10 more gallons with all Simcoe Hops heading off to a bachelor part in about 30 minutes!
Maybe this link can help...Any suggestions on a White labs yeast? I have about 15 different vials. What to use....?
fter todays bottle bomb accident, I am waiting for my kegs to put the blonde in. Do you think letting it sit in secondary for another week will be alright? It's already been in there for a week. :\
Most definitely okay, even encouraged to a certain level. You'd be safe leaving it in secondary for a looooot longer.
In all actuality though, you don't need a secondary for this kind of beer (most beers, really.) From what I can gather you only had it in primary for 3-5 days... that is not nearly long enough. Myself (and many on here) leave every beer in the primary for a minimum of three weeks. This allows the yeast to "clean up" after themselves, if you will. There are many byproducts of fermentation that can create off-flavors... yeast can clean it up but the effects are seriously amplified if you let the beer sit on the yeast cake.
Don't believe all the myths and hype of autolysis. I've left a barleywine in primary for 3 months with no ill-effects.
Took this recipe exactly and added:
2 Hot Red Chili's & 4 Med Red Chili's Secondary 1 week.
5 Anaheim Green Chili's from Walmart *Roasted on the grill & Split down the middle* added to secondary for 7 days.
Kegged and Carbed.

i know the secret to this recipe in the centennial hops but i dont have centennial and am brewing this saturday. So i was going to replace the centennial 55 and 35min additions with cascade. any opinions on if i should use simcoe or mt hood as the 20min and 5 addition? im also using 34/70 lager yeast for 5g, german ale/kolsch for the other 5g
Brewed this last night, experimented with a late extract addition.
Woke up this morning expecting some action, but nothing. Pitched with dry notty, didn't rehydrate. I'm so used my US-05 which is usually off and running within hours.
It would probably lend itself very well to adding some bitter orange peel. Ive added orange peel to light blondes before and theyre been well received.
Just give it a little time, it'll bubble away.
