Also Brewed a batch of this recipe on Saturday 4/5/2014. Used .75 crystal 10l, and .5 crystal 80l. Added 1.5 EKG first wort. Other hop additions same. Pitched harvested Wyeast 1203-PC Burton IPA Blend from previous brew. Anyone dry hop this beer? I was thinking after 2-3 weeks primary to keg and...

Yeah, NG. whoops forgot my mash schedule: 113F for 20 min, infusion to 154F for 60 min, decoction mash out 168F hold for 10 min, sparge @ 168F. I kind of hate to go throw some more yeast at this. Should I just culture some from the slurry and build up a starter? thanks

I would also like to thank BM for this recipe. Im on my third batch after purchasing a pound of whole summit hops. I bumped up the IBUs a bit with another addition of Willamette. It is the tastiest beer Ive made to date! Ingredients Amt Name Type # %/IBU 9 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0...

Easily. When you are just starting out all grain brewing there are a several hundred new 'details' one has to pay attention to. Didnt really occur at that moment what a bad idea less than adequate ventilation was in the basement, walking a few feet with hot wort was, etc. Thats why i made the...

My university has access to past issues of Zymurgy (lucky me). I was perusing an issue from 2010 where a letter described the dangers of glass carboys. Happened that someone nearly cut off their hand from one, doing a simple cleaning procedure in a sink. I got to thinking, my god i love this...

thanks guys

I know this has been covered before, but wanted to hear the most current opinion on this.. brewed a cream ale (og 1.049) two weeks 16 days ago with WLP 001 Cali Ale- made starter, oxgenated, good fermentation. racked into a keg to condition from the carboy 2 days ago. nice yeast cake on the...

thanks OneShot- ill leave as be.

Hi, Going through my first lagerings, 2 similar boh pils recipes that I didnt quite hit the 5 gal volume for the carboy secondarys. Troob and evap losses as Im trying to get my biab process down. Anyway, Ive been left with quite a bit of headspace in the 5 gal carboys. Ive been lagering the...

Cyclman yes will be doing a d rest. Was just thinking of moving the pail upstairs to a closet~65f for a few days after two weeks in the primary. Thing is my gravity reading right now is pretty close to terminal1.010. Not sure how much more it can drop. Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the trained eyes. Just a bit overwhelmed by that off sour/sulfur smell. Last batch didnt have it. Ill be patient.

Hi all, I brewed a second 5gal batch of Bohemian pils from harvested yeast from the first batch (wyeast urquell 2001). Washed the yeast made a starter, had some good airlock activity from day 2-5 in 49-51F basement, not as robust as the first batch but it was there. OG 1.044, after week and half...

Hi lowog sorry for late reply. I never did pitch another batch of yeast. I just hoped for the best and bottled. That was two half weeks ago, and the beer tastes remarkably good! Carbonated well a bit of a bite and little too sweet for my liking, but that just be the nature of this kit. So I...
