AB-InBev does not own MILLER or Coors.

Hi All, I have a RIS that has been in secondary fermentation for about 18 months- in a used 5 GAL whiskey barrel. FG when I racked to the barrel was 1.031. I normally keg and force carbonate all my brews. However, I would like to bottle this batch. Since there is likely little...

I have had 0% luck training hops bines to follow anything horizontal-anyone have any tips?

Here's one of my units.

I have 6 of these- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00186O0UQ/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 They hold a 55# bag no problem. They are on wheels, have an airtight seal and are built very well. Sometimes you can find them on Amazon Warehouse (scratch and dent) for under $20.

+2 on Kolsch. I have used WLP029 several times in brewing Easy Street Wheat clones.

That is awesome-the IBD is a great program.

I bought mine from Northern Brewer. A 1/3 HP 110V electric motor out of an old washing machine works perfectly. You should be able to find a used motor on CraigsList.

This brew still has a few weeks left. I previously did the same method with Jim Beam Bourbon. I used 2 whole spirals. The beer was a bit too oakey-this is why I reduced the latter to 1-1/2. I also used all the bourbon (I believe about 6 OZs). The Bourbon flavor was a bit much so I reduced...

Definitely-I just recently did this for a similar Breakfast Stout. I used 1-1/2 Medium+ Toast spirals (I broke one in half) and soaked them in Graduated cylinders filled with Knob Creek Maple Bourbon. I added the spirals for the last 6 weeks of secondary fermentation. I also added 3 OZs of...

You might try replacing the gaskets between the shank and the nipple where the clear beer lines screw on? A while back I had one that was sucking in air (without leaking) or causing turbulence. There are 2 types of gaskets-fiber and nylon. Can't remember which is supposedly better. If you...

Score!

Every brew is different in my experience. This is why it is nice to have a separate regulator for multiple tap handles-so you don't have to run 2 or more different brews off the same pressure. You will just have to dial in pressures for each brew. In my experience, 8-10 PSI is a good rule of...

I've seen the STC-1000 control head on Amazon for $15. What would I expect to spend on everything else to complete this project without scoring the clearance items that you bought? Thanks!

When you measured the FG of 1.031-was this using a hydrometer?

If you know your original grain bill-use a calculator to estimate what the OG was (and I would use a conservative efficiency %) If your Oatmeal Stout was high gravity to begin with-this may be normal. What method are you using to measure the final gravity?

I second Siebel and UC Davis- The IBD has an excellent program as well- http://www.ibd.org.uk/

If you are looking for any beer suggestions, and by chance you are an Imperial Stout fan (as am I)- Tipsy's is one of 2 places I know of that might have a few bottles left of AC Golden's CTAYT- This brew is incredible-It would be a fun one to take back to PA (as it is a very small release in...

Tipsy's Liquor world has an awesome selection. They have an entire walk-in dedicated to single and bombers- many of which are Colorado brews. Tipsy's is a bit west of downtown-but well worth the visit.
