But the problem is that you'd then have to use the local brewery's wort.


Under normal circumstances I'd say 'how bad can free wort be', but I've seen the grain bill for that amber they make. I'm not sure I'd waste my time on 5 gallons of that.

Yes. The wort will transferred straight out of the brew house after it is cooled by the CLT.

Its nothing against the people at TR, I like the all guys over there and wish them the best.

I have always disliked that amber and recommended they ditch the recipe and start from scratch. They like it... so they keep brewing it.

It's been great. Super busy, but very rewarding. It's an exciting time for our industry.

Wort Aeration ExBeeriment -Pure O2 Vs No O2 - In a barleywine

Found this pretty interesting...

I like that they took this to the extreme by testing in a high gravity beer that most people (including myself) would have recommended "make sure to use a ton of oxygen"

Completely agree. Thought it was very interesting and Extremely close to being statistically relevant.

He did one for the August meeting. I wasn't able to make September, and he wasn't at this past one for October.

Help! Just realized a Citra Pale recipe kit came with 4oz of Maltodextrin for the main boil. Can I boil it in 2 cups of water and add it to the carbor? Day 4 of initial fermentation.


I'd just let it go this time.

Good job B! Still have 1 left in my fridge.

Also, it wasn't answered earlier, but did anyone get their score sheets back from Robert's Cove Germanfest? Still haven't' gotten mine.

Yep. Some others here too.

Looks like BR scored 8 medals. Very nice.

Didn't hear anything about it this year beforehand.
Brewing tonight for a local comp in November.

Kegerator Kit - $60



quote:

This kegerator kit is all you need to turn an old refrigerator into your own kergerator. 5lb CO2 bottle is about half full and comes with gauge, special wrench, lines, tap and faucet. Similar set up would cost $115 a beveragefactory.com where I bought it from years ago.


ETA: If that tag is the last fill date, you would probably have to get it hydrotested before filling.

Going to try and brew on Wednesday after work. Going to try and speed up the process as much as I can. So here is what I am thinking for the Dark Saison with Citrus:

Mashing at 152 for 30 mins (assuming no starch is left)
Cold Sparging (while not technically speeding it up it will be easier)
Quick hybrid batch and fly sparge (not much different than normal)
30 mins boil (assuming the gravity works out)
Chill to 72 through a plate chiller with ice water

Clean up as I go or on Thursday.

Have I missed an opportunity to speed the process up any?
