I am planning on making biermunchers 3.5 haus pale ale and I wondering if anyone had an idea on how many pounds of potatos I should add. The grain bill is for 8.5 lbs.
DrunkTrucker said:I planned on boiling the potatos for about 30 minutes or so. I'll probably mash it for about 90 minutes. Would it be better to add the water from the potatos to the mash or just add the potatos?

Speaking of which, I've actually wanted to try making a potato beer with some diacetyl flavor and some chives late in the boil. Maybe some black pepper?An entire thread talking about making beer with potatoes and not one joke about mashed potatoes? What kind of butter and chives do you add?

After a year of brewing, I hate to admit this, but I don't know what rice hulls are.
Instead of doing all that hand shredding, why not just use the frozen shreds for hash browns?
I'm gonna bump this dude's question because I like lazy shortcuts. Why not generic shredded hash browns from the freezer section? Pre grated, just dump 'em in water, boil 'em, and then into the mash they go, right??
The only reason I can see for not using premade hash browns is they may use oil and salt during manufacturing. Read the ingredients to see if it only lists potatoes. Anything else and I wouldn't use em.
Thanks Bernie Brewer. Tuesday will be my next brew day. Going to the LHBS tomorow for grains and yeast. This is the last Sunday that they will be open until after summer.
Do you still eat chips with your potato beer or is that just spud overload?
Sweet Potato Thanksgiving beer sounds good. If I get my lagering setup done in time maybe I'll work on a batch of that lagered to go with the pumpkin spice ale.
