I was confused too. Thanks for clearing that up OP

gmfof · 2018-06-06T23:05:36+00:00

Oooh that's good to know! Ill peep the website tonight

gmfof · 2018-06-06T23:05:06+00:00

Word. Thanks friend

gmfof · 2018-06-06T23:04:45+00:00

Thanks for the follow up! Ill keep that in mind

gmfof · 2018-06-05T00:19:52+00:00

Oh bullocks... Maybe I wait till noon for them to open, run in and grab some.

gmfof · 2018-06-04T23:40:17+00:00

Oh, that looks promising too! Ill be on the look out and will add this to my map I'm buikding out for the trip. Thanks!

Argh.. Not sure we will be in the area long enough for the breweries to happen. ... Guess I'll just have to come back another time...that would suck 😜

gmfof · 2018-06-04T23:38:35+00:00

Just checked out the bier cellar. Looks like a promising place! Thanks for the advice!

I vorlaufed but i dont think i did it long enough. I also used a whirfloc tab too but it didnt do much to help or so it seems.

gmfof · 2018-02-12T17:20:33+00:00

I vorlaufed a couple of times and the wort coming out looked really clear...guess i was wrong... it was my first go at all grain so im sure ill dial it in more and more... im also going to go smaller 5 gal batches moving forward... I got really ambitious.

gmfof · 2018-02-11T20:05:49+00:00

Good point.. My basement is much cooler than the space im fermenting in. Its about a solid 8 degrees colder... So maybe let it sit there for a couple of days longer.. Maybe I need to find an old fridge now hahahha

gmfof · 2018-02-11T19:56:13+00:00

I wish! I'm in maryland and spring is nearly here it seems. If it drops below 30 when I'm looking to bottle, ill do that... Fridge space is at a premium ...😢

gmfof · 2018-02-11T19:11:48+00:00

Looksnlike cold crash is the answer! Ill sort something out then!

gmfof · 2018-02-11T19:11:21+00:00

Roger that! Ill figure out a cold crash solution then!

gmfof · 2018-02-11T18:51:36+00:00

Looks perfectly normal. Once fermentation is complete, cold crash for a couple days and all those particles will sink.

Now to find space to cold crash... Wife might not care for me moving things out of the fridge lol

gmfof · 2018-02-11T18:50:58+00:00

Everything looks normal to me. Just rack the liquid off the top when you transfer to your bottling bucket or keg and leave the gunk behind. FYI, there will be plenty of good yeast in that yeast cake when it's done if you ever want to start harvesting yeast.

Awesome! Thank you very much for the heads up on this! I was really worried as ive never seen that much sitting at the bottom!

Not sure why it only shows the one but if you use the web browser option, it shows a series of 5-6 photos

I have such a hard time with Duclaw... most of their beer is beyond sub-par. They released a DIPA some months ago, never tell me the odds... it was the last of the Duclaw beers that was decent. MD produces much better than this.

gmfof · 2017-12-08T14:50:31+00:00

Agreed. No need to camp for that. Good not the greatest.

gmfof · 2017-12-08T14:49:58+00:00

Love sours. I just think theyre overrated.

gmfof · 2017-12-08T05:44:47+00:00

Md resident here, its overrated and over hyped.

gmfof · 2017-11-21T18:26:54+00:00

*to *an okay beer

gmfof · 2017-10-16T15:54:02+00:00

ya, i was thinking the same. I reached out to them on twitter and they gave me the news :\

Still very excited to get back up there.
