    American Pale Ale Sacred Summit Pale Ale (AG) [[ Gold Medal and Best In Show ]]

    I decided to keep this grain bill rolling. Bumped the grain % up with a tight crush for BIAB and hit 7.25%. Bow is right, you can't really taste the ABV on this. I used summit, mand bav, jarrylo, and citra, about 3oz of each throughout. It's another one of those IPA's for people who proclaim...

    Spicy Ginger Ale

    I'm a big fan of spicy ginger beer. Maine root and 'Q' brands available in local higher end grocers are great, but expensive ($8+ 4pk 12oz). I tried using some yeast last year to carbonate a batch but no one cared for the flavor. Made some syrup and added it to club soda and that was better...

    DC Area Group Buy #13

    I'm BIAB only after moving to all grain. 10 gallon batches with a 230v induction cooker. Pretty easy and I usually end up with a higher efficiency than my recipes call for due to a tight crush. Only issue I have is high gravity stuff, not being able to mash all that grain. I'll do a 5 gallon...

    Do you enjoy Pumpkin Beer?

    Pumpkin=ok for a few weeks. Had a barrel aged rumpkin (avery) at snallygaster in DC and our designated driver said that I really liked it! Pumking is hit or miss each year.

    American Pale Ale Sacred Summit Pale Ale (AG) [[ Gold Medal and Best In Show ]]

    Did another batch with Jarrylo augmenting some of the summit. Had more of a tropical (mango?-ish) citrus flavor. Going to stick with this and maybe try the summit with mandarina bavaria next time through.

    Kickstarter for SS Mash Tun, Kettle and Fermenter

    I received my fermenter last week. Installed the bulkhead and valve. Hit it with pbw, rinse, and sanitized. Seal was good, ten gallons of brown ale in there. Shortly after that a package showed up with the updated bulkhead. I had assumed the updated equipment shipped with the kettle. It's...

    I was wondering why mine hadn't shipped yet. I'll wait if it means everything is fixed.

    Historical Beer: Kentucky Common "Kiss Yer Cousin" Rye Kentucky Common Ale

    I did a 10 gallon batch, used rye malt. WLP070 Bourbon yeast in a 2 step starter. Almost done at .013, samples taste great.

    Never dump your beer!!! Patience IS a virtue!!! Time heals all things, even beer!

    first started diluting and conditioning my tap water a couple months ago. Used a cheap scale and realized during the mash that the scale was not accurate with measurements that low. I now have a wonderful fall spiced brown with a nasty salt water aftertaste. First batch so bad that I probably...
