Yeast and Fermentation / Re: British Yeast Recommendation

WLP 005 is the fruitiest English strain I have used. Five days in you need to rouse this yeast. Good luck!

General Homebrew Discussion / Re: Scoresheet comment... Inappropriate?
« on: May 02, 2013, 07:00:23 AM »
Judges do not score IPA's well that are not expreme. If your near the bottom of IBU's and did not dry hop with 6 oz It cant be an IPA right?

I think this is a solid APA. I bought a six and enjoyed them all. I will not go out of my way to buy this beer but if I see it on tap I'm in.

There would be nothing wrong with using 100% Munich for your Ale.

Excellent article! Thanks for posting. I found it interesting that he recomended to take your hops out of cold storage 24 hours before using them for dry hoping.

I agree that 7000 dollars does not sound right,but just because the owner has no brewing expierence does not mean he will fail. One employee could be an expierienced brewer. Keeping your overhead down and starting small will probably lead to his success.

Kegging and Bottling / Re: beer line formula???
« on: April 12, 2013, 08:22:54 AM »
When this happens to me I take the in line off the keg and pour from the keg pressure. When you need the presure turn your line to 5psi. Your keg will balance out in a few days. Venting is also good.

I feel your pain. In two buckets I tried 24 hour iodine soak then boiling water and more iodine. After dumping 10 gallons of ale I got rid of all plastic in my brewery and bought new. No more infections.

I am for option two. A week of dry hopping in primary then Keg. I only use Irish moss and my beer is clear. (Enough for me anyway!)

All Grain Brewing / Re: Mash-in
« on: March 20, 2013, 07:39:06 AM »
I let my strike water run freely. When water gets one inch above my false bottom I scoop six cups of grain in and stir till saturated. I do this till just short of having all my water. I can then take a temperature reading and determine if I need to add cold water or let the strike water run some more.

All Grain Brewing / Re: Mash Tun: Temperature Uniformity
« on: March 08, 2013, 08:19:09 AM »
I stir well in the begining then every 15-20 minutes. I use a round "yellow" cooler and take my temps at the top. I loose 1-2 degrees depending how long I mash.
