So long story short I'm brewing with my two year old and newborn while the husband is at work... bad idea... in a rush and not paying attention I let the water get too hot and started my mash and it was at 170! I stirred very vigorously and added a little cold water and got the temp down to 157...

See I've seen a lot of recipes using honey malt, vienna, and Munich as it adds to the body and rounds out the spiciness quality of the rye. In fact most recipes I've looked at, including commercial brewers use the honey and Munich malt

Thanks. I was thinking the same thing. The whiskey looks very dark! I was afraid if I didn't add it there wouldn't be any oak flavor Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

The burton baton is sort of my inspiration to try oak out. I love that beer. I'm soaking my cubes in whiskey now. Just a few ounces to cover them. Do you add the bourbon and all to your beer? I've read mixed reviews. Some drain the excess and just add the cubes some dump it all in Sent...

I chose cubes because I was a little intimidated with using oak as some people said it quickly overpowered their beer. I read that chips worked very quickly so I thought cubes would be a more modest approach for my first attempt. Did you soak your chips in bourbon or some form of alcohol? I'm...

I know aging an IPA will dissipate some of the hop flavor but I'm not exactly "aging" it. It's more of an experimental brew. After primary fermentation I'm going to add oak cubes I soaked in whiskey. From my research it'll impart flavor very quickly so it won't be aged all that long. Sent...

So how late in the season can these go in the ground and establish enough to survive till next year? And if I took cuttings again later in the season(towards fall after harvest) rooted them and potted them and kept them inside for the winter would try continue to grow, and be able to be planted...

Well I do all grain and I batch sparge. I was thinking of using the 15 gallon as a mash tun, collect the runnings in smaller pots then cleaning the MT out and using it to boil as well. Just seems like a huge pain in the ass. Plus I'd have to keep filling a small pot for strike water. Plus...

I currently do 5 gallon batches with an 8 gallon stainless steel mash tun and a 15 gallon stainless steel boil kettle. I also have a third 8 gallon stainless steel pot to collect the runnings. To do 10 gallon batches how big of a boil kettle would I need or could I somehow work with what I...
