I screwed up. I was worried about getting oxidizing my beer during the transfer to my keg so I kept the lid on my stainless steel fermenter and I left the blowoff tube connected and in about a 1/2 gallon of star san and water solution. Well I just opened up the spigot and let the beer drain...

I add honey to my DIPAs now. About 10 oz a day or two into fermentation. It really rounds out the citrus/stone fruit flavor well and ups the ABV to above 8% easily and I've had great success so far. I've added Maple syrup at that same time to imperial stouts as well. Adding a day or two...

In Please!!

Well, I brewed this. I think overall I'm happy but I think I need to invest in Beersmith because my efficiency has been off my last few brews. I think it is because my water numbers are off. I use Brewers Friend and a mash calculater 365Brew but my water amount always surpasses the estimated...

-I'm usually around 65-68% effeciency... attenuation is around 80+% (I harvest). My aim is 8.5% or so. -I always do a 50/50 split with my malt because I feel it adds a nice flavor balance to my beers... -I used Oat malt in a brown ale and I thought it added a nice mouth feel and flavor. I...

I'm planning to brew an imperial rye brown and have it age over some wood and rye whiskey... but I've never used rye before. I like browns but they are sweet so I thought I could temper the sweetness by adding rye. The recipe is based on a pretty successful brown I brewed before: 7# MO 7#...

yes please!

I used 1318 as my yeast. I came close to hitting my FG... 1.03 for a final. SG at 1.099. I think I'm going to bloom some CBC and add it to the bottles with an eyedropper.

I brewed an imperial stout (9.5%) 2/26/17, transferred to secondary 4/1/17 over oak and bourbon and bottled 6/22/17. As of yesterday 9/10/17... it's still not carbed. Not even a hint of carbonation. My LHBS recommended rebottling with dry yeast (CBC yeast?). I bottled and added my priming...

Hi! I am interested in the Inkbird ITC-106VH PID Temperature Thermostat Controller. Thanks!

I have never harvested any cones from my plants. Last year they produced ten cones... combined. This year will be a bounty. My Centennials look very close to ready and my Cascades look maybe a week behind them. My question is that my bines are still forming new cones as well as have many...

Right now I'm soaking oak cubes in Whistle Pig whiskey but I was wondering if i can add like an oz of maple syrup to the soak mixture too... or could that contaminate it? I figure the whiskey would kill any infection off but I wanted to check.

I brewed these two beers mid May using Imperial Organic Yeast the barbarian strain... both turned out great. Has anyone used this strain? Huuuuge tropical stone fruit nose, pineapple and mango. Very pleasant. The draft is Simcoe-Citra hopped... also tried a new technique by adding an immediate...

That sucks. Is it drinkable? Mine isn't. Yet. The pic was all lighting... I'm hoping it lasts through July 4th which would be a month in the bottle. I made 2 ipas, one bottled for a friend and legged the other... my Father's Day brew - Simcoe and Citra.

Hahaha, no not oxidized. It's just the outdoor lighting. Believe me, I don't take offense to questions or comments in this forum. I made this beer for a friend so I cut down the flaked grain in the recipe and added carpils and C20... I usually add 18-20% flaked grains but I wanted less...

My latest rendition brewed 5/13, bottled 6/1. Used Imperial Yeast Chinook bittering hop, Galaxy, Citra and Columbus hops for flavor and aroma. Fantastic flavor-very tropical.

Yup. I'm in!

Code Red RIPA

I love these hazy IPAs and I've had trouble bottling them too. So now I keg all my IPAs and bottle all my dark beers. No more issues. But I plan on making a DIPA for a friend of mine and I'm worried about the oxidation factor. I made an IPA last year for a buddy's 40th, which was one of my...
