I have room for 4 batches of beer now the hard part. What to put in them LoL! I am thinking at least 10G of Yoopers Dead Guy.

I made two batches of Yoopers dead guy. It is missing something I think it needs a touch of hop flavor to counter the sweetness. I have 1.5 oz of Sazz left in the freezer I want to dry hop it for three days before serving it at a Halloween party. How much should I dump in the keg tonight?

I finely took the advice and RELAXED. I made Yoopers Dead Guy clone twice in a row. I figured as a noob with 4 batches under my belt. Back to back with the same recipe would help with my process. Here is how it went.... 7PM Sat.. Had a Homebrew or two 8pm gathered gear and washed it out...

I kegged some beer this morning after filling my 5gal keg I had enough to fill a 2L bottle so rather then dump 2L of Dead Guy clone I put it in a bottle. looked in the chart and figured out that I need .4oz of table sugar to carb it. of course I don't have a scale that will read that sooo I need...

I just built a budget brew gas system to run a Choc coffee oatmeal stout I brewed. I want to move a Dead guy clone into a soda keg so I can use my primary for another batch. Will there be any issue with kegging the dead guy and hitting it with 30psi brew gas to set the seals and let it age?

I brewed a Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Stout on Aug 11th. I was hoping for a creamy glass of goodness at 8AM. Well its been in a keg aging for three weeks now. It has a pretty strong coffee flavor bordering on acidic. I cold extracted a 1/2LB and added it at flame out. I am wondering if pouring...

I had two qt's of wort left over so I boiled it poured it into canning jars fresh from the dishwasher boiled flats and rings. Let it cool both sealed an I put them in the fridge. How long will it keep? I want to use it for starters.

Brewed a batch of Yoopers Dead Guy. My goal is 4 weeks in primary then 3-4 in a secondary force carb and drink. When I rack out of primary I want to add a new batch of dead guy wort to the yeast cake. If I rack and add do I need to wash the yeast? What about the hop leaves that have settled into...

I brewed 10 gal of oatmeal coffee stout just over two weeks ago. So I have two nice looking yeast cakes sitting under some nice dark stout. When I bought the grain for the stout I paid the extra $9 and bought the other 30lb of american 2row in the bag (bag discount). fast forward a couple weeks...

I am making Yoopers Dead Guy clone. I mashed at 158 for 45min. sparged to about 7 gal boiled for 1 hour. now that it's cool I took a reading and it is 1.078:drunk: I have not piched my yeast starter yet I was waiting for it to get below 75deg. For some reason I decided to keep my tail runnings...

I made a Packman starter last night. For a Dead Guy clone that I am brewing on Sunday morning. This morning while swirling I spilled half of it. I now have 1c of starter left in the jar I made another 1/2c DME + 2c water. I am planing on adding this to my starter. Will 24 hrs be enough time?

I have about 3 gal that drained out of my mash tun after I was done with it. it was pretty low on the gravity reading. I did not want to dump it because it looked and smelled so good. What can I do with it??
