Allright, let me put it this way- anyone know of any way to tone down some of this oranginess?:confused: Honestly, I know it's still pretty early on, and granted flavors might eventually balance out, but right now this taste like one of those chocolate oranges you get for christmas...:( Not...

Hey guys, I'll give you a full report later. Brewed this, 2 oranges is too much. Also, 2 chiles is not enough maybe 3? And finally 10oz of bourbon is not enough. I've been busy and life is still pretty hectic, so it might be a week or more before I get back to ya. Otherwise, cheers and happy...

Hmmm, no racking. Just bottled straight from the keg. Stratified? Glad to know I'm not going crazy, but this is the first I've heard of this. Does that go for bottling anything from a keg (meads, ciders, imperial beers)? Well, in any case I'll definitely give it a good swishing next time...

Thanks, guys. Maybe I should've explained a bit better. I cold crash at around 1.030. If I let the nottingham finish it's about 1.012. No preservatives and the keg has been sitting in the keezer- so no chance of the yeast kickin' back up. The problem isn't so much that the cider tasted...

Hello All! This is about my 7th batch of cider. OG 1.086 FG 1.032. I like my ciders sweet and normally bottle 'em when they're around 1.030, but this is my first time kegging cider. After about a month in the corny I went ahead and bottled it to make room for a mead. Now, I had only had a...

Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Sorry I didn't mention the voltage. It's 120v. So, like 16.6 amps? That's 83% v 80%. Do you really think that would do it? (Honestly asking- not trying to be a smarty). P-J and wyzazz, Thanks for the input. I thought of that at the time and I don't think...

Kinda like the title says. The details? First time brewing in the keggle with two 2kw elements. Was brewing an imperial porter BIAB. Both worked fine up until the mash, then the first one trips it's 20amp GFCI, nothing else on the circuit, in about 20min into the mash. Waited 30min, reset the...

Well, I'm about to brew this myself as per your recipe, seabass. I've had the oak chips soaking in about 10oz of bourbon, along with some pasilla negra chiles. I think I'll wait until after the primary fermentation is done to add 'em. I'll also give a quick dunk to some fresh orange zest just...

Not sure on the other ingredients, but this might inform your use of the nibs> https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f78/black-butte-xx-207067/ Good luck and please post how this turns out. The XXII and the XXIII are def one of my favorites. Also, Deschutes has the XXIII on tap in their tasting...
