OK, maybe I can ferment a half gallon and if it works, add the rest and away we go.

I read that this might be a preservative. It does say that it's been pasteurized. On the ingredients it does say "May contain sulfites." This juice is real cheap 50% off right now. You think I should buy some and try it out?

so like 8lbs of pale malt 1lb of chocolate 1lb of roasted 1lb of crystal WIth fuggle hops? Sounds good.:tank:

Got a few all grain brews under my belt now. I buy my grains in bulk. I have: Muntons Crystal 64.0 Muntons Pale Malt 2.25 Non-Malted Black Barley (Roasted) Chocolate Malt And fuggle hops. Although I can always buy more hops. Are there any good recipes which call for most of these...

Wow, OK. So I guess I had to wait for the beer to fully carbonate. Tastes great now. Weird smell gone, taste the hops. This beer took longer to be drinkable than I thought. Mmmmm............ Good stuff....... I have to try this recipe a few more times to understand all grain better...

What was your mash? I'm not sure what you mean..:drunk:

I wont I wont. I just heard that efficiency is usually crappy on everyones first all-grain. But not in this situation. :)

I know. lol. With brewing extract I got it down to a tee everytime. Even if I tasted it after a week and it tasted nasty I'd still kn ow it would turn out good. This is just my first all-grain. An d it stopping at 1.020 seems a little high. The yeasty smell with go away I hope.:tank:

I bought the thermometer brand new the same day. A pyrex one. At first I hit the 152 degrees mash temp. I put the top on and it did drop to 149 deg within half an hour. Maybe I didnt put the top on fast enough not sure. I heated it back up to 153. For the hour. I didnt really airete the...

My haus has been at around 73 degrees.........

d... I think I screwed up the recipe My first attempt at all-grain. I added an extra pound of 2row and an extra 1/2 pound of crystal and vienna, incase the efficiency was bad. Used nottingham dried yeast. (First time just pitching the yeast into the carboy without hydrating). It fermented...

My first attempt at all-grain. I added an extra pound of 2row and an extra 1/2 pound of crystal and veinna. Used nottingham dried yeast. (First time just pitching the yeast into the carboy without hydrating). It fermented out from 1.067 to 1.020. I thought maybe adding it to the...

Thats not so bad. I guess it will come out to around 4.5% while secondary. It needs to clear for a week or two before bottling.:cross:

cool, thanks. I think i'll leave it for 2 weeks in the secondary and then bottle it. Even if its 4% id still be happy. But it going down to 1.020 makes me think it might only come out to 3% ... Hmmm.

I assume this would be a super low alcohol beer. As it only went from 1.050 yo 1.020. Im not sure what the exact % would be. I'll keep posting in a week and I hope it goes down some. :cross:

I didn't airrate my wort. I just pitched the yeast after it cooled to 70 degrees. I used all graina nd didnt use any DME or liquid. :D

Lol, Sorry yeah. I don't think it was a failure. I just thought maybe it was a little too low in alcohol. But I really didnt mean to add an extra half pound of crystal. I accidentally put the whole bag into the crusher with the 2-row without thinking. It looks and smells good though. I'll...

Hey all. I just made a batch of Edworts Hause Ale. It was at .1050 when made. I added a pound extra of 2 row? and 1/2 pound extra of crystal. This was my first all grain attempt. Fermented like crazy for 3 days. Waited 9 days once it was done. Checked the gravity and it surprised me. Its...

I put in a little bit of boiling water and bumped it back up to 150. It went down to 147 degrees after 20 mins..... I hope it will be OK.

I just hit 150 degrees is that OK? Should I bump it up a few degrees? Im making Edworts Hause ale. 10 1/2 pounds of grain. I hope it will work out ok!@:D
