I will look into brew in bag. You are right about the roasted barley. I was confused. I will definitely let you know how it goes. Gonna brew this evening.

Humps, If I wanted to give your recipe a shot using Extract I just need to replace the 4lbs of Pale 2-Row Malt with 3 lbs of Light Malt Extract correct? 10.00 lb Munich Liquid Extract 3.00 lb Light Liquid Malt Extract 2.50 lb Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 11.9 % 2.00 lb...

Centennial IPA, Jai Alai IPA, Sculpin, and Aleworks IPA. mmmmmm

I have a couple Riserva and would love to try some RR stuff.

How long do you think it would take them to carb? What is your logic on waiting 9 weeks in the bottle? Just wondering as it tasted pretty darn good when I gave it a little taste the other day.

I have a RIS that has been bulk aging since 1/14/12. I was thinking about bottling in the next couple days. What do you guys think about carbonation? Do I need to toss some yeast in before bottling or can I just use my priming sugar and let them sit for 3 weeks?

Have Nugget Nectar and would like to trade for Pliny, Hopslam, Founders KBS or CBS, or Deschutes Abyss.

I was making my second starter ever last night for an Imperial Nut Brown I want to brew this weekend. I shook my vial of yeast before opening and it really fizzed up, leaking out of the top. The pressure forced a fair amount of yeast cake into the lid. So, in my attempts to get every cell into...

Ahhhh, I get it. Thanks guys!

I only have a 2L flask though, so I can't go any larger on the starter. I guess I will just have to get a second vial. Thanks for your help!

I am planning on a slightly higher gravity 5 Gallon brew this weekend (OG-1.086) and am going to be making my first starter. I am using Mr. Malty (as advised by many of the folks on here). I have a 2L starter flask. I have one vial of White Labs Ca. Ale. It appears that Mr. Malty is telling me I...

The answer was to steep the grains (Inc. 2 oz hops), add the magnums and boil for 30 min, and then add the extract/additions. Maynardx- I do plan on breaking up the extract additions. I would like a light final product. Terrapin- They do claim it is directly from Vinnie. One of his many...

Count me in!

Thanks! Just contacted them and they were quite helpful.

I just received the Pliny The Elder Extract kit from Morebeer and am slightly confused by the directions. On the list of hops it says to use 2oz of Magnum Hops for bittering and says to boil for 90 min. The Extract Additions portion says the Extracts/Additions (9.5 lbs Extract, 8 oz...

Thanks guys!

Just took a second gravity reading. (2 days after last) Still stuck at 1.22. Moved it to a warmer room and gave it a little shake. Gonna give it another week before testing again. If still stuck do I pitch more yeast? Same strain as I first used? Should I use a full pack? Thanks, in advance, for...

I am making a porter with a OG of 1.045 and a FG of 1.014. Everything went fine during brewing. Pitched 1 packet of dry ale yeast. After 2 weeks in primary I took my first hydrometer reading today and it is at 1.022. Any reason for concern? Should I give it more time? Shake it up a bit? Thanks...

It is oak powder, if that makes any difference. I was actually planning on letting it age in the bottle till next x-mas time, if I can control myself. Is leaving it in secondary for a few more months and then boggling for the rest of the duration the best way to go? Thanks for the answers already

I am brewing an Oaked Russian Imperial Stout kit and was supposed to put the oak in 3 days into fermentation and leave it in the primary for 10 days. (at which point the kit wanted me to bottle) I totally spaced putting the oak in the primary, which I left the batch in for 2 weeks, and didn't...
