When I did this last year, I followed an internet recipe and put 5 oz full flavored Torani Blood Orange in the keg, racked on top of it and it was a little too much. Your method will work, adding a little at a time.
Wow, this forum is amazing. Quick replies and I'm kicking myself right now because I knew the answer and must have had a brain freeze or maybe because I only brew occasionally. Taking a reading now and will take another on Sunday. Thanks guys!!!
Here's something I've not run into yet. I've brewed a recipe that says I can keg or bottle after 14 days. It's 14 days now and the fermentation doesn't seem to be done. Airlock still bubbling although only about once a minute. Question is, should I wait until it stops or can I keg it now?
Re ferm temp, I hope I didn't screw my batch up. Got my wort down to 95 via chiller and strained to carboy, topped off to 5.5 gallons with cool water and the temp was 76-78 so I pitched my 1L starter (3711). Wanted to ferm in low 80's so wrapped a heating pad on at lowest temp and when I went...
I'm brewing a Saison partial today using Wyeast 3711. I made a 1L starter 48 hours ago and it's starting to drop out. If I used the same DME I'm using in the recipe and it doesn't smell sour, shouldn't I be OK to pitch the whole thing? I don't want to lose any of these very hearty yeasties.
Thanks again. Don't have Beersmith (yet) so will use your numbers. I want this to be a great beer and obviously, this one is in the upper end of that catagory. BTW, corrected sparge temp in my last post.
Thanks for the quick reply. Got thrown off my schedule so now it's Monday. Will do a small 1L starter. One more quick question. I'm new to partial mashing and am wondering what temp you get the water to before adding the grain to have it stabalize at 150? The last partial I did, I started...
Hi Cat, been following this thread for a month now and am finally going to brew today with the only change being Strisselspalt for the Hallertauer and Saaz. Just a few questions I couldn't find the answers to. I see some used a 1 or 2L starter. Is this necessary with the 3711? I plan to keg...
All critique's appreciated.....
