So anyways..... I racked the Belgian Red with a dry hop addition yesterday. And it tastes great. Technically the dry hop should soak for up to two weeks but I am out of beer.
The new batch I cooked up is a Dunklewiezen made with 6lb. of dry extract 1lb. liquid extract and 1.5lb. of steeping grains with only 2oz. of hops. The powder went in a bit clumpy but smoothed out as the boil progressed.
Also when I force carbonated this time I used the lay the keg on its side and roll method. It worked much better than the standing straight up and shake.
Congrats on the brew and welcome to the addiction :rockin:
While this thread degraded into the whole cost of your time issue I am curious how you feel about it now. Is it still worth your time to brew or would it be better to buy beer?
