Brewing With Total Confidence
Separate names with a comma.
Yeah I will have to tweak this one. Crystal 40 was added, but I may need to consider some darker malts next go round. The glass is part of a...
[ATTACH] It is kegged but still a little flat. Definitely not a ruby color. Tastes alright, maybe more IPAish than Amber ale.
Slow year for me. 6 brews - 30ish gallons.
Contemplating my next "big" purchase, a stainless fermentor. Running through the pros and cons of conical or not, pressure rated or not, etc. I am...
I thought that was ridiculously low as well, as I tend to keep my regulator set about 9-11 psi. But then I realized that is shooting for 2.2-2.4...
I have not done this yet, but I assume that some local breweries may already have the water tested on a regular basis. If your friendly enough...
I toasted the coconut flakes in a brown ale I made and put them in the boil for the last 15 minutes. It was 6.5 oz unsweetened and 6 oz sweetened...
Bumped temp on Maroon & Gold to 70 F and dry hopped it with 1/2oz of Amarillo.

Nothing to strenuous. ;) Bumped the temp controller up to 68.5 F on the Amber ale. Will dry hop and increase temp to 70 F on Wednesday.
1. No. As long as you do not have a leak somewhere. 2. Yes.
Plastic BMB with the spigot that I got from Northern Brewer. Works great for dry hop additions and transfers. My only complaint is the lid. It is...
Finally brewed this up. Missed my numbers by a ton. SG 1.045 & only 4.5 gallons ended up in the fermenter, resulting in only hitting 50%...
That is what I thinking to do as well.
Transferred Marzen to Secondary. Clear so far, we shall see if it picks up a chill haze during lagering.
Sounds good
Putting recent order away & updating inventory on BF.
I think I will give this one a go as well. I'll have to place another order with NB, so it will likely be Thanksgiving weekend or the weekend...
Serving Cocoloco. Pretty good. I'm thinking of some tweaks for round 2. Probably only 1 oz Roasted barley or none, I think the toasted coconut...
