Thanks, I'll try the Alpha Amylase Enzyme. I pitched it at 68, but I use a swamp cooler method and was able to keep it at 65 degrees for the first 5 days. Then stopped adding ice bottles so it went to 68. When it didn't look like it was going to reach FG, I put in the aquarium heater and...

So should I bottle it as is?

Ok so first off, my mash temp got a little high, around 165. I had wrapped my kettle in reflective foil and then stick it in the oven. The oven was off but I had warmed it to first. strike water was right and initially temp was at 153, but then started to rise while in the oven. Stirred it at 30...

I had it done on the 17th, just in time for the tourney games. Dr. gave me 1 Xanax to take before coming in, so I was nice and calm for the procedure. Did the frozen peas for 2 days and only took one of the pain pills, didn't want to not drink during the games. Overall it wasn't too bad.

Here's the recipe I used, turned out awesome and real close to Smithwicks. Mash Type: Pure BIAB (Full-Volume Mash): 1 for 90 mins at 67 C = 152.6 F 89.3% Pale Malt 2 Row UK (15 EBC = 7.6 SRM) 2370 grams = 5.23 pounds 6.7% Crystal Malt 120L (20 EBC = 10.2 SRM) 178 grams = 0.39 pounds 1.3%...

It looks like love2brew still has some for sale. http://www.love2brew.com/Better-Bottle-3-Gal-w-Drilled-Hole-Ported-p/bb001p.htm

Thank you! I didn't know World Market sells it, Im headed down there tonight. I bought it off amazon as well. I made the OSH clone, but I don't think I put enough Lyle's in it, it wasn't nearly as sweet as the original.

Thanks for the replies. I was worried that mixing would produce off flavors. I like doing small batches of different styles, I'd rather have a bunch of different styles than 55 bottles of one style. Once I find that recipe that I really like, I'll probably do a bigger batch.

I have a couple 1 gallon glass carboys that I have been fermenting in, I'm doing 2 gallon batches. Would it cause any problems to mix in the bottling bucket when I'm ready to bottle? I've been doing them separate, adding vanilla to 1 gallon, but my next one I don't have any additions planned...

I've used it a couple times, but it's easier to just use the search. My questions have probably already been answered many times in different threads, just have to search for them. Oh, and when I'm logged in the search is too convoluted. If I log out and search, it gives better results.

Grandstands should be able to help you. http://www.egrandstand.com/.

Sorry, that link was for all three, I have the 100w heater.

I have almost the same setup, 60qt Igloo Cube with this aquarium heater The only difference is I brew small batches. I do 2 gallons and ferment in 1 gallon carboys. I ferment in the basement as well and the aquarium heater works great to maintain the temp. I use a blow off tube so I'm able to...

The recipe I used was from the www.biabrewer.info site and scaled it for a 2.5 batch: O.G. 1.053 IBU 39.2 F.G. was 1.013 I mashed at 147. MO 4.64 lbs Dark Crystal .56 lbs Lyle's Golden Syrup .46 lbs added 5 min before boil ends. I ordered this off amazon but I think you can...

My last brew (first all grain) was an Old Speckled Hen clone, tried it last night and was soooo good. For next year I'm doing a dark mild, vanilla stout, Smithwicks clone, and the wife has asked for an IPA. That should take me to March.

Well General Grevious could use a saber so I don't think just Sith and Jedi could use them. I definitely think that Rey is Luke's Daughter. The old bug eyed lady in the bar said as much, "the is light saber was Luke's and his fathers before him and now it calls out to you." It will turn out to...

I really agree with the machete order of 45236. He lays out a well thought out argument for this order. And I "almost" agree with Genghis, I think 3 is a good movie and will stand up with the originals, but I can't bring myself to say it's better than 6. Ewan McGregor nails the role of Obi Wan in 3.

I'll take one.

The OG was 1.06 so I'll just let this one still for the 4 weeks at 70 degrees. Thanks for the help.

Ok, so leave at room temp for 2-3 weeks to condition and THEN stick in a cooler area for 3-4 months?
