I've gotten pretty busy lately and my nut Brown ale extract kit is going on 4 weeks in primary. I assume it is perfectly fine and maybe even better with the 2 extra weeks. Is this true?
Yeah, the kit came as a present and my next batch is a nut Brown ale that will be bottled in 2 days. I think I'm going to do th 15 min cascade pale ale next.
Just drank my first batch and it tastes like apples. It was a classic American light kit. 2 weeks primary, and 2.5 weeks bottles. Multiple tasters agreeded that it tastes like apples without being told beforehand. What did I do wrong?
Alright, I will grab some vodka for the future. My OG was around 1.045. It is a 5.5 gal batch in a 6.5 gal fermentor. Anyone think I could have a blow off?
Pretty active fermentation going on and my starsan is actually bubbling uot of my airlock. Is this a big issue as long as I watch it and top it off or should I just top off with some pure water?
I figured it wouldn't be because it is still a relatively low temp for the aluminum/S.S and nowhere close to range needed to change the microstructure, just figured it is always good to ask.
Seems like putting a 212+ F pot into 32 F water could cause a good bit of shock on the aluminum/S.S. Is this anything to worry about? Should it be steeped down to 32 F water?
Wow, that is super easy, thanks woozy! I will definitely be making both now. It's much cheaper and allows me to control that much more of the recipe. Cheers!
I want to do a Belgian Golden Ale for my second brew and I looking at some recipes and most call for around 2 lb Golden Belgian Candi Syrup and I was wondering if table sugar would have the same effect?
