It makes a great saison.

The cidery flavor has completely gone away. This is a great beer.

This is my weldless stand. It's made of Super Strut from Home Depot. this pic is from last spring. It's not a HERMS anymore. I've added a panel and a RIMS tube to heat the mash.

I brewed the same recipes from CYBI. I followed the Fullers fermentation regimen almost exactly due to the rebrew show going on about how important it was. I also made my starter size based on Mr. Malty calcs. I'm a little bummed that the Pride is very cidery at this point. Its only been kegged...

My dad has been talking about a similar sap idea of replacing some of the water in a porter recipe with maple sap. You might save this idea till spring and tap some birch trees instead.

You must be extremely organized. If I tried that I would quickly FUBAR both batches.:)

Well the pump was seizing again this weekend. It wouldn't loose prime, it just wouldn't pump. After about 5 mins of swearing like a drunken sailor I decided to take the head apart. Sure enough the impeller was really tight. I drilled it out with the 17/64 bit and it worked again. The impeller...

Bell's is my favorite. Really rich and munichy. Strong too. Warms me up very nicely after freezing all evening in my tree stand.

I do the same thing in the summer for lagers. I also aerate in the morning just to make sure the yeast are getting the O2 they need.

Well, this is a tale of a brew day that I will not soon forget. At least till the muscle soreness wears of at least. The plan was my doppelganger bock recipe that was the best beer that I brewed last year with my cooler system. A few tweaks to adapt it to my new RIMS rig. Sounds simple enough...

That is pretty much what I needed to know. I calculated this element at about 87 w/inch. Would this fall in the LWD area? What is the range of an LWD element? Or better yet, What are the ranges for ULWD, LWD, MWD, and HWD elements? Also, does the material of construction effect heat transfer and...

I have a question about an element that I have and plan on using in my MLT RIMS tube. It is a Richmond RP10868LH 120v/1440w resistored stainless steel element. I can't seem to find out what watt density this is. I have even called their tech support but they have untrained phone operators and...

+1 on the rate of boil. I have always heard that a minimum of 8% per hour boil off rate is needed to drive off DMS. I have also heard that with pilsen malt around 15%/hour is a good rate to insure that your driving it off.

I know I wouldn't have.
