I live in Louisville. Which brewery are you talking about? Though we're known for bourbon, there's some good beer being brewed here. I'd love to travel North and hit the IN and MI breweries. Hello, Dark Horse!

Great question. I know a Hefeweizen sure tastes amazing out of the traditional tall 0.5L glass. Allows the head to build up properly.

33,007 + 4.5 gal Bier de Garde + 4.5 gal Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald clone = 33,016 gallons (I messed up my boil volumes)

Ha!! I get the same grief from my wife. May I suggest brewing styles she likes? Mine likes an American Wheat that I do. But never stop brewing!

My earlier question was wondering whether adding a sugar like honey could kick-start stalled fermentation. I recently brewed a batch which had a FG above what my target was. Could a sugar addition get those yeast going again?

Is this a good solution to a FG reading that is higher than the target? How much honey are we talking about? Thanks!

5 gal Southern Hemisphere IPA 5.25 gal Kolsch 18141.75 + 10.25 = 18152 gal

Great question. Wondering the same thing as it regards ordering DME in bulk. Could save $$ that way, but most recipes call for DME and LME. If I correct for OG, should DME be interchangeable for LME?

Wouldn't dispute anything said on here. Good thing is grains are cheap to replace. Can dump em in compost bin if they've gone bad. Hops should be no problem since they're vacuum sealed.

Would love to see a pic! Great idea. How much of the bottom did you etch? Same basic concept as Mentos in diet coke.

Brewed the oatmeal stout on MLK, sat in primary then bottled two weeks ago. I used 1.2 oz of maple syrup and dextrose to make up the remainder of priming sugar. Forgot the good advice and put the maple syrup in for 2-3 or so of boil (dextrose had been in for 10min by then). I like the...

Ericbw, Had the same issue almost exactly. I calculated the OG to be just above 1.060 but it measured at 1.050-1.052. Still in the primary so not sure how far down the gravity will drop.

5 gal American Wheat 5 gal White House honey ale = 13675.5 gallons

I thought Carter legalized home brewing during his term 30+ years ago. Am I wrong?

Check out www.myoldkentuckyhomebrew.com and go to their Beer Making portion. I've used their American Stout recipe before. Upped the sugars to increase ABV but had to up hops a bit too to stay within parameters. There is a converter for AG or Extract depending on which type they start with...

What were the alpha percentages on the hops you used? That will affect ibu just like amount and addition time. I've found rather widely different ibu calculations from various places. I think a black IPA I dis varied by 30+ from site to site.

Thank you all! So far I've been trying different recipes and rather happy with he results. Time to try repeating some. Might be time time to buy a brewing software. And I'm excited to have that Mr Malty site as a good excuse to put off grading papers tonight.

Can you clarify the process of late extract addition? Would this mean I might add my buttering hops at 60 min but my extract well after that? How does one know the right amount of yeast to add? I've started making yeast starters a day before. They're 4cups of water and 1cup of my malt...

Brewed the Honey Ale this past weekend with my dad in addition to an American Wheat (trying to be efficient with what none of have enough of...time). Thought the OG would be higher but it came out a 1.050. Living in Louisville with rather hard water, I skipped the gypsum. Also cut the...

Being an inexperienced extract brewer myself (6 brews under my belt) but having picked the brain of my quite knowledgable all-grain brewing neighbor, I'd recommend a yeast starter so that your good guys beat whatever is floating around in your home atmosphere to metabolization of the sugars...
