I know, I know, I'm answering this like 4 years too late but I stumbled upon this thread doing some googling... From my experience and from the comments I got from my supplier, S23 is an awesome yeast to use when brewing lager style beers when you don't have the gear to keep the temp down. You...

okay but I'm talking about a 6 week concentrate kit... I don't own a vineyard in my backyard y'know, I'm just a homebrewer? lol

So I've been busy a lot during the holydays, I've been lazy a lot on my free time and I have this nebiollo that spent a whole month in the primary bucket and another month in the carboy. I just added the stabilizers and clearing agents today... very few bubbles showed up while stirring like mad...

I listened to you and waited a month before bottling half the batch and kegged the rest. I took a sample glass, the oak&whiskey is there, it's pretty close to what I was expecting. I took my sample after mixing the bottling sugar so it was kinda hard to tell cause I could taste the dextrose on...

I bought osk cubes from my hombrew supplies store. it doesn't say anything other than "oak cubes" on the package but I can say they look pretty dark so I guess they're toasted somewhere between medium and a lot. 2 weeks should be enough I guess?

Hey guys! here's an update and I'm very happy with the results. Here's what I finaly did : After emptying the light beer, I cleaned and sanitized a 1cup scoop and scooped 2 cups and a half of the trub/yeast/sediments at the bottom and kept it in a sanitized jar in the fridge. Then...

The light ale has been in there for a week, I'll give it another week or two to settle so I can send it straight into my corny while brewing the barleywine. will keep you guys updated.

thanks, I didn't think about using a blow off but it's obvious that krausen will show up.

I'll go with the cake then. The taste will change but it'll still be a barleywine and I think it's going to be awesome. I'll also add an ounce or two of oak cubes I guess.

At this point, I don't really care to know what % it'll end up with, I just want to make sure that it will ferment properly without underpitching. I think a single pack of nottingham is not a lot and want to know if it would be a bad idea to pour my mash on top of an old cake. I've seen some...

The kit recipe doesn't tell but putting everything in Qbrew gives the following results : Grains & Exctract : 13.23lbs light malt extract 0.44 lb Crystal 10L 0.77 lb Crystal 120L 0.66 lb Crisp Amber Malt Hops : Galena 2.5oz 30min Cascade 0.71oz 8min Cascade 2oz 1min Misc ...

Since I started homebrewing 5 years ago. I think I stopped counting about 5 years ago the number of ppl who think that hops are what gives beer it's alcohol content...

Hi there! After my vacations I decided to stay off alcohol for 30 days and it's almost over! I kegged a nice raspberry wheat last week and started a batch of a light ale (very basic : 6lbs gold LME and I poured in the kettle 1oz saaz 1h boil.) with saffale us-05 which has been fermenting for...

I have a gold liquid malt extracts with just a bit of german select hops + 600ml of maple syrup that's been fermenting for almost 3 weeks now. I'll keg it on tuesday, let it cool at least 2 days and drop some gelatin in. (I watched a few videos and the most popular way seems to be the one...

No space to crash unfortunately. I thought of having a 2nd fridge but I don't have enough room for that... My kegerator is a tiny fridge and I can fit 2 cornys... I'm actualy in the process of gathering the cashdown required to buy a house, then I'll have room for a fridge to control...
