Kegged and carbed my batch on Friday and have been drinking all weekend...tastes better each day. OG of 1.072, kept in primary 3 1/2 and finished at 1.018...gonna get another batch of this in the queue. Used yeast harvested from a bomber of Brutal Bitter that I stepped up over a week
Is it OK to rotate kegs that are fully carbed and under pressure with new batches for some variety? I have a two-tap kegerator and the kegs on now are about 1/2 and 2/3 full...meanwhile I have 4 other brews in various stages.
Can I take these 2 off and rotate on 2 full kegs to force carb and...
Maybe they are...i'm a NOOB! This is my 6th batch, 3rd that is from a recipe off HomeBrewTalk. I've been reading through the forums and seeing a lot of contradictory statements, and my first 3 kits suggested using a secondary.
Should I leave it in primary for 3-4, then condition in the keg for...
Dead Guy is one of my favorites...going to brew today for a homebrew Oktoberfest party in 5 weeks. I'm planning on 1-2 weeks in primary with another week in secondary (3 weeks total) then let it mellow in a keg for another 2 weeks. Do you think that will be enough time? I'm using Pacman that I...
Gearing up for a home brew Oktoberfest (not all German style beers, but who's complaining) for last weekend in October. Brewed a Belgian IPA last night and going to do a dead guy clone this weekend. Thats roughly about 5 weeks from kettle to keg tap, should be enough time to mellow with 2 weeks...
Brewed up an Irish red and kegged my Kolsch today. Also harvested Pacman from a bomber of Rogue Brutal Bitter that I am going to step up this week for a batch of Dead Guy Clone next weekend.
Thanks for the heads up...I've found conflicting info on the Internet so I've emailed NBB. As for the yeast I have growing its actually from bear republic Racer 5, I've collected 3 bottles of Belgo dregs and was about to start it up tonight. I guess I'll wait for a response from NBB.
Thanks...was this for your original 6 gal batch size or scaled down for a 5 gal extract batch? I'll hunt around for some belgian IPA extract recipes for ideas for steeping grains.
I harvested yeast from 3 bottles of Belgo over the weekend and have been stepping up slowly so I can brew this up...
So how'd it turn out? Belgo is one of my favorites.
Yours looks great in the glass...any way you can upload an extract version? It'll be a couple years before I make the transition to all-grain.
