I was also going to say pils. I still think the red-x beer will benefit from a higher IBU. I've done a few Red-x beers now. SMIPA - turned out pretty good, would do again. IPA with red-x and a little rye, had a great color and pretty drinkable. red-x, high rye, bavarian lager yeast, lower...

Yup. I have this recipe I got from my first home-brew supply shop for a blackberry wheat. It would routinely clog the airlock, and blow the lid off the 6.5g fermenter. I thought I would try to outthink the yeast, so I put a couple bricks on top of the lid. That just blew the lid and the...

I guess you've been fooled too :cool: Like any other tool, you can become proficient and use it with skill, or you be the one saying 'hold my beer' and make it to youtube infamy.

IDK how much experience you have with the various AI clients, but I interface with them daily or almost daily in my job. If they're designed to fool us, they've done a great job of fooling me and about 25,000 cow-orkers, about 1/3 of whom also use an AI agent regularly to multiple times / day...

you're at ~12% corn, my KY Common has almost 17% and you can definitely tell there's corn in it. I've seen/had other KYC with 3# in a 5-ish gallon batch and they tasted similar, but I was a bit nervous about that much corn in the mash bill. For ref., my 16.8% is 2# of corn in a 6.25 gallon...

in '07 I made my wife a deal; We can take a vacation to Europe, you pick the destination, I pick the transportation. It was an easy sale. I grabbed a motorcycle just outside Dublin for a few days. Did it again the next year and then again in summer of '08, Germany, Switzerland and some Italy...

I've never used it for a clone, but I have used it to backstop my recipe 'building' and I've found it pretty helpful.

Welcome aboard!

ZOINKS! The answer is, possibly. What temp were you fermenting at? I've been able to get lagers to finish at 15 psi for the entire length of fermentation ( and that was too much. Also a Vienna lager ). Pressure does inhibit -I suppose would be the best descriptor, normal fermentation speed...

I agree with the previous posters and this one hits home. I did a Czech style amber lager recently and I did not like it fresh out of the kettle. As in, I went back 2 straight days to be sure because I was going to dump it. I have never had a flavor turnaround like this, but it's lagered...

Jeremy Clarkson was right about one thing. The Toyota prius has no redeeming qualities. :D

yup, that's what I was thinking. Liquid yeast doesn't last as long and I think is a bit less robust in shipping, etc. Even if the best by date was still a few months off, you never know if that yeast got stuck over a weekend in a UPS truck during a heat wave. You've got it moving, but like...

Must be you. The French were great to the Mrs. & me, albeit we were only in Paris.

All in one, BIAB, with a full sparge.

I was enticed by Black Friday sales and the periodic ones I get by email. I got 55# bags of Pils, Vienna, Munich, rye and 2 row. Then there would be a spontaneous sale... Y'all know how it goes. Last inventory I took I had over 400# of various malts. That should be around 390-ish now and...
