So if someone doesn't like the taste of the combination of spices typical in a pumpkin beer, it's then hypocritical of them if they brew a beer with spice (or any other atypical ingredient, apparently). Makes perfect sense.

Pbr.

There are lots of good calculators online for determining how much priming sugar to use. I like this one: http://www.brewersfriend.com/beer-priming-calculator/ Some say to cut your priming sugar amounts down by 1/2 or a 1/3 when priming in the keg to avoid overcarbonation, while others just...

That's really cool! I'd love to see what his homebrewery looked like.

Personally I'd go with option 1 and just chalk it up as a mistake. It happens. I understand wanting to salvage it though, so if you go with either of the others, best of luck!

I have a mango habanero hefeweizen that I've brewed three times now. Those who try it either love it or hate it.

In!

I can't find anything on it. Extremely doubtful since the IBU scale is all based on the bittering compounds specifically found in hops. I'm no brew scientist but I think it'd be difficult to impossible to shoehorn whatever compounds make coffee bitter into it and come up with a meaningful...

Placement of the probe is a strictly private matter between the extraterrestrials and I. To be serious though, what exactly are you asking?

Looks like beer!

Couldn't tell you the actual time, only that it was far too long.

A nanobrewery around here tossed an entire birthday cake into the mash for a beer for their anniversary party. Never got a chance to try it but reports from the field indicated it was still recognizable as beer. So I think it's doable, no reason you can't, but I'll let you try it first. ;)

Condolences on your loss. ;) I'm confused about what should have happened though. Did you mean to put your blowoff on the gas in port in order to carb your kegged beer with CO2 from the fermentation?

Interested to hear what you think as I'm thinking of cobbling one together in the future.

I really hope you're kidding with this advice. Go get a diagnosis from an actual doctor if you're worried about an allergy.

I brewed a Vienna lager that ended up tasting like underripe granny smith apples, or a cider that hasn't had time to age and smooth out. Just overpowering acetaldehyde taste. I thought it might have been too green so I kept it around eight months, but the green apple persisted. It was my first...

Every time I've used fruit it's floated at the top of the vessel. I don't cold crash, just siphon from below the fruit layer. Never had a problem with anything getting into the hose. I don't think cold crashing will make the fruit drop anyways. These aren't microscopic proteins or yeast cells...
