Im a great brewer... try my seasonals...
We brewed our brown ale yesterday in the downpour. Pitched the Mangrove on 1.052 wort. Looking forward to seeing how quickly that finishes...Im selling a really nice cooler mash tun and a huge stainless fermentation vessel. Check the classifieds...
Happy holiday! I spent the morning flipping kegs on my bar system at home to be ready for crazy rowdy party tonight.
Also, I brewed a 1.072 OG DIPA last monday and this morning Mangrove Jack West Coast had taken it down to 1.006 in 5 days. I was blown away. I've never gotten attenuation like that out of 1056 or US-05. The beer is super clean. Crazy hop profile. I used 12oz of hops in the boil and I'm gonna use another 4oz cascade to dry hop in the keg for an even 1lb of hops in the 5 gallon batch. I've found that's the magic number for a big IPA.
Happy brewing!
Anyone going to the MLBA meeting tomorrow?

Is the.Montco store the one getting all the nifty LED site lighting?
Hey guys, I'm doing a big RIS for the first time and had a question about adding oak. Didn't get any hits in the fermentation forum, so would you mind taking a quick read?

Thanks!

1.5 oz Medium toasted American oak chips
2 Madagascar whole vanilla beans, split and cut up
4oz 12 year old Jameson
Already have this combo marinating in a mason jar in the fridge. Not sure when I want to add it. I wanted to bulk age in secondary, but I worry about either having the oak in too long or oxidizing the beer by adding the oak to the secondary down the road.
I've been using Jack Daniels oak chips and haven't noticed a drastic oak effect from two weeks in secondary after soaking in bourbon for a bit. Maybe I just need to up the amounts I'm using, but the cubes may be a much better option.
Oops, I accidently drop 4 hours out of my way to buy a kegerator with 3 cornies for a GREAT deal today. Got it from the For Sale forum. $175 got me a fridge, 2 taps system, 3 cornies, spare parts, cleaner, and more!

I put up this shelving the other day without asking my wife...
Luckily she loves it. I was getting tired of having bottles stashed all over the place.
