You could also make a vodka tincture. If you pull the seeds and veins out of the peppers you'll get more jalapeno flavor than heat. I would suggest 2 good sized jalapenos quartered and deveined. Let them sit in some vodka for 2 or more weeks and add them at bottling/kegging time. The longer the...

As for the "T" Corny keg sells a stainless one that I use to split my C02 lines between 2 kegs. It works pretty well for that purpose and I think it would work here. Interested to see how this works out. http://www.cornykeg.com/product/stainlesss-steel-tee/

Thanks for the information. It makes a lot of sense when you think about it. I will try using the green beer instead this time around and see how it turns out.

It was not seperated when I started. As an FYI this stuff was really active. I shook up the jar and pitched into my landlord clone wort this weekend. Within 2 hours I had rapid airlock activity and the begnning of a krausen forming. At 24 hours I skimmed the first krausen and plan on top...

I'll second that. I just did a 4 oz single hop IPA with it and the sample I pulled before kegging had a nice big Watermellon flavor. Carbonated in 2 days using a carbination stone and now I mainly taste malt and yeast with a hint of watermellon flavor on the finish. If I didn't know better I...

Yeah that was my instinct. I think it looks a whole lot like yeast other than it is floating at the top and refusing to go dormat under cold temperatures and a lack of nutrients. I am kind of curious if it is mutated and going to affect flavor. The other thing I am wondering about is if I am...

I top cropped some 1469 2 weeks ago. I discarded the first krausen and then harvested the second into a mason jar, topped it off with distilled water and threw it in the fridge. The attached photos are what it looks like two weeks later. I have a layer floating on the top of the jar and then...

As an update I ended up going for the glory and adding ~26 ounces of homemade whipper extract to the 5 gallon batch. No signs of fermentation restarting and at day 3 it had a subtle, almost wine like melon flavor (not bad but wasn't really what I wanted). I dropped in 4 ounces of hops (mix of el...

I have tasted it. It has a subtle melon flavor right now. I am just looking to bring it out the slightest bit more. My conundrum is I haven't dry hopped it yet so I am not sure how much more that will change it. I figured if I was going to add fruit, fermentation would restart to some extent...

I am brewing an IPA with the goal of trying to get a semi-strong melon flavor out of it. I used a mix of AU summer, El Dorado and Calypso. I am thinking of using the Whipper/ vodka technique to try and make a melon extract and wanted to get some thoughts. My current plan is to cube up the pulp...
