Right on! Thanks!
I'll have to give this a shot. I have plenty of beer to burn through so I don't mind this one hogging up my ferm chamber to lager.
I've never lagered before, so how long should this one sit in the chamber?
Would anyone happen to know of a recipe for this beer?
Ever since I got into homebrewing, my dad has been asking me when I was going to make this beer. Being Filipino, San Mig is the drink of choice. My dad always tells me stories of when he was younger and this was the only beer they...
Bought a bottle of Wee Heavy, Olde Ale, and Thor's Hammer. I should have bought two of each - one to save and one to drink.
Also, not today, but Thursday I finally got my co2 filled and pressurized my kegs. No leaks. I should be kegging a witbier this next week.
Just an update, I went to River City Fire Equipment in West Sac.
My 10lb tank only cost $23.76 to fill. I think I've found my spot for CO2 refills. The best part is they have 2 really sweet dogs in their office.
Haha wow. I can't even imagine trying to lift that much out....did his back survive? Haha
It's funny you mention leaving it in the cooler because I did just that today. Brewing up a Belgian wit and when I drained the mash, I just left the bag in there. Worked like a charm. Tilting the...
Sorry about the recipe, I just un-privated it.
Hydrometer is calibrated. After I took the sample, I figured I'd try and use it in distilled water. 1.000 on the dot.
EDIT: forgot to include my brew process. I do full volume BIAB/mash in a cooler. About 9gal of water in the cooler, dough in...
A few weeks back, I brewed my peanut butter milk stout recipe. I hit 10 points above the estimated OG of 1.066 and got 1.076. It's been 2 weeks in the primary and the SG as of today is 1.037. I seem to only have hit 50% attenuation, which is much lower than my usual with starters. I'm going...
I'm sure some of you have heard of Dagner pipes. Jayson has become a friend of mine over the past year and they're on the west coast for a few weeks. They stopped by Sacramento and I had a chance to skate with him for a few hours. We've been planning this skate session for a year now...
I'll be doing 5.5gal a 2nd version of a belgian wit I did previously. This one will be kegged. This one will be appropriately scaled, unlike my first go at it.
RT600C for me.
I got it while it was on sale on amazon and I've been happy with it. The readings are quick enough for me. It usually reads in about 5 seconds, which is fast enough and I can't imagine spending more money just to be a few seconds faster than 5.
Either way is okay. For...
I've got my christmas old ale sitting in the fermenter and plan to leave it in there for a total of 12 weeks. I'm around week 5 now. It was a 1.085 OG.
Originally, I planned to bottle it after a few weeks and then just store it away until Christmas, but I figured one bucket is much less...
I live in Elk Grove, moreso in the Laguna area. I work downtown, but I just received a promotion and will be working in an office in Elk Grove.
We should start an HBT Sacramento club!
My Christmas beer this year is an old ale style. I'll be using 12oz bottles to have more to share around. They'll be gifts to family, most of whom are not beer drinkers at all. I wanted to brew something that can be drank right away or can be kept for a long time on a shelf (or if I catch a...
