I know this is an old thread, but for anyone looking at it, I believe the Crystal 20 should only be 2oz per the original recipe from BYO.

Sorry for the double post. Not sure how to delete this reply.

Do you add the dry spices straight to your fermenter? Does your method tend to retain a lot of the spice aroma once you bottle? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

When do you plan on bottling? You'll have to report back as to whether you feel the spice aroma and flavor hangs around or diminishes. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have the same question, as I have only added spices to the bottling bucket, not to the secondary. To address a couple of your concerns, I have added a "spice tea" and also dry spice to the bottling bucket. I have had a couple of issues with this method. 1. The spices tend to settle quickly...

Nice! I always try to credit people who help me with my brewing and/or labels. I was kicking myself because I had a nice write up on each of my entries giving credit to the artist, but I forgot to add his name at the top where they obviously grabbed the info to print in the mag...you can see his...

Nice man. Great work. I'd love to see others if you have em. I noticed you listed a lot of names with the label. Did they help with the label design or just the brewing of the beer? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

(Yes, Editor's Choice) Dude, I love your label, I was just telling my buddy yesterday when I saw it. Did you do the artwork? Here's mine, I accidentally didn't put both names for the label, but my friend Andrew Rauenzhan did the pumpkin artwork. He also did the skull art for the other label I...

I got an email today (6/10) that one of my labels got honorable mention. I'm pretty excited and can't wait to show my buddy that his artwork made the magazine. They mentioned the issue shipped last week, so hopefully it'll be here in the mail soon.

Morebeer has the same information on both the vinyl tubing, as well as the PVC free tubing. I'm guessing they just copy/pasted the info from the vinyl tubing page. 2.2lbs/ft for 3/16" ID. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I don't see any difference in the resistance from what I was used to with normal vinyl lines. I haven't done any real testing though, it just seems to pour at the same rate. I currently have 11' of the PVC-free tubing on there. I know that's a lot, but I typically use 10' lines. I am around...

I did get a reply from EJBrewman and he mentioned that they noticed some nucleation within the tubing when the system is warm or the beer is carbed too high. The foaming that I was getting improved greatly once the tubing cooled down to the fridge temp. I am still getting a small pocket of...

I have installed this line on my commercial setup and the plastic taste that I was dealing with before is gone completely! I am dealing with one issue though, there seems to be quite a bit more foaming with this line. I am getting large pockets of co2 that I was not getting before. I have a...

I'll have an update later this week...

Morebeer.com is selling various sizes and two types (PVC free and antimicrobial, as well as pvc free without the silver antimicrobial lining). I just ordered some "ultra barrier silver" and it should be here Wednesday. The reason I wanted to try it is due to plastic flavors I'm getting from my...

I know this thread is old, but it looks like EJ Beverage was at the craft brewer's conference a couple weeks ago and the ad for this product popped up in the new Zymurgy issue. There was a press release for it that mentioned morebeer.com, but from what I've heard from morebeer they haven't heard...

They just updated it to say the letters and certificates will go live by tomorrow, 4/24.

I used 1/2lb in my honey wheat partial mash recipe and the sweetness was hardly noticeable. The beer finished out pretty dry, so I'm making the recipe again this weekend using 1lb of honey malt. I'll try to post the results and see if 1lb is noticeably different than 1/2lb. Recipe below. I...
