When you cooled your wort, was the final temp lower than room temp? It could be warming up to room temp.

I figured I'd check in to say that I have this one almost gone. Although it could've used some improvement, it was my first attempt at a partial mash, so I'll chalk it up as a success. It didn't hold a head for any appreciable length of time, but that was probably due to "operator error". It...

One option, if you have a cabinet that has the space to allow for something like this: 4.6 cu ft Fridge to 10.1 cu ft Fermentation Chamber Conversion This was just the first one I found in a quick search. Just build it as a kegerator instead of a ferm chamber. I've seen other projects that did...

That would be 18636 gallons, actually... :mug:

I went with the revised recipe. I'm going to see if I can hold off on opening one, until my birthday, in August. Probably won't happen, though...

I finally got around to bottling my batch of this beer. Since I made it as a 6 gallon batch, but forgot to compensate on the dme, my OG was only 1.047. Due to laziness, it sat for almost four months in primary. I took a grav reading of 1.012 tonight, giving an ABV of 4.5%. I tasted the sample...

I'm a New Brunswicker, seeing a Newf, transplanted to Alberta... :D

Do you have any Wild Rose Brewery available over there? They're from Alberta, and they make a decent IPA. Now, having said that, it's the only IPA I've had aside from Keith's, so I don't know how it would compare to the IPAs the others in here have had. Incidentally, if you can get your hands...

I think I might try molasses... would I just use the regular stuff I have with my bread, or should I get unsulphured blackstrap molasses?

Thanks for the tips! for the first, I was thinking of keeping it basic, just these grains, lme, and a hops like Fuggles, as you said. Maybe I'll take your advice, and get a little creative (read as: get creative ideas from you guys) with the second batch. The oats, btw, weren't duplicated; I...

*bump* :D

While I was home for the holidays, I had ordered two batches worth of grains, for a Nut Brown (which I'm ready to bottle today) and an oatmeal stout (which I'll be brewing soon, hopefully before Wednesday) - both partial mashes. Well, when I went to pick up the order, it turned out they had...

In my Nut Brown that's in primary, I did a Partial Mash, BIAB. I decided to do most of the boil with just the mash/sparge wort, following the hop schedule as the recipe called for (it was originally an AG recipe.) I added all the DME with 15 minutes left. Incidentally, I hit 1.058 on an expected...

+6 gallons Nut Brown Ale 1381

I used Notty in my Nutty :D

I know you're probably anxious to get at your new Nectar of the Gods, but realistically, most of the more experienced members of the forum will tell you to wait an absolute minimum of two weeks before racking to secondary. At eight days, your beer may technically be done fermenting, but the...

just an update, I checked my SG this morning, and it's already at 1.020, which means ABV of 5.18%. I know, it's not done yet, it's only been 6 days, and I'm hoping to leave it til February 8th, which would give it 23 days in primary. Good Lord, but I can't wait! :D

I just brewed a batch of this last night. I did a partial mash directly derived from the original recipe: 5 lbs DME (late add. at 15 minutes) 2 lbs 2-row 1 lb crystal - 60L 1 lb flaked oats 1/2 lb victory 1/4 lb chocolate malt 1 oz fuggles @ 60 1 oz goldings @ 15 even though I...

Extract is boiled during its production, so, during your brewing, you only need to boil it enough to make sure it's sterile. do a search on "late addition".

I just had a look at the recipes you made, and I'm seeing that one has 9 lbs of grain, and the other has 10 lbs. In DeathBrewer's thread on easy stovetop all-grain brewing, he gives the amount of water you should use when mashing: "you also need to know the correct amount of water. this is...
