thanks for the info, I'm going to take some time to look through that yeast cycle page. I was thinking I'd spike some new yeast with the priming sugar next year, figuring that after all that time aging and the high ABV, I wouldn't have much carbonation from the original yeast. Do you think I...

Thanks for the input on the 15 day-primary. I guess I'll make sure it's down to essentially no bubbling before racking it? It's slowed down pretty far now, even with the champagne yeast having just gone in 36 hours ago (probably a bubble through the blowoff tube every 2-3 seconds). I had...

I have my first barley wine fermenting right now, I'll describe the recipe/process so far, then ask my questions: Fermentables: 16 lbs pale LME 1 lb pale DME Hops: 2 oz columbus (~15% aa) 2 oz bravo (~10% aa) 2 oz willamette (5.6% aa) Yeast (all liquid vials): White Labs WLP007 (High...

I'm hoping someone has tried to clone this stout. It is my favorite stout I've had...hands down. Described as an oatmeal espresso stout, brewery's website says this checks in at 5.8% ABV 1.059 OG 37 IBU that's all I actually know about it, except that it's delicious:mug:. Anyone know...

Update: -> to remind: I couldn't get warrior, used colombus instead, amarillo was only available in leaf, all others in pellet. -> used extract recipe, but forgot irish moss -> new burner cause wildly inaccurate steeping temperatures (target 67 celcius, good thing it wasn't all-grain!) and two...

Firstly, allow me to say to all the people advocating that people sneak hops to someone who says they are allergic to hops is a horrible, terrible idea. Is it possible that she's not actually allergic and the headaches are caused by something else (like the booze itself or a grain, etc)? yes...

To the people who say I'm not going to get a smoother bitterness: have you actually brewed like this before, or are you assuming? Everytime I've read about someone doing this (though it seems rare), they've been thrilled with the results. I have read a few comments that it wasn't 'as hoppy'...

I'm nearly-new at brewing, trying yooper's recipe with friends this month, but one big change. I am one of the few who haven't bought into the IPA thing; it always comes across too harsh for my palate. So, we're pushing the entire hop bill to FWH-don't hate on me yet. Even the dryhop ones...
