Check out this video! This is a beer I made from the second runnings of 3 different beers. They were a porter, a stout and a wheat beer. I ended up with about 11 gallons of runnings. I added 6 lbs. of DME and boiled it for 3 hours. That's right! 3 hours! I added 2 oz. of cascade hops. 1 oz. at 2 hrs., a 1/2 oz. at 30 mins. and a 1/2 oz. at the end. I boiled it down to 5 gallons and, that gave me an OG of 1.096! I pitched 1 packet of Safale US-05 and it is fermenting like a mother fucker! See for yourself! Watch the video!
The primary finished in about 3 days. There is a ton of yeast in the bottom. About 4 inches! I have never seen anything like it! I should end up with about 3 1/2 gallons of Jet Fuel! I don't think I should be smoking when I'm drinking this stuff. He He!!!! I will keep you posted.

That's insane, it looks like it's carbonated it's fermenting so hard. You probably should have used a blow off tube. Can't wait to try it!
heheh I saw the title and thought this would be a nice cerebral article on making up starters or something with second runnings...Outstanding...I was not prepared for the gurgling beast! Send a pint to Dallas!
Sorry brewrob, this beast is for the Freak Brothers but, you gotta try this. Crank it up and add whatever you want. This is a great, inexpensive, way to experiment. If you have always wanted to try something but, you don't want to fuck up a good batch of beer, here's your chance.
