Thanks for the info guys. I'll give it a taste this weekend and post the results.

It smells beautiful!! :mug:

Hey guys, about a year ago I decided to do a little experiment with the leftovers of a brown ale I had. I bottled some for a competition and threw in a packet of Roselare yeast to the remaining 3 gallons. After peeking in on it over the past year, its developed quite a funk. At first, there was...

Hell yeah congrats Don!! :mug: I can't wait to try it out! I haven't been able to make it in lately due to being very sick the past couple of weeks. I'm glad to hear things are going so well!! Hopefully I'll be able to make it in soon!

I always just used tapwater with no infections. Knowing what I know now I should have at least filtered it to get the chlorine out.

I pitch my yeast straight into the carboy through a sanitized funnel.

I started doing this about 2 batches ago. Here's the pump I use: - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices As per other people's suggestions, I cool with tap water until 100F, then recirc through the pump. Takes about 20-30 minutes to get to 68 for me. I also used this...

Hi Lucky, It sounds like you're talking about the potential alcohol scale on your hydrometer. My understanding is that it measures alcohol based on fermenting out ALL sugars in the solution, so its kind of useless with beer. Most homebrewers mainly pay attention to the Specific Gravity...

Nice! Congrats! I haven't had straight up Ruby in a while. I usually go with the Rubinator. Its Ruby with Terminator Stout. Ooooh so good. :mug:

I use aluminum flashing too, hasn't melted yet. I made it more to direct heat up and around the kettle as opposed to outside my garage (it was taking forever to boil before I added this)

And you couldn't have done it without us around, right?? Heh heh. Sounds really good man! Can't wait to sample a bit!

I'm a console and PC gamer. I play a lot of Left 4 Dead, TF2,(both PC) and Rock Band (360). Is there a thread for xbox gamertags or Steam names? Always good to see more gamers around! :mug:

Yeah, go see it! Its one of the best movies I've seen in a while. :rockin:

Don't worry, you'll still have drinkable beer. :D I'd see how this one turns out and then focus more on temp control next time. I didn't attempt controlling my fermentation temperatures my first 6 months brewing and ended up with good tasting beers. Thats not to say that some didn't have off...

I'm brewing and 8 gallon batch of Orfy's Mild Mannered Ale today. Got a late start, but screwit! :mug: Here's the recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f67/mild-mannered-ale-ag-e-uk-us-52776/

I'm brewing an 8 gallon version of this right now. The mash smells sooooo good. :rockin:
