I've got a Cherry Lambic in a secondary fermenter right now. Serving an Agave ESB from the keg. And, just bottled a 1-gallon test batch of an Agave Lambic.
I have a Chocolate Cherry Milk Stout in primary right now. In my secondary I have a Rausch beer where I smoked the grains myself after a nice brisket was done for the day. I have some Angry Pumpkin Ale (7.7%), Merry Christmas To All (6.5%) and a Vanilla Beach Cream Ale (4.5%) all in bottles.
Dusseldorf style Altbier in the fermenter going on 1 week. My mash efficiency has been hitting the 83% mark consistently. Must be getting something right!
So... I did my best at cloning the Olde School Barleywine! It tastes pretty darn close! When I transfered it to the secondary fermenter it was at 13%! I transferred it on to fresh figs and dried dates and the fermentation went crazy for a few more days! It's in the bottles conditioning now... I'm hoping these bad boys will carbonate... I will be very disappointed if they don't!
But I have to tell you... I drank about 4-5oz when I was bottling.. .WOW! It tasted great and packed a wollop!
Nothing yet but putting together the new system and want to revive my double IPA. Last year I launched 4 brews in South Africa that are doing well in exposing a very new market to craft beer.
I currently have a 90 minute IPA clone I worked up, called 120-90 (because I boil for 120, but add hops at the 90 minute schedule, I like long boils), and an Amber I have brewed several times and change almost everytime a little bit until I get it where I want it.
I am about to brew a Belgian Dark IPA. I currently have a Saison bottled, a pumpkin, a double brown, and then a mystery brew I made after sampling way too many other beers. I took no notes, have no idea what is in it except what I can taste, but it turned out pretty damn good!
i got a mr.beer kit for christmas but i got beer fermenting so i'm not to disapointed lol.
fermenting is Grand Bohemian Czech pils. i'll let you know how it turns out hopefully good i dont really see how a mr. beer kit could get messed up lol.
Well down here in Central VA we don't really have and dogfish. We do, however have an abundance of catfish! So with a nod to one of my all-time favorite elicsers, I'm working today on my first Dogfish Head 90 Minute clone. I just hope it's 1/2 as good as the real thing!
Got a excellent Berliner Weisse in secondary with lacto and fresh peaches, Also a big stout on brett secondary (been there about 3 months). Chad: is the agave a puree or fresh?
I've got a cream ale just started in the primary fermenter. It's my first home brew so here's hoping I don't totally screw up. Can anyone tell me why the secondary fermenter is necessary. The only thing I could find seems to imply it is to mute the flavor of the ingredients somewhat and keep sediment from the mash out of the final product.
