well its time to take the leap to kegging i guess so im looking for 1 or 2 kegs to get me started. let me know your price or i have some brewing stuff id be willing to trade (flasks, stir plates exc.) the closer to ames iowa the better but i can pick up if its not 2 far
iirc i added around a 1/2 gal to the primary and the rest at bottling time (it was a lot of juice to prime, ill have to check my notes for exact volumes)
so an observation, if you use juice it will be super super cloudy and not want to clear even after crashing, however it is fantastic :mug: i will def brew this again but use gelatin to clear. this flavor is nothing like what you get from the hops at all.
sry about the pix its a little more red irl
today we where looking at some yeast for the first time, and i thought i would share some of the pix. we still need to get a finer grid or something for counting. anyone have any suggestions on the best grid size to get? (sry about the pix its kind of hard with a phone)
I'll snap some pix of the color once I get home. originally I was going to prime using the juice but after trying it with just the whole fruit I decided it needed more flavor so I started adding juice until it got a nice flavor a little bit under what I figured was ideal, I figured this would...
I just transferred my grapefruit juice ipa to secondary, tasted very good and had a nice rich red hue to it from the juice. I used 2 large ruby reds in primary but it wasn't quite enough so I added a 1/2 gal of juice. If the flavors can meld a little more this will be a fantastic beer.
