Well, seems like you're all right. I took another measurement and it is dropping slowly. It is my first Stout and everything I've brewed with US-05 finished within the first week. That's why I freaked out a little. LOL RDWHAHB - that's the spirit. The best thing is... it already tastes...

Now I got the idea. I've been doing mini mashes for a while now, but I'm new to the all grain game. I originaly planned making a "real" Dry Stout, and then a new batch with more likely what you have suggested for specialty. Only difference here is what I can actually get in BR. Pale Ale is too...

I have just read from szamatulski that a little acidulated (under 2%) would give that slightly sour taste of guiness, so I tried it out. Good point on aeration... I certainly didn't do a good job aerating this wort. It was my first brew with my new set-up (40L) so when I got 20L out of the...

Hello there. There's the recipe for my 40 liters batch of Dry Stout: Grain bill: Pilsen 5.5 kg - 65.6% Barley (Flaked) 1.75 kg - 20.9% Barley (Roasted) 1 kg - 11.9% Acidulated 0.14 kg - 1.7% Mash Schedule: 25min @ 122ºF 60min @ 154ºF Hop Additions: Magnum 40g - 60 min...

Well I can do that. Like I said, LHBS lacks a lot of stuff we have in us. I'd need to make one, so my question is: is it really necessary? Don't you think the grain bed would do the trick? Just a though ... Thank you

Hey guys, this thread came in really handy, cause I'm planing an AG with a dry stout recipe that calls for flaked barley, roasted barley, and acidulated malt. I'm in brazil and having a lot of problems to find the right ingredients. the LHBS (local meaning national LOL) carrys brazilian...

is good to know I can do that, but anyway, I got a better idea. what about 9 gallon bathces in two carboys? I wish I had something to ferment 10 or 15 gallons in. maybe even 20.... about the temp. I think I'll use nottingham at lower end to try and get a crisp finish ale. I'll try to keep it...

I know those, too bad everything is so overpriced. I'm just trying to get something going on with what I got in hands now. just for the record, they sell a plate chiller, not the blichmann, but one of those cheap plate chillers you find on ebay for under 100 bucks. but they sell it for 680,00...

hi there guys I am back to Brazil and still having problems to get my brewing life back on track, I'm going nuts here, way to hot (even though is winter time) and hard to find the right equiment/ingredients. right now I have a question about the fermentation vessel. the cheapest thing I've...

Hey buddy, thanks a lot. I think ill do what u said and this time I'll try to go red with the bitter. But I have a question tough. What did u mean with "the whole chile beer thing" I have no idea what that is lol . Thx again

hi guys, I moved back to brazil and I am having problems with the limitations of malt found here. Im not ready for all grain for the next couple of months at least, so I managed to bring 2 cans of coopers hopped extract kit in my suitcase for the mean time. (yeah, not to many hops here too). I...

turns out that I boiled and chilled some water, and topped off the secondary with that. and the beer came out pretty decent. everyone that tried, liked it... it was a pilsener, and the recipe was concentrated, too strong didn't mean better beer this time. it was light with a nice body and good...

ok guys, would this be the extreme case? thx a lot

I am having this problem with a pilsner that is sitting right now in the secondary @ 52F. I'm a new brewer and I have just found out my 5 gallon line on the true brew fermentation bucket is actually 4 to 4-1/4 gallons. my last brew tastes better when I add 20% cold water to the glass before...
