Events / Re: NHC 2013 Hotel?
« on: February 19, 2013, 05:43:51 am »
Thanks for all the replies.  Unfortunately, I was using an Amtrak app, and it had a bug.  It was only giving me the price one way...  The return trip is well over $100.  We will be driving instead.

On another note, some of us are thinking about taking Amtrak from Lynchburg, Va into Philly. Appears to be only $55 round trip. My question is for people in Philly, which stop should we get off on in Philly? One is called "North Philadelphia" and the other is "30th Street". Which one is closer to the hotel? How far away is it, would we ned a cab? Thanks.

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: Stone Cali-Belgique OR Belgian IPA Yeast Selection

Not sure about Stone, but Raging b**** uses WLP-400 Belgian Wit yeast.  As far as the grain goes, perhaps pale ale malt, which is a bit darker than just pale malt?

Pitched a rehydrated pack of nottingham.  Will wait a couple of days and see what/if anything happens.  If not, I'll take a reading.  Maybe it is just done.  Smells darn good!

I did stir earlier this week, but didn't seem to help.  If I do add more yeast, could I just sprinkle some dry yeast, let sit for a couple of minutes, then stir it in?  Or does the yeasthave to be active?

Yeast and Fermentation / Secondary Fermentation on Cherry Puree
« on: October 13, 2012, 07:19:39 am »
Hey all.  I brewed Jamil's Black Forest Stout for a holiday beer.  OG was 1.071.  Primary went well.  I put two cans of cherry puree from Northern Brewer into a secondary fermenter and racked the stout on top, gravity was down 1.019.  I don't brew with fruit, but was expecting a vigorous refermentation to kick off.  Quite the opposite has occurred.  The cherry puree just seems to be sitting on the bottom of the fermenter and there are few signs of anything going on.  No CO2 action that I can see (i have a blowoff tube in some starsan), and no swirling as in primary.  There was a tiny thin layer of foam/krausen? on the top for a few days, but nothing spectacular by any means.  It's been about 10 days.  I haven't taken a gravity reading, but the later of fruit just siting on the bottom really bothers me.  Any advice?

Beer Recipes / Re: Stout with Interesting Yeast
« on: August 10, 2012, 06:30:45 am »
I made a belgian style stout in the early spring and it came out very good.  I used an export stout recipe with Wyeast special strain "Belgian Stout" yeast.  Scored a 45 in a competition I entered.

Yeast and Fermentation / Re: What are you paying for your yeast?
« on: August 08, 2012, 06:02:30 am »
We pay $8.99 with our LHBS for White Labs...  Not always handled well either.  I make a starter every time though.

I'm reading his (Jeff Shaara) newest one right now, "A Blaze of Glory:  A Novel of the Battle of Shiloh".  I've read all of his books, love em all!
