Does anyone have any experience brewing or consuming The Down Low by Lagunitas Brewing?

Out of curiosity, does someone have the recipe for this? I've only seen a couple floating arround the internet but no comments on any of them in terms of how they conpare to the actual thing. I'm on my phone and can't search the website to see if it's been posted in the 65+ pages yet.

Just went through something like this myself. 4 week old imperial Porter (Denny conn) and decided to change my blowoff tube water (no sanitizer) due to the start of mold upon the surface. Had some liquid in the tube which got sucked back into th fermenter as I pulled it out. Like a dumb@ss I...

I stumbled upon this recipe a few weeks ago when I went looking for something I could brew annually once I found out I'm expecting my first child (Porter if it's a boy.) Brewed this up today and holy crap, what a long day. Suppose it's preparation for what soon to come. A few things I've...

I think I'm starting to get why souring entire wort might be a problem. In a sour mash, the sparge takes place after inoculation and incubation. Meaning, conversion doesn't take place until after sour mash is complete. My idea has the conversion proceeding the sour mash, likely resulting in a pH...

I'm not quite sure which specific sub-forum this should be placed since it pertains to about three. If it should be moved, please do so. Turned out to be a longer, more involved post than I had intended, sorry. So I'm going to attempt a SWIG (Split Wort of Increased Gravity,)/BIAB brew day on...

I came here searching for information about the bottom of the conical. How easy would it be to drill out the bottom and place an additional spigot to use for yeast harvesting? I never thought about just tilting the conical to harvest.

Ok...so I drove to More Beer (concord) this weekend. With the help of David (Storeroom Manager,) it was determined that the handle does move, quite freely, and is perfectly suitable for fermentation. He offered a discount for my troubles which I didn't even ask for. That one employee set me and...

I've contacted them about possibly drilling a hole in the lid to accomodiate an airlock for their 12l option. I received a response that the 12l option is not ment for fermentation. I explained that their description states it's for experimental batches and is the perfect size for what I'm...

Has anyone found/come across/devised a DIY alternative to the Better Bottle Racking Adapter? I'm looking to purchase a few more fermenters (~3 gallons) and would like to transition over to something like this, away from siphoning. The Better Bottle option is just so expensive. In my search, I...

Not to jack this thread but I do have a question related to the nibs. I recently purchased some cocoa nibs (raw) from whole foods to include in my first porter before I knew about them. I have had them sitting in vodka with a vanilla bean for about a week now waiting to pitch to keg when I take...

Update?

I toasted because mine were raw. Just heated them up on a skillet (per another thread on this forum) until they were browned.

Any recommendations on Cacao Nib quantity for a 2.5 gallon batch? Trying to get them with one vanilla bean into vodka tonight. *** Nevermind...I just toasted up 2 oz. and proceeded. I think I'm going to let them and the vanilla bean soak for about a week to extract as much of the flavors as...

Thanks...I'll take the nibs route! This is my first attempt at a porter. Have never really enjoyed them before but as the years of homebrewing passes my palette has most certainly changed. And that is really exciting. The wort tasted amazing. I could certainly pick up the chocolate even...

So I just brewed this earlier today. I accidently forgot about the cocoa addition. Is their any suggestions to adding it into primary or secondary, once fermentation has begun? I was thinking about boiling for 15 minutes just enough water for the powder, dissolving the powder, then adding it to...

Not sure how relevant it is now but read this thread yesterday and then came across this tonight. Seems like a lighter alternative.

Thanks for the reply. I've actually been messaging another wise member regarding motor options. Thanks again for the help.

So I picked up a couple of motors for free, wondering if they might work for my tiny, discontinued 3b grain mill (I only brew 1/2 batch size batches). After my initial reading, these two motors are not going to work because of their hp and torque numbers. Can anyone verify this? This is my first...

Husco, Actually I thought you made a typo and meant to say "drill bits". Sorry for that.
