@volcomsnowjake13 Well,I enjoy the hobby of making beer,however,I'm not interested in long and tedious procedures. The main reason I got into making homemade beer it due to the high prices of alcohol here in Canada.I want to continue with but I wish to simplify it as much as possible,That's why I picked the sanitizing dish & bottle tree.At this point I'm not interested in AG however I may try it out someday at least to say I did. Thanx a lot and I will chat with you soon Tisthesaison,Cheers!

and as far as dry hopping.. this wasnt anything close to dry hopping.. i hate to be a debbie downer but "dry hopping" is the act of adding hops (preferrably in a muslin/nylon sack a week into primary AFTER a transfer into the secondary) i have t imagine you will end up with a very hop hazy beer. dont get my wrong,

[jakeanddar]

@volcomsnowjake13 Thanks for the advice on the Dry hopping,I will try the muslin/nylon sacks in the next brew! Oh and I have tried the secondary before and found no difference in the flavor of the beer and clearing is done just as well in the bottles stored in a dark area for a few weeks. I'm sorry friend,but I have to agree with Craig F. on this issue. The secondary for the most part is just extra work that really isn't necessary. It's Ok though,each to his own is all right with me. Take Care!

[volcomsnowjake13]

A couple things... I understand all grain. and I understand extract brewing. but i don't understand festa brewing... step 1. pour into bucket. step 2. add yeast. boom. your done? wheres the fun?

[RevolutionaryBrewer]

Ohhh yea that gonna be a good beer. The pilsner is already pretty hoppy so with the extra dry hops it should turn out awesome. Cant wait to see the taste test

[jakeanddar]

@RevolutionaryBrewer I can't wait either,in the mean time I'm trying my best to keep the fermenting temperature down as much as possible,Thanx Cheers!

[thegentlearts]

Nice one Jake. When I dry hop I put them in a muslim bag as I don't like little gritty bits floating in my beer

[jakeanddar]

@thegentlearts Is there any way to prevents them from getting sucked up by the syphon I wonder?

[steve45ca]

I've dry hopped a couple of batches and thats it... drop it in and let it go.... i stirred mine a little bit but thats optional i think...... the sound of the yeast on the foam sounds like rice crispies =]

[jakeanddar]

@steve45ca LOL ya it surprised me a bit,trying my best now to keep the temperature down as much as possible,Cheers!
