Thanks Denny!  What temp do you ferment at with that yeast?  How long?

Kegging and Bottling / Re: coopers carbonations drops
« on: February 18, 2010, 07:09:15 PM »
I've had good results using them.  If anything I've had slight problems with over-carbonation a couple of times.  One drop is supposed to carbonate a 375ml bottle of beer.  I think that is a slightly different volume than 12 oz., which might be the problem.

Single biggest improvement to the quality of my beers (fermentation temp control).

I've made Tasty McDole's Dortmunder and it was freakin' awesome.  We just kicked it this past weekend and my wife is already bugging me to do another batch.  Will probably do a 10 gallon batch this time.  Don't have the recipe at the moment, but will find it later if you want it.

All Grain Brewing / Re: Water Report
« on: January 31, 2010, 03:43:35 PM »
Yes Denny.  I use the water supply outside my house (same one I use to water plants, wash the car, etc.) run through a carbon filter that came with my B3-1500 from MoreBeer.  Now I assume that that water is the same as the water that comes out of our kitchen sink, but who knows (about the pipes, etc.)?  I'm not sure about how particular they are about the sample that you send into them.

Question...  I ordered the kit suggested.  Since I use my outside faucet and I use a carbon filter, should I run the test water to be submitted through the carbon filter outside like when I brew?  Or can I just use my inside water?

Ingredients / Re: Shelf life of adjuncts
« on: January 18, 2010, 02:47:53 PM »
I used it.  It smelled like semi-sweet corn.  Nothing bad about it.  I tasted a piece and it seemed fine, not bad tasting at all.  It was vacuum packed and sealed.

Ingredients / Shelf life of adjuncts
« on: January 17, 2010, 03:32:56 PM »
Hey all.  Does anyone know what the shelf life is on flaked adjuncts, particularly flaked corn?  I am brewing a cream ale tomorrow and have some flaked corn that is probably around 2 years old.  It is in an unopened package from LD Carlson.

I think it came out of Drew's book?  I'll have to check to make sure though.

The Brutal Bitter call(s/ed) for them.  I just brewed the clone recipe and used them for bittering.  Then LOTS of crystal everywhere else.

Wood/Casks / Re: Anybody purchased from this guy?
« on: January 07, 2010, 07:49:02 PM »
I received mine today in the mail finally.  It is smaller than I thought it would be...  Looks good though.  One difference with mine I see from the others I've seen around is that mine seems to be lacquered/varnished on the outside.  The one in the post above looks to me to be bare wood?  Should there be a finish applied like there is on mine?  Does it matter either way?
