I'd like to know too. mine are doing the same.

of course my version will probably just that..my version.

I put 4 oz of cocoa nibs, 1/2 stick of cinnamon, 2 anchos (seeds removed) & 3 vanilla pods...I am soaking some cherry wood chips in brandy. I think I'll add that in a couple of weeks.

I thought when you boil, the water evaporates from the wort and thus creates a higher potential alcohol. No?

I threw another packet of yeast in but I sure hop it doesnt dry it out. That would suck. A couple of more days Ill check again the gravity.

My rendition is fermenting. I checked gravity after 9 days it was at 8%. Im trying for 11%. I had to transfer because I dropped a damn chopstick in...dont ask...so I poured some of the yeast sludge in so I hope its enough to bring it up 3 more pts. If not I might have to add another packet of...

So I guess 2 oz to a 5 gallon batch wont do much good eh?

I do too!! It is fun to create in my mind new recipes and its super relaxing to do the actual process of brewing. I dont drink too much nowadays because I am in training. I just let my brother in law come over and drink it up. I also went to the FSIBF this past weekend. THAT was the best beer...

I don't like that new one "Belma."

Yes please tell us where.

This almost exactly what I brewed today. :rockin:

wow I am amateur to most of you. I brewed 70 gallons.

I just ordered a small amount of hops to try you guys out. I was really hoping you'd have some Galaxy.

Thanks. Going to do this for gifts.

Ok I will.
