Yeah I treat twist offs as one time use, they are just too hard to deal with. Aside from being clear and irredeemably labeled, Topo Chico bottles are the best. But Fischer made the best - brown and flip top.

Nah they are pop top. I can’t recap twist offs so your memory is correct.

Had an old recipe that I modified because I had some spices lying around to use and leftover LME from the other batch going. Here’s what i did:

3 lbs Llano Pils steep 45 min at 150-60 degrees

Bring to boil, add

6lbs Gold LME

1 lb Pils LME

2 lbs honey

1 oz Cascade

After 45 min add:

1/2 oz Cascade

0.4 oz bitter orange peel / 0.5 oz sweet orange peel

0.5 oz mix cracked coriander seed and coriander powder

After 10 more min add 1/2 oz Cascade, boil 5 more min.

Cool and add water to bring to 5 gal, original gravity should be about 1.071, maybe a little higher? Pitched Wyeast 3787.

Final gravity of this batch was 1.019 with the priming sugar so about 7% ABV.

But if possible I’d like to cause a short without being an animal about it

Wrongly

Operate it wrongly enough

Diastaticus is a good one I want to use in meetings.

For your bock though, you’ve got a stuck fermentation, that’s not hard to at least attempt to fix. Warm it up a bit or pitch a starter and see if that works.

I’m thinking it was a temp spike as the house heat came on. Hasn’t run and it was pretty cool in it’s little corner, then warmed up some and all the sluggish yeast woke up.

I’ll type up the recipe just for the record

I know some of these words
