Hi, I brewed a biere de garde this past weekend and pitched a 2L starter of wlp838. I'm using a water bath and was hoping to keep the water temp in the low 50s. Turns out its been in the high 50s to low 60s because of the weather going up to 75 two days before Christmas. Will this give this...

Yeah, I've read through that one and another one they have. Sadly nothing about letting the barrel sit before filling. Bump

Hi, I've recently acquired a 5 gal bourbon barrel from a local distillery and have a few questions about getting it ready for beer. I've searched here and online and can't come up with a general answer. We don't know exactly when the barrel was dumped but it was in the last 2-3 months I...

Sounds interesting...

I go to either Original Gravity off Lakeside on the north side of Richmond or Weekend Brewer down in Chester, those are really the only place I know around here

Thanks for everyones help, I've got a trade set up. Mods please close/delete this thread.

Hi, I'm looking for a few of these beers and was seeing if anyone was interested in trading: Hill Farmstead - Anna Pretty Things - Jack D'or Pretty Things - Field Mouse's Farewell Pretty Things - Fluffy White Rabbits Jester King - Le Petit Prince Jester King - Noble King...

If these fall through I can get you Oasis, just let me know

Yeah I think the mash temp got a bit out of control at times...I think my thermometer was a little wacky.

Hi guys, So I decided to do my first lager and followed this recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f60/black-magic-lager-302123/ I only did a 2 gallon batch instead of 5 so I converted everything but I still pitched a full packet of yeast. This was one of my first all grain attempts so...

Hi I'm not sure if this is the right area so if its not just let me know and I'll move it. I had this beer when I was visiting new york city and was blown away. However I live in virginia and can't find it anywhere here. I did see there was a clone kit for this from Austin Homebrew and I was...

I don't know if this helps but I took the brewery tour there a month or so ago and the brewmaster said they used White Labs for all there stuff but he wouldn't say the number

Awesome, thank you for the replies everyone. The main reason I ask is because I'm thinking of doing a peanut butter porter and the extract recipe I have calls for adding dry peanut butter and cacao into the secondary fermenter. It seems like I might be able to get away with just putting it in...

Hi, I'm looking at brewing a beer and I've been told it is definitely better if it is racked to a secondary fermenter. I don't have one of those but I was thinking I could rack it to a bottling bucket then clean and re-sanitize the primary fermenter and rack it back in. Is that a good idea or...

I'll definitely check the hydrometer and make sure it works correctly, but when I measured the OG both my dad and I looked at it. I was extremely surprised by the high reading but unless my hydrometer is funky I'm pretty sure it is correct

Here is the recipe that I used: 1.0 lb Rye grains (steeped in 2 gallons for 25 min) 1.0 lb Briess Golden Light DME 1.0 lb Wheat DME 1.0 lb Munich Liquid LME 1.0 oz Kent Golding Hops (.5 at 60 min, .5 at 15 min) 1.0 oz French Strisselspalt Hops (at 5min) Wyeast 3711 French Farmhouse I tasted...

I'm using a recipe from a member here on HBT, I don't recall any FG being listed but it was estimated to be 7-7.5% ABV. I think what I have now is close to 11%

Hi everyone, I'm brewing my second beer, a saison, which has been in the fermentation bucket for about a week and a half. It's only a 2 gallon brew and I pitched a whole Wyeast packet (3711) without a starter into it because I read it shouldn't be a problem. Anyway my blowoff tube wasn't...
