Thanks for the responses everyone!

Hi All, I had a quick question regarding aging a tripel. Is there a specific temperature that the beer needs to maintain throughout the 2-3 month aging process? Many thanks for the responses. Cheers, CAbrewing

Thanks daksin. I am doing a partial boil. What split would you recommend? DME at the beginning and all LME at the end?

Hi All, I had a quick question about late LME addition for the Pliny the Elder Clone. The recipe is from AHS. It calls for 8lbs of LME and 1lb of DME. What would be the most appropriate split for this beer? Can I simple add the DME first and the LME 15 minutes left for the boil? Many...

Thanks all!! I decided to crash cool day 6. Its in the keg and carbonating at serving PSI

Hi All, I am currently dry-hopping my Pliny clone and I had a question on timing. I've read on HBT that most people have dry-hopped for 10-12 days. I was told by a friend who brews for a bar that I should only dry-hop for about 5 days. Which duration is the best? I am currently at 5 days...

Thank you all for the responses. Yes I am BIAB. Found some additional info so I think I am on the right track. Thanks for the time and consideration. Cheers

Hi All, I am looking into starting all-grain brewing. I am currently wondering how big of a mash tun I need. I typically brew big beers (IIPAs, Triples, Imperial Stouts / Porters, etc.) with occasional 1.072 OG and under beers. I am wondering if a 32qt stainless steel stock pot would be...

Hi All, I brewed a Westmalle tripel and I have been aging it from 1 1/2 - 2 months on bourbon soaked oak cubes. I also added 6oz of bourbon when I racked it to the secondary for aging. I tasted it last night and it has great bourbon flavor. I was thinking of racking it off the oak cubes and...

Thanks for the replies. One transfer is definitely my preferred option, however I cannot fit the primary in the fridge with the other keg. It can only hold two 5 gallon corny kegs. Not one 5 gallon corny kegs and a 6.5 gallon carboy. Would there be any issue disconnecting the Hefe and taking...

Hi All, I have a question concerning cold crashing. I am brewing a DFH 90min clone this weekend. As you would expect out of a great IPA like this, I will need to dry hop it. I will like to cold crash this beer after dry hopping, however I have a bit of a dilemma. I will have a hefe kegged...

Thanks kingwood. I think I'll check it tomorrow. I did ferment for a full two weeks. It could be a temp thing because I'm fermenting a Weissebier right next to it. Ambient temp is at 69 but during the intense fermentation it was at 62. I'll post an update if I have any other questions. Thanks...

Hi all, I have a tripel aging in the secondary with bourbon soaked oak chips. I also added about 6 oz of bourbon in the 5 1/4 gallon batch as i wanted to have a good bourbon flavor. When I transfered to the secondary I got a bit (but not a whole lot) of the yeast cake in the secondary. It...

Awesome. Thanks jake-k for the quick reply!

Hi guys, I know the title seems weird but I cant seem to find anything concerning my situation. I have a kegerator that fits 2 5 gallon corny kegs. I bought a 2 valve CO2 distributor so I can hook up to kegs. Currently I have a pliny clone rigged up. Here is my situation. I will be kegging...

Has anyone tried the Vinoferm Whiskey Oak Chips? I am planning on brewing a Tripel aged with bourbon soaked oak chips. Originally bought American Oak Medium Toast Plus chips from AHS ans soaking them in bourbon for a week or so, however they seem to be out of stock. I was thinking of buying...

Awesome! Thanks slarkin712. This helps greatly and your conversions make a lot of sense. I am new to brewing so I haven't graduated to all-grain brewing just yet. Only just finished brewing my third batch yesterday (AHS Pliny the Elder clone - the hopping schedule was a blast!) I think after I...

Thanks slarkin, Sorry I may have already asked this, but is the original recipe an extract recipe or all-grain? If it is all-grain, how can I convert it to extract?

Jipper, Thanks for the quick reply and all your efforts. I look forward to your response regarding the Melange 3. Completely understandable if they do not want to relinquish certain recipes :) That said, any recipes they are willing to share would be awesome in my book. The Bruery is, hands...

Jipper, This is great!! I am a little late in the game but I have already signed up for a reminder when the kit is in stock again. I love the Bruery. I've been a fan of theirs for a very long time. I was wondering...have you asked or is it even possible to get an extract recipe for the...
