Thinking about doing the following. Brew 1: Imperial IPA Mash 21lbs of grain for 90 minutes at 151 using 7 gallons Sparge with whatever is needed to get me 7 gallon total into boil kettle. Assuming 50% Efficiency I get an S.G of 1.079. (Using same grain bed) Brew two: Baby IPA...

No, its bottled. I will drink my mistake whatever the stakes. :mug:

Thanks for the link. Anyhow, During that brew, I was not prepared. Well, when the recipe called for golden syrup, well... frankly, f it whats in the fridge. ok 2lbs of log cabin it is. :ban: Chris

Ok, so I made a winterfest brew a couple months ago. The recipe called for golden syrup which is a british type of breakfast syrup. I subbed log cabin maple syrup in its place since England is 2000 miles away. Well, needless to say, the brew has a bad aftertaste of log cabin. I brewed this...

Would those scratch a Better Bottle? Considering get a couple of those, but concerned about scratching and they are kinda expensive. Chris

I made this last weekend. By mistake I used Munich 10l instead of the Crystal 10L. What kind of difference should I expect? Thanks, Chris

It tastes pretty good. a bit sweet maybe, with a dry aftertaste. Did you make a starter or just pitch double? Thanks for the reply Chris

Ok. Not moving. stuck at 1.036. Thinking of re-pitching. Should I use a Champane Yeast or go with Notty? Or Should I just bottle?

I tend to brew in waves lately. I figure between prep time/clean up its worth doing at least two brews. Two brews on Saturday and one on Sunday. Crazy tired today, but enjoying all three airlocks bubbling ;) I wanted to get true comparson between Amarillo and Centennial and by brewing these...

How high can I go with temperature?. I'm at 81 or so right now. its burping about twice a minute right now. Thanks all, Chris

Thanks guys. I turned the temp up a bit. Now 80 and airlock is starting to burp a bit. I'll wait a few days and check SG again. Not sure if temp increase causes CO2 to expel from the beer or its actually causing fermentation to take place. Thanks, Chris

Ok. So Its now almost a month later and SG is now 1.036. I'm going to raise the temp to 82 and see what happens. I think its pretty much done but do not want to risk bottle bombs. Any advice on this matter? Thanks, Chris

Anyone know of a Recipe to clone this Ale. Its brewed by Erie brewing in PA. I emailed the Brewer but have yet to get a reply. http://www.eriebrewingco.com/beer_railbender.html Thanks, Chris

Ok. I will raise temp to 78 or so and see what happens. Thanks for your help Chris

I'm more concerned about bottle bombs as this will be bottled and not kegged. If I was kegging, I would just keg it as is.

oh, and temperature is constant at 73

Ok, I brewed J D harvests barleywine about two months ago. OG 1.115 I don't remmber the exact yeast but it was white labs and I pitched two vials. (Should have done a starter) Moved to secondary after two weeks with a reading of 1.045 (Should have left it in primary until FG, I know that...
