Now that I'm reviewing our notes that batch actually had a little problem during the boil. We actually sparged too much and boiled very close to 8 gallons (so much so that some over boiled over the side). I<m readjusting with my calculator now and this is what I'm thinking: 9lbs 2 row 2...

Ok I get the concept. I'm not kegging but bottling instead. I don't see this as having an impact on the process but I figured I'd mention it. The one issue the my brew partner and I have is that I don't think either of us have the fridge space to cold crash as you've described. So I,ll...

As for fermentation schedule, we fermented in primary for about 6 days, until it dropped to 1.008. We then transferred to secondary for 8 days and dry hopped in secondary for the entire time. Our efficiency hasn't been great usually around 65-70% so a new recipe, given 11 lbs 2-row, 1lb...

There was one other issue that I forgot to mention. There is a huge sediment at the bottom of these bottles which takes away from its otherwise excellent clarity. How can I resolve this issue?

hmmm great ideas... I will definitely take that into consideration.

So we are looking at brewing version 2.0 of this beer and while family and friends genuinely liked it I wanted to improve on a couple of items. I think it works well in the 5-5.5% abv range. The bitterness is also good where it's at. What I want to improve is two-fold: 1-Malt complexity...

Exactly how it tastes hahaha

Also, Chickypad, my idea was to have an amber-ish coloured ipa. I was going to try to accomplish that with the crystal, do you have any other input about how I can get to that colour? Thanks

Interesting feedback, thank you for your insight thus far. So, I figure I will add a second addition of Simcoe at 5 mins and move the Cascade to 5 minutes as well. Haven't dry hopped yet but I can definitely give it a try. Any ideas of what I should use for dry hopping? (I was thinking...

Going to be brewing this one this weekend. Here is my idea for the recipe: Hopaholic Expected OG 1.065 IBU 82 Recipe 13lbs two row malt 1lb light Carastan (L15) 0.5lb Crystal (L40) 1oz Simcoe (13%) (60 mins) 1 oz Zythos(10%) (15 mins) 1 oz Cascade (4%) (10 mins) 1 oz...

Hey Bauer, what's the progress on your beer? After three weeks, here are the findings on my Sweet Potato Ale: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/yam-god-437857/

So after 3 weeks, I am very happy with this beer. Still sweet but the complexity of the malt profile is excellent. It is smooth and very full bodied. The initial alcohol-y flavor seems to have gone away. The only draw back is that the beer doesn't taste or smell much like sweet potatoes...

I'M interested to hear how this turns out. My fellow brewer and I made a Sweet Potato Beer a couple of weeks ago (check it out: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/yam-god-437857). We debated going whether or not we should ad fall spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon etc. but then we did it with...

An easy fix is to keep some powdered malt handy.

It wasn't the intent. we wanted to mash at 155 but we mashed outdoors and it was somewhat cooler than we thought. We may strike higher next time. Any other ways we can attack that issue? It was my second full mash ever so help would be appreciated. Overall the taste is good it just tastes a...

A sweet potato beer just in time for Canadian Thanksgiving...well, we missed the mark (complete failure on our 'test' run). Either way, it was a week late but it will be just on time for American Thanksgiving. Yam Of God Vol.2 ABV 8.5% OG 1.068 FG 1.006 IBU 21.88 Efficiency:71%...

Pholdogg that sounds awesome! Would you mind sharing the recipe. I'm really curious and would like to try this but I don't know where to start.
