For better head retention add 1/2 lbs of Carapils

Oh my.....I just cracked open a bottle after only 5 days of conditioning.....This is one of my best. Without a doubt, this is a serious keeper. Enough braggin' about it and back to drinkin' it

I'm fermenting this similar recipe now. Its been in the secondary for 2 weeks and I just added the dry hops and 6 oz of 1800 Tequila. The brew is crystal clear, yummilicious and has a gravity of 1.012. In 5 days I will start bottling.

My first attempt with my second brew.

Hey guys I have brewed a fantastic Pecan Ale. I've done it three ways. All three ways are kind of on target with what you have said. I have roasted the Pecans anywhere between 4-6 times at 350 degrees. I place them in a brown paper bag each time to absorb the oils. I then added them to the grain...

I'm actually 3 houses down from 3rd Wave. It's a whole 1 minute walk for me LOL. They have very good brews.

OK you Northerners, I'm brewing as far south in Delaware as you can go, Delmar. I'm just a misplaced cowboy from Colorado

This is exciting, count me in.

This was a great read. I have 4 gals of a Belgium Tripel that perhaps I can save with this process.

I made a fantastic Pecan American Ale. The key to pecans, nuts etc is roasting them several times to get the oil out, then add to your grain bag. You can also boil them for about 2 mins, drain and add vodka to them and soak for at least 2 weeks. Then filter the Vodka of particles. Put the liquid...

I'm getting ready to brew the Hopquilla. Well something similar anyways. Can you tell me your OG, FG ABV and bitterness with this brew? Thanks, Craig

I was worried about the head retention as well. The added carapils retained a beautiful frothy head. At first taste the beer has a wonderful bitterness (40 IBU) followed by a sweetness of the pecans. Clarity was perfect. Like I said I wont change a thing to this recipe.

OK I bottled my Pecan American Ale. I had the first bottle tonight. It was incredible. I will not tweak this recipe at all. I'm a very happy camper right now :ban: :mug:

Target SG 1.090 FG 1.018 Target ABV 9% My first Triple. I love the smoothness and kick of this brew. I hope it comes out. Here's the Recipe. 1 lbs Carapils added to 4 1/2 gals of cool water in steeping bag 2 Tsps Gypsum Remove Carapils when temp reaches 170 degrees. Stir about...

I'm assuming I could add a dimmer switch control to it so I can adjust the heat

Has anyone tried using a heat belt on their fermentation bucket? Does it work or does it get to hot for fermenting?

OK I racked the brew into the secondary. The Aroma and taste is really nice. The Gravity at time of racking was 1.016. My target was 1.018. I'll live with that. I will check again in two weeks.

If I like this batch I will try this next time. Thanks

After researching I think you're right. I feel better now
