    Blueberry In ale?? Anyone have experience?

    I made a cherry ale back in November using 2.25# of dark cherries and adding in the primary at peak ferm. The recipe was a hit. It was super smooth and the cherry wasn’t super noticeable but it was obvious there was a Fruit in there. Ever since I made it I’ve had multiple people who drank it at...

    American Wheat Partial Mash

    Update: Batch is kegged carbed and I’ve been drinking it for a few days. Things I noticed. Cherry is very subtle. You get a hint of fruit at the end. It blends well with cascade. Body is medium and it actually drinks comparable to a lager. It was a hit at the party I hosted for Christmas. Very...

    Reccomendations for keg carbonation

    I did not. I didn’t grab any. I checked this morning. It’s been 36 hours and I lost maybe .75 psi total. Tonight’s kegging night so I’m not sure I will have time to make the 30 min trip to the homebrew store to keg lube. Hopefully it’s just the lid not seated correctly. I’ll monitor it over the...

    Reccomendations for keg carbonation

    Guys looking for some help here. Filled the co2 up and Filled the keg up to 7psi. There was nothing in it other than maybe a tiny bit of leftover keg cleaner. Anyways after hitting 7psi I shut the valve and let it sit. This morning it was about .5 psi lower. I mixed some soapy water and put it...

    American Wheat Partial Mash

    Yeah, my first beer I made I was anxious and rushed it and it still turned out good. After that I made a pretty complex porter and let it sit in primary for 3 weeks and pulled samples each week to see the difference and I was blown away by the changes. 3 weeks in the primary seems to be the...

    American Wheat Partial Mash

    Update: I let the beer sit over the cake and the cherries. It’s been 13 days since I added the cherries and wow has this beer changed a lot. I drew a sample and confirmed a 5.5% ABV. I tasted the sample (I waste no beer) and wow, the harsh bitterness I originally tasted has diminished. The...

    Brewer’s Best Natural Extract Flavoring

    I may have chosen bad flavors as some have had good luck with other flavors. I’ll keep trying other flavors and see what happens.

    Reccomendations for keg carbonation

    Awesome thank you! Appreciate all the help and insight. Any insight on carbonating the beer once I get the corny all squared away?

    Reccomendations for keg carbonation

    Thank you for the tip. So I got a new seal kit. Came with everything I need but the one inner seal on the co2 tube. I figured since it sealed I wouldn’t change them but what you said makes sense so i guess id rather be safe than sorry.

    Reccomendations for keg carbonation

    Good to know. I have the entire thing full of dawn and hot tap water. It had root beer in it. Could tell by the smell. I’m beyond excited to use the kegerator.

    Reccomendations for keg carbonation

    Soaking now in some hot water and soap I’ll empty it out and then fill it with keg cleaner and soak it for 24hrs, then hook up co2 and push it through the lines and then rinsr with water followed by starsan. Can never be too clean I feel.

    Reccomendations for keg carbonation

    I have a dual body reg with a triple tower tap. I had a single reg with a single tap but got a great deal on a used multi tap set up. Have all the hoses and connections

    Reccomendations for keg carbonation

    so I just picked up my first 5 gallon corny keg tonight used from a local store for $50. Seals are good and seems to hold pressure. I’ve heard various methods of carbonating but not sure what’s best. As of now I have just 1 5 gallon keg. 5 gallon co2 tank and kegerator. Any tips or reccomendations?

    Brewer’s Best Natural Extract Flavoring

    3 out of 4 tasters of the porter tasted the artificial fake caramel flavoring I did. 3 out of 3 tasted the artificial cherry flavor and 1 of 3 said they enjoyed the artificial flavoring more than the regular version.

    Brewer’s Best Natural Extract Flavoring

    I agree with that. I split my porter batch In half and the original was absolutely delicious. Same thing with this cherry beer. I brewed with cherries and didn’t add flavor to the whole batch yet and it’s pretty damn good so I’ll keep it without the flavoring.

    Brewer’s Best Natural Extract Flavoring

    Actually I used less than 2ozs in my 5 gallon batch of porter. I used 2ml for 16oz as a taster in my wheat. It’s less than recommended and still tastes fake

    Brewer’s Best Natural Extract Flavoring

    I’ve now brewed 4 beers total, an APA, Porter, American wheat, and SMaSH. In the porter I split the batch into two and used brewers best caramel and pecan natural extract flavoring. At the time of bottling it tasted decent. Figured it would mature. It’s now 2.5 weeks later and I cracked one open...

    Pecan Pie Porter

    Update: Monday is going to be the official 2 week carbonation, but I had family over so I cracked open a bottle of both the regular and caramel pecan flavored. The regular was delicious. Roasted flavor with nice smoothness. I tasted a hint of the molasses. I had one person tell me they tasted...
