Have any of you fermented a big RIS with LalBrew Voss Kveik? Any info on flavor profiles, alcohol tolerance, and fermentation temps would be appreciated..

It's been a good while since I posted in the forums, so I thought I would share what I've been up to. I brewed a Quad with a friend yesterday. We pulled an extra 4.5 gallon parti-gyle from the grist. I decided to let the wort sour in a bucket overnight with a handful of unmilled 2 Row. It held...

What's your preferred yeast for an English Barleywine? Why do you prefer it?

I'm just curious how long you folks have used the same buckets for brewing? I have 2 that have been used for about 2.5 years. I imagine they have both fermented about 175 gallons each in that time. They still look great aside from a slight staining. I recently ordered a new bucket, but I haven't...

Every year for the holidays I bake a bunch of traditional German treats to give as gifts to my family. One of the most requested treats is a type of cookie called Lebkuchen. It's basically a type of gingerbread, but with a lot more flavor complexities. Being of German origin I take great pride...

How ya likes me now?!

So, I've made a heck of a lot of yeast starters in my homebrewing adventures. I've seen just about every scenario when it comes to how different yeasts react in my starter vessel. Well.... Today I've been noticing something I've never observed before. I'm spinning a 1.5L starter of Wyeast -...

I needed to take a 2 gallon bucket fermenter out of my ferm chamber today to make room for a new 5 gallon batch. When I picked it up, there was a little puddle of beer under it. The stupid bucket has a pin-hole leak on the bottom. It's not quite finished fermenting, and I don't have a secondary...

Do any of you kind folks know of any suppliers who carry El Dorado?

So what will your last brew of the year be? And when? I'm brewing BM's Cream of Three Crops with a few tweaks tomorrow morning.

What do you do more often? Design your own recipes or use recipes from other sources such as books, kits, or internet? My last 20 (or so) batches have been; - one kit - 3 recipes from HBT - the rest designed by myself

Why do I always end up having to fart when I'm racking or bottling beer? The same thing happens when I'm on a date! :smack:

Can I use pectic enzyme to clear my hard apple cider after fermentation is complete? The instructions on the package say to add it before fermentation. Will it kill my yeast? I plan to bottle carb...

You don't need to use real chocolate to make a chocolate stout. With the proper balance of chocolate malt and other malts, you can achieve a nice chocolate flavor and aroma in a stout! Thanks for listening! That is all...

So I made a batch of hard apple cider with some granny smiths I grew in the back yard. I used S-04 to ferment it. After 4 weeks at 64F in the primary it went from 1.048 to 1.002, so I racked it to secondary to age it a few months before bottling. When I racked I had an extra quart, so I put that...

Do you remember when you were a kid, and you put a candle in your jack'o'lantern? Do you also remember that wonderful aroma of the candle flame burning the pumpkin? Well... I'm thinking I'd like to burn a pumpkin on my grill and add it to a porter mash. I'm not talking about turning it in to...

So tonight there will be a "Blue moon", which only happens every few years or so.. I'm going to honor it by drinking a Blue Moon Pumpkin Ale. Keep your eyes in the skies tonight, and raise a pint to the man on the moon! :mug:

I picked the apples from my back yard. I cut off the bruised areas and and chopped them up. Cores, skins and all.. Then I boiled the apples until it turned to apple sauce. I used my boat motor to help.. Strained the apple sauce with a room temp pseudo sparge..

Howdy Folks! Forgive me, but I also posted this question on the thread mentioned here-in to try and get a quick response..... I have a bunch of fresh apples that I just picked, and I want to make something similar to this recipe...
