i'm still trying to use up my order from last time!
anyone Interested in a c120 1/3 split?
Cidah, Check will be in the mail in the next couple days!
arrogant bastard clone it is really good w c120I'd do 1/4 split, but not sure I could use 1/3 split. 12 lbs is even alot to use. I only really use it in my irish red, what else is it good in? I tend to use 60c everywhere.
Jeff could you put us 3 in @ 1/4? It won't
Let me access the spreadsheet from my phone and I'm at work late tonight...
Sure I can do that. jbsengineer, that cool with you? I'll throw you on for now.
GW-C120 split added. Need 1 more to close (1/4 split)
This is the LAST thing I can afford on this buy. I'm soooo in deep on this order! Good thing I live alone!
Yeah and the strangest thing, and the one thing that makes EVERYONE look at me really weird... I don't really drink my own beer... or any beer. I maybe have 2-4 glasses out of a whole keg, I give most of it away. I just really enjoy the process, the science, and the art of brewing. And I do ALOT of brewing too! But my friends never complain
I fill a lot of growlers for friends as well. When I fill them (I dont use an extension tube) I turn the PSI's down to ~5 and fill the growler up. I also regulate the temperature of the growler beforehand by placing it in the keg fridge. This way I minimize any CO2 leaving the solution.... Might be a little overkill, but my friends keep growlers for almost 2 weeks (unopened) and don't have any issues!
Yeah chilling the glass before hand helps out ALOT. Sometimes I rinse it out with sanitizer too, but that might be too anal.
Ever since I switched to Perlick faucets, I havent used a diptube. The inner dimension is too small for my old tube, and havent looked around for a new one yet.
Copyright - What do you use the smoked malt in?
Here's a recipe from this month's BYO magazine. Guy won best of show with this out of over 800 entries. Looks pretty damn good to me (going to try it myself next go around). Thinking about replacing the Caravienne with 1# of Caramunich II and lowering the Munich II to 1#....
Randy Scorbys Classic Rauchbier
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain)
OG = 1.053 FG = 1.014
IBU = 28 SRM = 13 ABV = 5.0%
Best of Show, AHA NHC (840 entries)
Ingredients
7 lb. 13 oz. (3.5 kg) Weyermann rauchmalz (smoked malt)
1 lb. 5 oz. (0.59 kg) Weyermann Pilsner malt
1 lb. 3 oz. (0.53 kg) Weyermann Munich Type II malt
12 oz. (0.34 kg) Weyermann Caravienne® malt
1.6 oz. (45 g) Weyermann dehusked Carafa® II malt
8 AAU Tettnanger hops (60 mins)
(2.0 oz./57 g of 4% alpha acids)
1.2 AAU Tettnanger hops (5 mins)
(0.3 oz./8.5 g of 4% alpha acids) Wyeast yeast nutrient (15 mins)
Wyeast 2633 (Oktoberfest Blend) yeast
(2 qt./2L yeast starter)
Step by Step
Single decoction mash schedule: Mash in at 132 °F (56 °C) and hold for ten minutes. Pull a thick decoction and boil it for 10 minutes. Return to main mash and hold at 154 °F (68 °C) for 40 minutes or until conversion is achieved. Recirculate until clear, fly sparge with 168 °F (76 °C) water and boil for 90 minutes. Chill wort and pitch yeast starter. Wort temperature should be no higher than 50 °F (10 °C) when pitched. A higher pitch rate is needed to compensate for low wort temperature. Ferment at 48 °F (8.9 °C) for 14 days or until desired FG is achieved. [Original extract efficiency = 70%. Three base malts adjusted proportionally.]

Which model perlick?
I believe the PERL 525SS
Don't get me wrong I really love my beer! It's much better than most commercial stuff. I'm just too busy to really enjoy it. I do have a couple kegs I brewed for the Super Bowl so I plan on drinking wayy too much Sunday!
Cidah, what's your process for filling growlers? I honestly have never tried it. I'm thinking I might have to start.
Should I send a partial payment to you, Cidah, now via snail mail or the electronic ways?
Seems like the days of people adding 20+ bags in a day are gone. Haha.
Cidah, want to do that swap with the golden promise you were talking about before? I'll take your half spot on split 8 and you sign up for a whole bag. Or do you want to wait?
Cidah - what do you use Golden Promise in? I might be interested... I have more buckets to fill!

Sounds like Golden Promise is worth a try. I added myself to the split if know one minds. If it complicates anything let me know. I have plenty of other stuff to play with this time around!
