  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?

    Tried my hand at an experiment today and hoping to get some good results. I brewed a Ginger India Cream Ale. Late hopped with Amarillo/Citra and 2 tsp ground ginger powder @ 10min. We'll see how it turns out. I definitely didn't get any ginger on the nose from the boil which is disappointing...

    Quick home roll. Hard to see in the pic but I wrapped the first half in San Andreas and the 2nd half in CT broadleaf. Should be interesting.

    Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?

    I'm not totally sure how high it can take it but I do know it's attenuation is much lower than Chico or pacman. Even mashing pretty low this stuff floccs out around 1.020. I'll be using it in a RIS soonish, if I get to it before you try it out I'll let you know how it goes.

    Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?

    If you want a liquid yeast for a stout I highly recommend the Yorkshire strain. Im pretty sure White Labs and Wyeast both sell it. It was recommended to me and Ive been hooked on it since. Ive noticed its been used for a number of NHC Gold Medal winning recipes as well. I think it was Jamil that...

    I use about 10% flaked barley in my stout and mash @ 162. Great full silky body. Next batch Im going to start working with maltodextrin so I don't have to use as much base malt. I can just mash at 150 then use the maltodextrin to kick the FG back up to where I want it instead of having to use...

    Got any tips on ginger? Ive been wanting to brew a ginger IPA but can't seem to find any consistent info on amounts and when to add it. I don't want 5 gallons of an IPA thats more like ginger beer.
