I received a beautiful 6 gal Vadai Hungarian Oak Barrel for Xmas. After opening and reading the instructions it seems that this barrel is really designed for wine (which I do NOT make). I would love nothing more than to ferment some Porters or even some IPA's in this thing! My question(s)...

I did in fact use my refractometer. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Haven't had any issues with the lid up until now. It's been right around 70 deg.

Hi guys. I recently brewed Northern Brewers Heady Topper clone "Off The Topper". All went well. I hit the suggested 1.070 OG Perfectly. I did a 2L Yeast Starter and left it on the stir plate for 24 hours prior to pitching. Ive been using my new 6.5 gal Big Mouth Bubbler as a primary. Ive...

Excellent!!!

Yup, that's the idea of the corn sugar in the recipe. The slightest of flavors, if any would be fine. I'm just trying to figure out the equivalent of syrup to corn sugar.

Up here in NH I have an abundance of syrup from our sap house last month. My IPA recipe calls for 2 lbs of corn sugar in the wort near the end of the boil. This particular recipe is a bomb IPA I've been developing and would love to try a batch with the syrup as a replacement in the boil and...

Yup they are at a consistent 66-70 deg.

Usually the search feature answers most of my questions but I can't really find the answer on this one. I bought ingredients for 3 batches at once and ordered a large bag of priming sugar to cover the job and then some. So being the total amateur that I am.... On bottling day I was...
