One thing to keep in mind is that most hydrometers are calibrated to 60F. So its usually a good idea to transfer from the wine theif to the sample jar, then cool the sample in the fridge to get it down to 60F for an accurate gravity reading. By the time its cooled down the bubbles should be...

I would pick one to "perfect" but that doesn't mean you can't brew other beers while you are working on perfecting your recipe

When you say you add 16g of your spice blend....is that to primary? Whirlpool for 20 min? The end of the boil?

How long will a carbed mini keg last?

So how DID you learn about treating your water? Its so overwhelming i don't know where to start

It'd be on an open shelf in my kitchen which has no natural light (nearly windowless apartment). Only overhead lighting. I do tend to keep them for a while (up to 6 months) but then again nothing I brew is Hoppy. If I don't age them in the dark what happens?

So I was always told that while bottles are carbing up you're supposed to keep them in the dark. BUT if I am using brown bottles, do you really need to? Don't wanna waste a batch of beer but anyone ever carb them up on just an open shelf (i.e. not in the dark)?

Thats Black ROASTED Barley. Is that and the breiss Black barley the same thing???

Did you mash the Acidulated Malt with the rest of your grains? I've seen some Gose recipes where you add it to the mash after an hour or so

Ok...so I know black malt and black barley are different. Where do you buy Black Barley from though? I can't find it anywhere.

where do you find "black barley (stout)"? Id LOVE to make this but i've never seen that ingredient anywhere and it seems kinda crucial

Mine is from Homebrewtalk...the Lake Walk Pale ale: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=32939 I can't ever get enough of the simcoe/amarillo combination. Very fruity and So tasty. I play around with the grain bill a lot but never the hops.

Has anybody used the Castle Malting (English) Add-on in beer smith? I'm making a Belgian Dubbel and I'm not sure the potential S.G. is in there correctly. For example it says castle malting's Munich malt only has a potential SG of 1.000. It's a base malt...that can't be right. Plus the...

Just saw this score on craigslist and I realized that even though its big enough to easily fit 2 cornies, the compressor hump may be so huge that even if i cut off the beverage dispenser on the door I still won't be able to fit 2 kegs into it. I'm going to look at it today. Anyone know how...

wow you really keep all that grain at home?!

Just had a bottle after they were fermenting for 5 weeks (3 weeks at 63F, 2 weeks in warmer summer temps) and aged it in bottles for 3 weeks. This stuff is unbelievable. Liked it so much Im brewing a second batch but adding a little sweet orange peel to the boil and racking it over some guava...

Oh cool...schwarzbier may be cool to try as thanks to you I have leftover yeast to play with. Brewed/pitched yesterday and this stuff was EXPLOSIVE haha. So yea...may have overpitched a bit. On a completely different note when you do schwartzbiers/octoberfests do you make sure your entire...

Wow...for $125 I may pick one up for myself tbh. Thanks for the tip
