Suoer excited. This weekend i am kegging my first batch of this and a raspberry red ale. Olan to have a tasting party this weekend. I will post a pick. Also i followed everything exceot for the yeast. I used Whit labs 320 to control ester andnphenol taste.
Im surprised i didnt get a response but i would like to update that i went with vintners puree. Raspberries are currently about $4 for 60oz and the puree was $18 for 3lb. When all mixed together the smell was amazing. Really excited to taste this brew. It sounds weird but the roasted malts add a...

Ok so i want to add fruit to this but am not sure what is the best to do. I can't decide between 2.5lb of frozen raspberries...
Just brewed this on saturday. Followed the recipe exactly. Took 5 limes to get .5oz. Probably add the lime aid mid week. Will keep update. Also i did change the yeast to WL320 just for better ester and phenol control. Also the motueka hop has such an amazing aroma.
I think Im going to do the old fashioned split batch. Ill do half with the limeade and half without. I will use the WL320 though. Just can't stand that clove and banana taste in anthing but pumpkin beer lol.
Again I just want everyone to know that my first post on this page was in response to...
I brew a similar beer with just sorrachi Ace. I saw this recipe and really want to try it but For some reason I am against the limeade addition. Has any one done this with just the hops and zest? Also i was looking to use WL320 instead becuase i dont want any clove or banana flavor since there...
I doubt its infection becuase it is oddly crystal clear. Probable becuase I use the 1056. Last time I used S-05, which also came out very clear. I believe beer smith has me at 20 IBU or so. Also, I do .5 sorachi ace at 10min and .5 at 5min

OK so I had two things go wrong with this beer. First was I wanted to mash at 152F but I think it was too cold outside for...
On my cheaper beers i stopped racking to a secondary but i think i will go back to it. I seem to be picking up an u wanted sour in the beer. It is not terrible but it is something that i never had when using a secondary.
Just a littke update. I got the pump on saturday. It is about the dimensions of a credit card. I used an old 12v DC adapter to power it. I was shock at how much water this little thing can move. I am going to wire it to a rheostat and a switch for easier use. Only thing I would worry about is...

Has anyone used this pump? It was cheap and i had a gift card for amazon so I bought it. It seems like it would be ideal for moving wort from the mash tun to the kettle since it is a weaker smaller pump.
Here is my strut build. My burner stand sits at a perfect hight so i designed it for my mash tun and a spot for a HLT. If anyone is interested i can post the dimensions.
