I have brewed a simple Saison and pitched WLP565 and WLP670. I kegged 4 gallons at FG 1.002 and transferred 1 gallon on top of Michigan peaches and Crooked Stave dregs. Following Jester Kings process I want to let this sit for two months before packaging. My question is can I drop this 1 gallon...

I just cut up a spare bottle koozie and tape it to the side of the fermenter with the probe on the inside. The koozie insulation works fine and so far all beers from the chamber have come out clean.

Carrot ale, the base beer was what most people use for their pumkin beers. 2 lbs organic carrots added in secondary. Two vanilla beans added to 1 small ball jar filled with white rum for two weeks. Two days before bottoling I added cinnamon and nutmeg and then added 8oz of the extract when I...

Going to take a stab at my first White IPA. The rye and crystal additions are just some left over grains I thought to add. I like rye IPA's so I figure it wont hurt. I have had judges say on my last couple IPA's that the hop aroma was low so I moved my hopping rates and added more dry hops then...

Just a follow up on the version I made. It was entered into a local comp and made it to finals. I think if I would have stuck with the original hops it would have won. The hops I used gave it a earthy/floral smell. I used cascade to dry hop which failed as most of the hops floated on top of the...

Thanks for sharing your recipe! I wanted to use the same grist, IBU, OG and SRM level but change the hops used. Unfortunately my lhbs messed up the order and put in 4oz of the black patent and now the color is way off. 6.5LBS US 2-Row 5LBS Munich Malt 8OZ Crystal 40L 4OZ Crystal 120L 1OZ...

So I finally made a mash tun using Flyguys build and thought I would chime in. In my 2 gallon test it never leaked but on my first brew day I lost about 1 cup of liquid. After messing around with the inside and outside parts I only made the leak worse. I finally figured it out, I could not...

Thanks for the reply. I added 3grams of pellets I had in the freezer to the first addition. Sample tasted good, it was actually more bitter then what I was expecting. I used 1056 yeast and it is happily bubbling away in the basement at 68F. This yeast is kind of a let down after using White Labs...

So I decided to brew this beer tomorrow and due to the restrictions of the store I went to I had to make some substitutions. I had to buy LME so I figured I needed 6LBS. They didn't have light so I had to buy Amber and the lowest I could get was 6LB 10oz. I bought the correct amount of hops...

Maybe it is because I am reading this thread on my phone but can anyone tell me where the other 1oz of the fuggles goes in the honey ale? I see it has 1 1/2 oz listed but the directions only say to use 1/2 oz with a minute left. Also what is the point of using gypsum in a extract recepie?

I just brewed several wheat beers over the last week and now have spare hops laying around burning a hole in my freezer. I want to make another beer with my left over hallertau, tettnanger, and centennial pellets. Looking through books and different websites I am leaning towards making a smoked...

I just brewed my second wheat style beer in 1 gallon form and though I would put in my 2c. I had the same issue with having way under 1 gallon after boil in my first batch. After reading Beer Craft I realized you need at least 2 gallons of liquid before the boil as you will lose around 1 gallon...

I wanted to use a large tube for a blow off tube so I bought a 1" diameter vinyl tube. The books I read recommended using a 1 1/8 tube but no stores in my area carried that size. When I insert it in the jug it is to loose and won't keep a seal. Any ideas to get the tube to fit better? I thought...
