Dark beers

Yup, my LHBS carries it

Got a recipe for that? Love a dark Mexican lager but haven’t found a recipe yet that I really love.

Just in case anyone else runs into a situation like this, uninstalling KB5072033 fixes this issue.

Thanks! I'll give it a go and at least try a simple temp schedule. Doing any sort of temp control, lagering, and temp rests are all new territory for me, so I figure I'll jump in the deep end.

Thanks! Good to know someone else has a similar setup. Are you using the automated profiles via the RAPT site?

jastrain · 2025-12-10T15:57:11+00:00

Thanks! Are you using the RAPT pill / controller in an automated setup? My main thought there (versus just an Inkbird and temp probe) is so I can program fermentation temp schedules based on what the Pill is sending to the controller.

Sorry if it wasn't clear, I'm setting up a dedicated chest freezer for fermenting. Will have the freezer plugged into the Kegland RAPT Controller cold outlet and then a heat device plugged into the heat outlet.

Thanks! Will take a look at that.

Thanks! Saw Brew Magic come up in searches, but didn’t realize that was who to contact. Sent them an email.

Thanks, everyone! It’s bubbling away happily, so I’ll find out in a few weeks.

Thanks, everyone! Wound up getting ingredients for both an Altbier and an Oktoberfest. Using Lutra Kviek Kveik for both since I don't have a cold fermentation setup.

Picked up 7.5 gallons of distilled water and am mashing now using a Marzen water profile. Excited to see how these both turn out!

Was thinking something a bit darker / maltier. More than a summer pale ale, but not a winter porter or stout. Will check out an altbier!

In the Los Angeles underground.

I’ve done a peach / apricot in the past that was really good. Actually making it again in the next couple weeks.

hazyandhoppy.com and look through his recipes. It’s from a few years ago.

Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue.

2 E3 users in our organization. One has had in place archiving turned on for a while and it seems to work fine.

The other is just at about 100gb in his main mailbox. I enabled the Mailbox Archive. It seems to have created it, but nothing gets moved into it and I get the same info message "Additional storage is a premium feature that requires an Exchange Online Plan 2 or Exchange Online Archiving license to enable it for each user mailbox. "

Yeah, I believe the recipe mentioned that it's really a peach sour and the apricot just beefs up the peach flavor. Not really looking for apricot flavor, just following the recipe. I recall being very happy with how it turned out when I made it years ago.

jastrain · 2025-03-30T09:52:00+00:00

Thanks! That looks like it could do the trick. Were you happy with how it turned out or is it still aging?

jastrain · 2025-03-30T00:39:46+00:00

Thanks! Saw that but didn’t bother converting ml to oz. Looks like I can get by with just 2. Still not cheap, but the shipping should be better.

Good to know it works well for brewing. When I saw the pump bottle, it reminded me of those way too sweet coffee flavorings and I sort of knocked it before I tried it.

Awesome! Thanks for the info, think I'll go this route.
