What's going on everyone! Been really trying to produce recipes of my own this year, this is my first shot at a stout. The story behind the idea is the other night I was drinking a local bourbon barrel aged stout my boss gave me to try. It was great, I'm typically not too excited by stouts but...

I guess I didn’t know that. I thought it should be mixed throughout the solution. The gelatin was obviously much warmer than the beer. I had gotten it to boil and dissolved the gelatin then let it cool off for a little. Should the gelatin solution be added in at a cooler temperature as well...

http://brulosophy.com/2015/06/22/fermentation-temperature-pt-3-lager-yeast-exbeeriment-results/ I was following an experiment done with the same yeast strain where the whole process was accelerated. Seemed to work fine for the experimenter not having lagered for 4-6 weeks. Granted I haven’t had...

Also, taste wise, I guess it didn’t have any off flavors. It wasn’t full carb’d yet and the look was totally putting me off.

As the title indicates I have created a Pilsner milkshake.... minus the milk. Attached is a picture. I really don’t know where I went wrong with this one. Anyone have any ideas?

Doing this method will get the beer to around 2.5 volumes of CO2 pretty dependably?

Hi everyone, First off, I'm brand new to kegging beers. I just bought a second-hand 5 gallon torpedo keg for my first try at a pilsner which is going through its' first day of fermentation as a type this. I have been looking into carbing methods and it seems to me there are two options: 1...

So the recirculating really just works in concert with your heating element to hold a steady temp throughout the kettle?

Hi everyone, I brew with a BIAB system currently. I have a 10 gallon kettle that has both a temperature gage and a ball valve. I’d like to figure out a way to hook up a pump to the ball valve to recycle the hot wort through the lid (much like the Clawhammer system does) during the mash to get...

So M.O. will typically come forward in flavor every time? So don’t use it if I’d like the malt to fly under the radar?

How’s it everyone, just used Marris Otter for the first time in a blonde ale. After bottle conditioning for just over a week I thought I’d crack one open and see where it was at. Perfect carb after one week! I poured it out to have a taste and it was really the first time I have ever been able...

We Belonde Together You Down With the Brown?

Bottled about 2 weeks ago. Being very excited I opened one up last night. Definitely not carb’d up to the right level just yet but I couldn’t help myself. Also the flavor has not come together yet. I ended up creating a priming sugar solution and gently stirring it in. Not the most ideal but...

Yea, I guess with this beer I was going for something very crushable that wasn’t overly hoppy for those who aren’t really in IPAs. Definitely not a BMC type beer though I’d like to take a swing at one soon. I got a bunch of family that don’t like to taste their beer haha! I’ll definitely check...

Was planning on it, what’s your thoughts?

I’ll keep that in mind for a future batch! After a little bit of consideration, I ended up using the .8oz of simcoe as well as the same amount of cascade. I’ll have to find the right thread to post pictures of finished beers. Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the info! I guess my next question to the both of you is, should I just take that hop edition out and put more cascade?

Hi all, I'm brewing up a blonde ale for a friends wedding. My thoughts were that it would be an easy drinker for everyone who doesn't get down with really off the wall craft brews. I am running a 60 minute boil and I'm going to drop in .8oz Simcoe and .8oz Cascade. Just wondering if anyone has...

Thanks for the info! Currently I am using 6 1/2 gallon bottling bucket as my fermenter. Pretty much doing a single stage kinda thing. I think that next time I’ll get another carboy that is solely for fermentation and keep the bottling bucket for what it should be used for. Appreciate the help...
