I was actually leaning towards ESB with the maris otter extract before I posted this. Was just seeing if anyone else had something other than that to brew, though mine may be a bit higher in ABV for the style.

I am trying to come up with a recipe for a beer that I can make using what I have laying around (5 gallon). All of these things I've accumulated over the years, yes some hops will be old but always kept in my beer fridge. So with that said can you all can help me come up with. Given the LME I...

I have Ken Schramm's book on making mead and in it he states he adds his fruits to secondary, but I also thought I saw somewhere on here that he has since changed that and adds it to primary once the bulk of the initial fermentation is done. So I am torn between which to do, I am making a...

So I am making my second Mead (first was a semi dry Avocado mead), this one is a Sweet Mead. I did research from a few different places and recipes to come to a simple recipe of 18lbs Honey, a 2L starter of D47 and tsp of DAP and 2tsp of nutrient stirred to make the mead. I read that it...

Tasted a Fruitcake Old ale tonight and you are correct, it got infected...but on the flip side of that, it is a very good sour

I got this recipe from a friend and modified it a bit. His recipe used Golden Promise and was all grain. I couldnt do it all grain as the grain bill was too big for my 5 gal MTL. So I partial'd it. This turned out fantastic and I didnt originally intend to put it in the whiskey barrel, that...

Im having the Fruitcake Old Ale tonight, the first thing Ill say is...Id pay money for this! Well done! I get a nice "spiced" aroma to it, like that of the fruitcake. The taste is quite good of the fruit you used, and to me I get a bit of a tart finish which I like. So again, very nicely done...

The I is my Spiced Bourbon Imperial Stout.

I have received Caramel Quad Juniper Rye (Thanks for the extra !!) Fruitcake Old Ale Crabapple Lambicky Al Gingerbread Ale If it was shipped to me I did not get the Honey Ginger IPA, if anyone is not going to ship to me if you could let me know that way I can plan around that and know about...

All of those that shipped to me so far have been in tact, no popped bottles etc... I have already shipped a few boxes back and will hopefully get a few more out after this weekend, staying good on my word to ship to those that shipped to me. Im still not happy with the carb level in my beer...

SavoryChef...got your bottles today, perfect condition...really like the labels, nicely done. For those that will be shipping to me when you get mine all it has on it is a gold top with a "I" on it. Sorry I didnt do fancy labels as Savory did :(

Yea as I said anyone that ships to me, I will ship back to, I wont be one to take and not give.

Hmmm I thought I posted this yesterday but apparently my phone didnt send it through. I wanted to let you guys know that I got some bad news this last week and the *****, excuse me, my ex wife has motioned for me to pay her more child support. So I cant afford to put together all of the...

Tasted another one of my Spiced Bourbon Imperial Stouts, still very little carbonation (which may stay this way) the Star Anise is still very prominent in it, hoping that still goes down and mellows a bit more in the next few months. Have we set a ship date for this yet?
