I'm currently aging some RIS (~10%) in secondary. I'll be looking bottle some of it in the next few weeks. I just picked up the following yeast as they were discounted. A couple questions: 1. Which one of these would you use: CL23 or Cote des Blancs (They are both high ABV tolerant) 2. Since...

After doing a bit more research, I think I may have found a solution...using basic conversion methods. I will delete the thread shortly, but am open to suggestions.

Sorry all...that's the best title I could think of. :) Here's my question: I have a recipe for a 5.5g fermentor volume. I'd like to increase that to 7ish. Is there a calculator out there? I've looked, but can't find one that does that. Here are some stats on the recipe & equipment. Keggles for...

So, getting a recipe together and had the following idea for a hoppy, rye flavored hefeweizen: 33% Wheat 33% Rye 33% Pilsner 1lb Rice hulls (surely needed based on mash thickness) 3.5oz Columbus or Citra @ 60 3.5oz Amarillo @ 0 3.5oz Amarillo or Williamette @ Dry hop ~7 days Some type of Weizen...

First time post...apologies if this isn't the correct area. I didn't see any section for aging, so I thought I'd drop it in here. I recieved an Oak Barrel from a friend at a local brewery in OKC. The brewery used it once to age one of their seasonal beers. I've had it for a few months in my...
