Gotcha. Spaced it and was looking at the join date! Either way, looking at the starting pictures to most recent is awesome. Keep up the solid work!

It's been about a year since that last post, how's it all looking now?

That thread has lots of quality info in it. Powdered Peanut Butter definitely sounds interesting.

Hey all, I'm wondering how it would be possible to get some peanut butter flavor into a beer. I'm not thinking over the top, just a slight taste to complement chocolate. I'm thinking porter/stout as the style. I want the style to shine through and not just be peanut butter or chocolate...

Awesome. Thanks all!

sweet, thanks! If there is freezer burn do you think it's worth bailing on them? Pretty sure I sealed it though.

I got an ounce of citra the other day and when I got home noticed that the top had an opened a little bit. There was a little bit of hops in the bag and I could definitely smell them. I taped over the hole and put it in my freezer to store it until I brew. (Probably will have been in there...

thanks! Yea I looked at the bottom and the poppets seemed a little different compared to the others I was used to. They've had a good cleaning so I'm sure they'll be fine.

I just got two new corny kegs from northern brewer and one post from each keg seems to have poppets that are lodged in there. I've tried getting them out after boiling and have had them sitting in oxiclean for a few days but they still seem pretty stuck. Are some poppets and posts made to...

Also, I've never repitched and was kinda interested by it. I've just started doing starters (last two batches) so hopefully I won't have high FG's in the future

Yea I was thinking ABV. Didn't know if it would be way too sweet. I'll give it a taste and meditate on it. It's been on coconut for a week, so I may be kegging after tasting.

thanks guys!

I just had a crazy idea and I'm seeking advice! I brewed a batch of porter, and basically Murphy's law was enacted. I had a stuck sparge, sparged too much. My OG was 1.070 ish once I finally got it together. Then a heat wave struck a day after pitching my yeast (wyeast 1028/no starter) and...

I recently have done my first two batches utilizing a starter. Both seemed to take off after a few hours of pitching. After a day or two the first seemed to really stop (OG 1.062). The second did the same thing, lots of bubbling and then nothing really after about two days (OG 1.06)...

Right on all! Thanks for the advice

I'm adding pumpkin in the mash. Doing the thunderstruck recipe from HBT. Every thing I've read on here suggests to mash the pumpkin. At the LHBS they said I should mash the pumpkin. Both sources also told me to use rice hulls as they won't add or take away any flavor but will help with a...

I'm brewing a pumpkin beer today and was wondering if in my lbs of malt I should account for 1 lb of rice hulls? Also, should I account for the pumpkin (60 - 75 oz) as well? When determining the mash thickness I've always used the 1.25 qt/lb (through 1.5) multiplied by the amount of malt...

Is it worth doing a 2L starter of 1056 if I'll be pitching in about 24 hours?

Awesome. Thanks guys definitely a big help. I guess I'm used to having the air lock be a really visible indication that something is happening. Not quite sure just yet for what I should be looking for. Any more tips are greatly appreciated. I just watched this video from Wyeast, He...

I'm new to starters and all the info I read seems to have conflicting info. Last night I did 1.5 cups:1.5 Qts. Any tips on a good rule of thumb? Is it worth getting an airlock in the future?
