It is weird to not get tracking info isn't it? I probable buy something everyday online, but it still throws me for a loop when I don't get tracking info. I also hate when I don't get free 3 day shipping. I still shop here, even though they ship slow and charge for for the slow shipping...

I just wanted to say .. #1 Thanks homebrewtalk community, for saving me a ton o cash & showing me www.proflowdynamics.com :mug: #2 Chuck is awesome to work with. #3 I am a freelance network engineer and in no way am I affiliated with Pro flow dynamics.. I just bought a Blichmann...

This beer is the first to be gone at parties at my house and my friends houses. The ladies love the low calories and hint of lime, and guys like that they can drink a ton of them. It's light, crisp clean ale. We have made close to 100 gallons of this beer. I have learned that 1oz of Kaffir...

I could be wrong... What I have read (can't remember where now of course!) 30min additions don't add much in smell, flavor or bitterness. I would skip the 30min add and put those hops in at 60 if you want it more bitter or 5min if you want more smell... that said 38IBU seems right on for an...

From what I have read Loft, is Skinny Dip.. supposedly they changed the name in 08'. I am surprised to see that they used c-40 instead of c-20. 1oz Kaffir seems like WAY to much. They do seem to be giving you a "homebrew recipe" idea, because they didn't mention the third hop, the third...

Sounds like the 2-step mash is the way to go. I'll use 200° water to bring the grains up to 168° next time for the second step and stir it in to make sure I don't overshoot my temp. I'll also add more water for the sparge like Bobby suggested. I can always stop the wort when I hit my pre-boil...

I'll take a stab at it... Skinny Dip Blonde Ale Batch Size (fermenter): 5.25 gal Boil Size: 6.56 gal Boil Time: 60 min End of Boil Volume 5.56 gal Final Bottling Volume: 4.75 gal Ingredients 4.0 oz Victory Malt (25.0 SRM) 12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) 3.33 lbs Pale Liquid...

BigEd says 180-185° and Northcal mentioned 175°. As long as I am rinsing the grains well, not releasing tannins and hitting 168° into kettle, I'd be happy. But rather then experimenting with several batches of beer (time & money) I'd like to find out what temp I should be shooting for on a...

Grain weight: 12 lbs. Grain temperature: 68°, tun temperature: 68° Mashed in with 15.40 qt of water at 168° and ended up with a perfect 152.° for 60 min. Mashed out with 8.40 qt of water at 190° and my temp into the kettle was 158° (10 min rest). Fly sparged with 2.59 gal water at 168°. ( I...

2nd all-grain I've made and I have some questions... I tried a two-step fly sparge today.... I didn't like it (the one-step was nicer on my first all-grain, but my original gravity was WAY off {sparged far to fast and w/ 168° water that didn't heat up the grain bed enough}). The two-step...

Mmm glad to hear that rwfishbu, that's how I did mine! Just racked it to secondary tonight. I converted yours to an extract w/ a mini mash. The OG came out pretty high, but I doubt that will hurt such a sweet beer. I'll post my recipe and steps once it's kegged and drinkable with a photo. Next...

I'd say the smell was "strong".. we couldn't have people over and avoided the family room for 2 solid weeks. It'll be nice to have that keg back. I wonder if it'll be good for the lawn?

Thanks CidahMastah! That's why I didn't want to add 5 more tabs of Campden, because of the weird after taste it gave it... however like you mentioned, a few days later that flavor is gone. p.s. I think it's Campden not camden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campden_tablets) "Campden tablets are...

It sat in primary for about 3 weeks and secondary for 2. Now it's been in the keg at room temp for about 3 more weeks. It didn't even taste like cider, just whatever that smell it gave off during fermentation that made the whole house unpleasant.

I ended up getting a kegging setup faster then I thought, never had to bottle the ciders.:rockin: I made a Safeway juice cider and followed your instructions.. tastes great (like Spire) and worked out well! ~Thanks! If I siphon onto sorbate do I really need to add more campden?

I don't know if I screwed up something in the process or not, but after back sweetening and kegging it, it's horrible. The smell is rank and it tastes like the smell with a hint of the frozen concentrate. I won't drop that kind of coin on juice again. Currently I have 5 gallons of undrinkable...

So this is kegged and after waiting ... oh, 4 days we couldn't wait and tasted it (about 9 pints of it). This is VERY close! The color and unfiltered look is perfect. There are no overpowering flavors and the mouth feel is right on. The wheat smell is a tiny bit lacking so I would add a bit...

My friends and I like a glass of it after dinner and we have quite a few dinner parties. Couple that with the fact that I was only able to get 2 sixers before it was pulled off the shelf... and I am ready to have a keg of it. I look forward to rwfishbu's tastings!

They arrived! I've a bit of a long week and I am tired, but I will give more details and pics of the kegs as promised! One of the kegs was very nice so I decided to see how nice it could be... I think it looks good...:D
