I won't complain, have been brewing for many years and although I live in the Denver area I have never been to GABF. Ordered my tickets for members only with my iphone while sitting at a car dealership in Las Cruces NM. and did not have any issues except for the short time that TM holds the...
I just moved and filtered a Munich Dunkel that I made 3 weeks ago to a keg and am going to let it lager for awhile. Question is should I put the CO2 on it now or wait awhile?

Has been 2 weeks since making my second batch of this recipe. I posted awhile back that it had gotten down to 1.010. I checked it last night and it has gotten down to 1.000. Starting gravity was at 1.076, this will make this one at 10.1% alcohol. It tastes awesome.

Yes, I also hit 1.000 on my first batch, new batch is down to 1.010. Don't know if it will go lower, may pitch another pkg of yeast and see what happens. First batch was incredible, my best beer yet.

Got my ingredients today to make a 10 gallon batch this Saturday, only difference was last time LHBS only had german pilsner and german rye, this time it will have belgian pilsner and german rye. Got the yeast starter about to be started. Can't wait.:ban:

I usually name mine something to do with the music I am listening to at the time. My last one was a Kolsch that came out at 1.045 so I named this one Kolsch 45.

I am in Kiowa CO and brew at 6800 ft. I also have read that hop utilization is affected by altitude but I don't know for a fact. I don't brew hop bombs yet so no so worried about it. If this was the case it would be nice if beersmith let you set the altitude and would then convert ibu's for...
Where the Buffalo Roam with Bill Murray, great drunk movie. My buddies and I wore a vhs out in the mid 80's while in the Army watching this movie on Friday and Saturday nights.

I think I sampled mine too much. While checking the carbonation again yesterday I emptied the keg:( I am going to make another batch this weekend but will do a 10 gallon batch this time. It is so good:mug:

Mine started at 1.062 and has been in primary at 71* for 4 weeks. I started it cold crashing yesterday and checked the final gravity and it was at 1.000.
Fermentation is complete, after a 3 day diacetyl rest, final gravity stopped at 1.012. With OG at 1.058 and FG at 1.012 that is 6%A ABV. Now starts to slow drop to lagering temps.
Just measured the final reading on the lager I made a few weeks ago, the starting specific gravity started at...
