? :cross:

Think there might be luck in asking a packie?

I'm going to try this vodka... although I won't be going through the big process. I found a nice shortcut: Or maybe I want it a little different? :drunk: I love working with flavors :D

Heh, for a second I believed ya :) Checked this morning, it looks like the yeast is slowly breaking it down. :ban:

Oh I apologize, i had the recipe posted on a previous topic of mine (thanks again Bradsul!) https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=60797 I did not end up adding chocolate to the boil, nor the Vanilla. Only grains, DME, Hops, and British Ale yeast. Temp was around 63F. Steeped...
