I've never tried it, but I can assume it dries out the stout pretty good. If I were doing this, I'd probably pitch when primary fermentation is winding down or right before bottling. If you used it at bottling, you won't have much flavor from the champagne yeast overpowering your beer. Then again, I...

I would imagine this came out fairly dry without the lager yeast? Apple juice usually ferments out pretty well, not leaving a whole lot of flavor behind, but enough to taste. I make an apple wine from another forum that is just apple juice with sugar and montrochet yeast. It ferments out very dry, b...

If you're naturally carbonating, you'll still need to seal the keg. Priming sugar won't cut it. As far as pushing the beer out... you could probably get by with one of those CO2 injectors that use the 12gram (approx.) cartridges. They won't carbonate it, but a few of them will push already carbed be...

I doubt they're lying about the IBU's. I brewed an amber awhile back that calculated out to 27IBU's but tasted more like an IPA. My opinion on this matter is that hopheads and the huge sale increase in IIPA's is causing brewers to cater to the masses. People want more hops, so they're overhopping ju...

Who has 4 or 5 days to wait? I used to rack into 1/4 barrels and cranked the CO2 to 30psi for 1-1/2 days and you're good to go. By the time the beer gets cold, you're ready to drink. If you throw a little sugar in your keg at rack off and let it sit for a while at fermenting temp you won't need lon...

Anything you add in the last 30 minutes of the boil will effect the taste and aroma. More so the further you get into the boil. Hops added at 60 minutes are strictly bittering hops. Your hop profile will all depend on the style beers you're making and your personal preferences. For me, when making a...

Sorry about the late response...I don't visit the board very often as I've been fairly busy. I'll see if I can find the link again. Anyhow... brewmeisterintng is correct. The problem with force carbing a beer at 30psi is that you can sometimes overshoot your carbonation. Then you have to release pre...

Changing efficiency on pre-existing recipes.
I found a clone recipe for Founder's Breakfast Stout that I'm excited about brewing. The problem is... the recipe lists it's efficiency at 64.8%. I get around 72-75% on my system, so if I brew with the same amount of ingredients, I'll have a beer that's around 1.100 compared to 1.086. I thought I ha...
