Hey all, I was having a debate with some buddies. What do you all prefer for flavor and aroma hop additions. I personally stick to 15 min additions for flavor and 5 min additions for my aroma when writing recipes. Some of my buddies seems to prefer 30 min for flavor and 15 and 5 for...

good call. With the frequency I brew, I'm starting to realize the benefits of split batches. Thanks again!

Thanks yooper. I've always loved throwing Munich malt in whatever I may brew. I'm thinking split batch, munich mash, two different hops in two different boils is in my immediate future. Thanks again

sweet, thanks. I'm starting to wonder if I maybe want to do something awesome with this saison as the warmer weather comes...(thought in early December). I might just let it chill, it's not going anywhere.

Hey all, I've had a Saison in Secondary since about September. I'm wondering if it would be best to let it go until spring/summer time, or if it would be worth it to bottle it and just let it condition in the bottle. Any Thoughts? Thanks!

If I were to brew a 5 gallon batch with say, 10-14 lb munich malt ONLY, would it be able to convert enough on it's own? I also was wondering the same thing about Vienna. I'm interested in trying some single malt/single hop beers and really love these two malts, I didn't know if it was...

Hey all, Carbing a small test batch. Think I'll only get a bomber. How much sugar should I use? Now would be a good time for tablets I think... Thanks!

Awesome thread. With all the cleaning and maintenance that goes into brewing, I slack at line cleaning...These ideas can definitely help me address that.

beaksnbeer wins 100% right on the tap. A rubber gasket some how got off kilter and slid under the "front locking ball"??? The mighty perlick failed me. We're all good now. Thanks all!

Lots of good ideas in here, thanks all! Haven't had a chance to mess with it but will this weekend. I know some trouble shooting and a more "fresh" state of mind will help solve this one. haha I have three perlicks, with three kegs attached. I also have a picnic tap I can check out. I'd be...

gotcha. When I attach the black "out" connecter, with or without gas, it pours from the faucet. With gas it pours a lot, without it trickles. I've tried to tighten the faucet and it doesn't make a difference. Maybe is it just pressure? It's a new keg, I'm running three from one regulator and...

I'm thinking it may be the black out connecter. It may have been rattling when I shook it. Either way, I'm relaxin, but help from the pros is always appreciated!

Went to tap a keg, pumpkin beer that's been sitting at 10 psi for about 2 weeks. Whenever I tap it with out gas and have already blead the keg, it won't pour from the faucet. If I put the black out on it, it will pour uncontrollably. If I put the black out on it with no gas, it pours subtly...

5oz corn sugar : 2 cups boiling water, then chill Sounds about right?

yet one more aspect to geek out about. haha
