I seen your from Columbia, SC from another post. I am on the same water supply. Its great water to brew with, great to build on. In the last 2 years ive had water reports from myself and friends it really doesn't move much from season to season or year to year. With those low SRM beers, with...

Measuring it in the bottling bucket just makes a lot more sense to me. You dont know how much you might loose to trub or dry hops.

Where did you get this infomation? sounds like a good way to get uneven carbonation or undissolved sugars and/or unsure way of measuring out what you actually need. The way ive to done it on my last 20 or more batches is Rack to Bottling bucket. Measure how much you actually have (this may...

Never had a problem with this.... I have had people coworkers complain after I shared my beer with them and they went through a 6 pack of 7% and higher. i expect that with any alcohol beverage i drink, that I feel my guts with booze they wont be happy. Honestly just pour the bottles in a...

I really enjoyed the batch I made... I will revisit this again once the weather warms back up. The one thing I thought I might add to its this time around though is an ounce of saaz right at flame out, just to give it a little something extra. also think I may raise the mash temp up to 150...

Pretty sure I have a decently large problem... Took a sample of my beer today. Its stuck at 1.020 guess it was a dumb thing to not take a sample for entire year till now. So not going to bottle anytime soon. Whats my options? Let it age out? add another yeast? It taste wonderful to me,not as...

I brewed this a year ago this week.... I plan on bottling Thursday with Belgian Strong Ale yeast wlp545, (Do I just mix this in bottling bucket no type of starter?) Whats the normal range for c02 level for this beer? I am assuming 2.5?

Again I gotta thank everyone in this thread... All the info I got from it, lead me to getting this in the mail today :-)

A while back I had to stop drinking IPAs for a while, after having green flashes Citra session IPA.... It was the first time I experienced a Catty Flavor and Aroma before, i forced myself to drink the entire pint. After that every IPA I had for 2 weeks tasted extremely off and almost...

used 1056. Ya surprised the hell out of me when I measured it. The hydrometer dropped like a brick.

This finished insanely low for me.... Came in at 1.002 FG. Tastes good, extremely drinkable, not as much flavor as a I hoped for though. Also has no head retetion at all. mashed at 148... Next time I might think ill mash a little higher and maybe add wheat or carapils then maybe some finishing...

Brewed this Sunday... Just went and looked at it, it has a ton of trub, more than I am accustom to, guessing it might be the rye but could be the corn since i never use it before either.

I was inspired by this recipe and kinda tweeked it a little to my tastes. This is the results. Breakfast Stout v2.0 Type: All Grain Batch Size: 5.00 gal Boil Size: 7.94 gal Boil Time: 90 min End of Boil Vol: 6.24 gal Final Bottling Vol: 4.75 gal Fermentation: Ale, Two Stage 6 lbs 8.0 oz...

I am guessing I am doing something wrong in beersmith..... But its giving me 1.041 EST SG 9.9 SRM 21.8 IBU and EST FG 1.007 72% total efficiency Usually my recipes are on point, but this one isnt coming out like the original post. Think I am going to go ahead and make this my next brew...

So I made this recipe about 3 weeks ago, but left out chocolate chips and coffee in boil. Instead I put 8oz of nibs in a pint of skyy vodka for 2 days, and poured in a bottle of premade local cold brewed coffee (checked ingredents its just coffee and water) I put nibs and vodka all into...

So my 5 gallons can sit on these chunks http://morebeer.com/products/bourbon-oak-cubes-2-oz.html for another 5 months and probably be ok? sorry for late reply other laptop crashed

Hopefully I didnt just screw up my beer, but I through in the bourbon chunks I steamed now at 6 months it was 2oz of them. Afterwards I realized they were chunks not cubes, I always read chunks will give huge tannins if left on the beer for over 2 weeks.

Just took a sample of my Saison.... guess I am ready to bottle. When I took sample I have a very very thin bubbly peliccle sitting on top, I assume that can be expected. Lower than 1.000 So after 5 months.... There is enough brett floating around still for conditioning correct?

When I did my tart of darkness with no starter just direct pitch..... I had 5 gallons in a 6.5 better bottle, I had a huge blow off. I think it just varys.
