I figure it won’t hurt to revive a 5 year old thread to see if anybody’s experience with this matter has changed? Especially considering the various barrel options we as homebrewers have compared to then, as the number of craft distillers has significantly increased, giving us easier access to...

Midwest Supplies sells a graham cracker extract made by Silver Cloud, go easy with it, a little bit goes a long way

Gotcha, thank you all for the info. I expect I will be doing a kettle sour very soon!

So I've never brewed a kettle sour due to fears that the lacto will survive in some random silicone line or on the pump impeller and infect a batch down the road. However, doing some quick research on L. Plantarum I see that it does not tolerate hops very well at all. Is there any sort of...

I believe it's the May 2011 issue of BYO has a recipe for a Viking Invasion ale. A 5-gallon batch calls for 2 grams of sweet gale at 60 minutes. I generally like to do 1 gallon batches so to scale down we're talking a very small amount of this stuff. My question is - is this stuff really that...

I have yet to brew in my new neighborhood. I used to live in the country and now my wife and I live in suburbia. Haven't really had time to brew since before the move. I'm hoping to post up the brew equipment in the garage with the door open and brew with the off chance of finding a new brew...

To answer your question 2b: it will condition but it will take a lot longer than say at 70*F. I could be wrong but I remember reading somewhere on here that for every 10*C lower your temperature is, yeast activity is halved during the conditioning phase.

The ones here in Sarasota have Cigar City Jai Alai, which always makes me happy! Plus the discount wing night and trivia never fails to disappoint!

Yeah but then that beer must be skunked! :D

Sounds like a tasty mistake!

I'm brewing a AHS Pumpkin Porter this weekend and there is a spice packet with bitter orange peel in the packet. The instructions call for adding the spice packet at 15 minutes left in the boil. My setup includes a keggle with a March Pump to draw the wort from the keggle into my carboy. My...

Go big or go home! Very Nice!!:rockin:

Before I converted a freezer into my fermentation chamber, my beers were drinkable at best - Florida heat is mostly a bad thing. Just finished an IPA for my 1st beer in the ferm chamber and BAM! Delicious ale! :rockin:

Considering you need low pressures to use the gun correctly, it seems to me that there shouldn't be any problems using two guns with the proper hardware.

Thanks for the response! I'm actually building a stir plate this week!

Just wondering about shipping yeast in the summer months. Even if you ship with a cold pack (shipping from AHS in Texas to Florida) can melt the cold pack on standard 3 day shipping - this has happened to me before. I have no trained palate for tasting beer off-flavors, but the IPA that I made...

I brewed an IPA this past Sunday, so that's all I'll be doing. Cigar City Brewing, here in Tampa, is tapping 20+ different kegs of various IPAs that I imagine they've been working on for the past few months. They'll have their Humidor Series IPA, Tropical White Oak IPA, Smoked IPA and a few...

I particularly like their Boston Lager and their Noble Pils, but enjoy most of their beers. Plus the labels come off their bottles very easily!:rockin:
