Thanks. I was going to use a tablespoon at bottling. I put a teaspoon in the mash and couldn't detect it after the boil.

Not sure what you mean by "keg quickly kicked"?

HAHA.. I will get right on that! ;)

Good call. Sorry about that.

Hello Fellow brewers, Happy Friday! I will be brewing a clone of Rouge's hazelnut Brown tomorrow. I am going to brew this batch for a friend that loves this style. Then bottle it (UGGGGHHH!) , and I haven't had to bottle for several years. (feel bad for me). LOL I would like to hear if any of...

Hey all. I brewed a Oatmeal chocolate stout last week. I plan on kegging, but want a few bottles to submit to a contest. Is there an easy peazy way to figure out how much dextrose to put in the few bottles to get those to carb? Last time I poured from a keg to a bottle for this very same...

I did a orange cream ale that several women enjoyed, including my wife. In fact, I had to do another batch, by request. It was quite popular with the ladies. I liked it as well.

Doooood! Those are sweet! Nice work!

I don't know if it was thermal shock, a previous "bump" I didn't realize was that bad, or a team of tiny evil beer knomes with diamond tip glass cutters. All I know is glass will be strictly for secondary from now on, unless all my plastic is full, and I HAVE to brew for some special reason. It...

Well....it finally happened. I broke another carboy. The first time this happened to me it was empty. I was sanitizing it before racking my wort to ferment. It slipped out of my hands and hit the garage floor, and BLAMBO! Needless to say, I saved the wort and still had a great beer, but every...

I havnt personally, brewed any berry beers. I have brewed a few fruit beers. I don't know if I would pair fruit with an IPA. It seems to me the hoppiness would over take the fruit flavor. Unless, your not looking so much for the flavor, and more for the sweetness. I just did an apricot...

This is very frustrating! LOL However, I am happy for all you folks. I bought 2 starter plants from a local home store, and planted them about 4 weeks ago. I have watered them semi regular (as its spring), and used a good mixture of potting soil with built in fertilizer. They have just shrivled...

Hello, So I am going away from my normal pale ale and American ale routine and mixing it up for a couple beers. I wanted to try a fruity beer for spring and have done the blue moon clone enough. So I brewed up a batch of light ale and asked the guy at my lhbs about his apricot extract. He...

Hello, fellow home brewers, I brewed a blonde ale last weekend, and pitched a yeast that was harvested from a previous batch. The yeast strain I used was Wyeast 1056. I followed the process of washing it with a boiled and cooled gallon of water, racking the top layer to a 1 gal. carboy...

Thanks everyone! This confirms what I was thinking. And the quick science refresher was helpful. As soon as football season is over, gonna get back to increasing my beer knowledge! Lol. Cheers!

Hello All, So...I guess I am on batch.....15 or 16?? now. I have been all grain brewing for about a year and a half. (and loving it) I do 5 gal. batches (eventually 10...when funds allow), and I batch sparge. I use a 5 gal. Igloo cooler as a mash tun. I always sparge around 170 to 175, 10 min...
