Brewed today and it was just easier to put the dextrose in at the end of the boil. Ended up making it a 15 gallon batch (for three kegs).... split three ways and pitched US-05 / S-04 / Mangrove Jack Belgian Tripel #M-31 -Mike Recipe: 100th batch! American Stout TYPE: All Grain Style...

I'll report back.

The goal is to have a keg of the "imperial version" of the American stout and second keg (all malt / no dextrose). Beersmith can easily calculate the ABV% bump but what I really want to avoid what is perceivably too much. The BSG pack of dextrose I have is 4 pound but that seems excessive...

Hey, I made it batch 100 is next.... I want to do a split batch of American Stout.... but then drop #1 or #2 of dextrose (corn sugar) into the fermenter at high kroysen or just after. How much dextrose do you think, I can sneak into a 5 gallon (half of the) batch? This is recipe for the full...

i stood up another couple 6.5s today....

I used Mangrove Jack's - M12 Kviek Yeast (Voss Strain) fermented at 92F.... warm up with whatever method you have.

I got lazy... I racked to beers into two kegs (8% IPA US-05) and then left the yeast and 1/2 gallon of beer in the side yard next to the trash cans. Today it's like 90F outside and I discovery my lazy ways.... with bubbling and flies in the fermenters. Note: Fermenters are 7 gallon with...

Hey thought I'd share my failure "success" in accidentally doing a double blind test. I brewed 10 gallons of Double IPA 8.1% all 2 row (10ml Columbus hop extract, 10ml Centennial hop extract, 1/2# Amarillo at the end of the boil, 4oz times two dry hop charges with Citra). I put 5 gallons of...

Q: I wonder what it's like working in a brewery where you can just pull a beer on tap during your working shift. A: COVID-19 Anybody else?

I now use the 7 gallon FerMonster, that might seem like too much headspace but I'm always done in 10-12 days so I think the risk of oxidation is minimal.

looks bad to me... i've never had anything like that. I'd be willing to smell / taste it. If you keg, I'd do that. If you bottle, not sure if you might have problems. I wish you luck.

Good that you are focusing on your health. I know that beer has affected my weight and as a cyclist I feel that I could be a lot happier on and off the bike if I was able to drop below the 225lbs (6'1") size that I am. But then again, 8% IPAs.

The honest answer is "as long as needed:".... but usually primary fermentation for ales is 2-3 days. I never need a blow off now that I have learned to control my fermentation temp and have fermenters with antiquate headspace. That being said there are a few yeasts that are known to blow...

Yes, we've done this a few times. I think the question is more about is it fair / is it worth it. My volume is 15 gallons finished into 3 kegs. 40# of grain in a 70-quart mash tun This was the batch before last... Recipe: 092 I have a dream - NEPA Recipe Specifications...

I agree I used the kryo hops only for dry hopping into the fermenter. This time I used a pound of Amarillo in the kettle and the time before I used a pound of Azacca.

My buddy has a kegorator for two cornioes. No brewing equipment. He ships 50# 2-row and a dozen ounces of cryo hops to my house. I provide the dry yeast and he gets two kegs of beer. He may or may nor show up on brewday. My wife probably prefers that he doesn't. What do you think? I...

Sometimes I read a post about someone that stopped homebrewing for X years and is taking it on again. That's not me... I brewed a 130 gallons in 10 batches all-grain in the last 12 months with my brew budy. But I've been away from HBT, no new brewing books... generally just coasting on the...

I bottled in swing top pirate looking growlers before I switched to kegs. If the pressure got too high they would puke a little. But one cracked in half.

Oxiclean is great. I have a hop basket that was so clogged up it would hold water. Just soaked it over night in a bucket of oxiclean and sprayed everything off in the morning. I was ready to throw it out.

I used my new ITC-308 wifi to ferment a beer. Here are my issues with it: RPReplay-Final1561480997 by m1k3 posted Jun 25, 2019 at 9:47 AM Let's say the temp was 69.5F... If I change the temp to 69F, the cooling turns on. If I change the temp to 70F the heating turns on. It should respect the...
