    Show Us Your Label

    I opted for these generic logo labels and slap a different color circular sticker on the cap to differentiate. If I'm gifting, have folks over or otherwise sharing I make a little print out with the beer label cap and name with description, etc ... The name is in honor of my number one brew...

    Add boiled down concentrated wort when transferring to secondary?

    Wow! Necro thread revitalized! So here is what I did - Spoilers, It did not come out anything like a Hitachino Red Rice - But it did come out as a pink-hued peach/bubblegum kinda Belgian ale - For one of my buddies, it is now his favorite beer and at the time was absolutely the best beer I had...

    Secondary Fermentation from Fruit Going on 4+ Weeks

    Thank you all for your responses - So many knowledgable folks on this site. Much to the chagrin of most brewers, I actually ended up racking to a tertiary glass carboy (I know, I know but I'm meticulous about sanitation) that I placed my additional adjuncts into (a Hibiscus & Ginger...

I don't really know but would guess 1.015 would be ideal to hit the 6-ish % ABV I think this beer needs @IslandLizard - This is a really interesting point and something I did not consider - I definitely do not want the beer...

    Add boiled down concentrated wort when transferring to secondary?

    @FromZwolle - Cheers for that! This was exactly my thought but have yet to add additional fermentables to a batch ... I guess I'll heat it up, let it cool and stir it in very gently ... To your point though, I have the buckets/carboys necessary so I think I will transfer to a 'second primary'...

    Add boiled down concentrated wort when transferring to secondary?

    Hello all! This is my first post and I am a relatively new home brewer - I have 5 brew days under my belt and have only botched one ... so far ... On my last brew I did not have a concrete recipe and cobbled together from various posts around the internet a clone of the Hitachino Red Rice Ale...
