Correct, one week and one day since brew day. I know I don't have a stalled fermentation as the progression in the last week from 1.090 to 1.021 is amazing, I just read that yeast is known for stalling. I was just curious if I tossed in a bit more sugar if I'd get a bit more "oomph". As...

I brewed a BDS with Wyeast 1388 and blew my OG by 30 points (argh) - - I added 2 pounds of D-180 Candi Syrup at flameout, but the target OG was 1.119 and I pulled a 1.090. o_O Efficiency issues aside, I had purchased an additional D-90 that I was going to add at high krausen to up the ABV a...

5 lbs Wheat Malt 4 lbs Plisner 1 lb Munich .5 Oz Hallertau @60 .5 Oz Saaz @20 .5 Oz Hallertau @2 2 oz Orange Zest @2 German Wheat (Wyeast 3333) 1.050 OG for 5 Gallons 49 Oz Blood Orange Puree in Secondary for a week.

Yep, 5 gallon batch. I used the 49oz can of blood orange puree last summer and it was awesome. I'll see what I will do with a mix and match of the two flavors. Cheers!

I brewed an amazing blood orange wheat last summer and was thinking of a tweaking it this year by adding cranberry to the blood orange. Cranberry and orange are fairly classic and I think this would be an equally good brew. I used a can of Vintner's Harvest blood orange puree (49 oz) in...

:crickets: :P Ok, so, I took a fairly straightforward IPA recipe and melded it with my thoughts for honey and honey malt with the ginger... Any thoughts here? 11.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 75.9 % 1.75 lb Munich 10L (Briess) (10.0 SRM) Grain 2 12.1 % 0.75 lb Honey Malt...

I'm looking to brew my first all grain IPA (very casual IPA fan to be honest - I've always preferred more malty affairs). Anyhoo, I'm feeling drawn to honey ginger combination, but, I can't find anything I like online. I'd like to use both real honey and honey malt, but don't want a crazy...

This looks really good - what are your thoughts on using (and when?) this Graham Cracker Extract as well?

Copy, but did you or did you not add a syrup of some sort (I think that's where my confusion lies...?)

Like, THIS kind of extract?

The legwork on this beer has been amazing! Well done to all! Is the *final* version of your recipe what's on the prior pages? Or did you tweak it slightly with the nestle syrup (that is what you used, correct?). Do you mind reposting the final version, please (assuming it changed)? :)

My local brewpub has an AMAZING Belgian Dark Strong Ale, and I was curious about mocking up a recipe - Any suggestions? Per their site: Body: Full Color: Coppery Brown Grain: British Pale, Belgian Special B, German toasted Abbey, American Flaked Wheat Bittering Hops: Northern Brewer...

I've always wanted to brew an Oktoberfest, but, I don't have a lagering set up (yet!). Whelp, I bottled my Ale version Wednesday and it tasted great. Anyway, just super excited and waiting for bottle conditioning. :) Recipe: 6 lb Munich 5 lb Pilsner 1 lb Vienna 1 lb Caramunich II 1 lb...

One last question (I hope!). In the videos I'm seeing, they are initially wiring the STC unit with about six inches of multi-colored "pig tail" electrical wiring. I've done a few searches on Home Depot and online, but, don't really see where I can buy small quantities of such wiring -...

Yep! I've watched a few builds on YouTube - I've never tried to wire anything more complicated than a home outlet, so, I think I'm comfortable trying it out. I hope! :D That was something I was curious about as well. I live in Ohio, so, my basement is in the 60s now. With the...

AH! Ok. I work in IT, so, when I hear "programming" I immediately think of software... ;)

So, I had the process down at least, awesome! Can you elaborate more on the "programming" portion, though? Are you talking wiring?

I'm finally looking to convert my chest freezer into a fermentation chamber, but, have hit analysis paralysis with all the info available. Although I'm not very "handy," it looks like the STC 1000 is relatively easy build to do, but, I'm confused on a few items and was looking for some help...

Ah, yes, I probably should've specified that I'm a bit of a malt fiend. I could always split the difference and add some pilsner malt to balance things out a bit, too. But I do like me some malt. ;) Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Thanks for the advice, everyone! I think I'm over thinking things with my initial ratios... SO, what if I super simplified and went with something like this? 8.00 lb Vienna Malt 2.00 lb Munich Malt .5 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt .5 lb Caramunich II And maybe added another hop (Tettnang?) at 30...
