I have always wanted to try brewing, but never had gotten into it. after a conversation at a party in july 2008, i have decided to give it a go. i brewed my first "half" batch (2.5 gal) july 12th, 2008. i got the process and recipe off a website called instructables.com.
I bottle my beer because I love to share as much as I like to drink it. - Get Down Charlie Brown Ale

I tend to mash at a higher temp~ 158 or so and it has worked well for me. Also I like Safale 04

This morning I was bottling a half batch of my Simple-Minded Ale that was brewed on the

Howdy! I live in Nolensville and have been brewing for about a year. This is a great place to

I am brewing this now, but it looks to be a big more than the 2.5 gal I usually have. I over
sparged to make up for the long boil time. Maybe it will boil down to where it needs to be, but
I am throwi...Posted in thread: Apple Bee (Woodchuck Clone) on 04-18-2009 at 12:05 PM
Great info Dan. I would be interested in how close you feel it is when you omit the chocolate
malt and go with pilsner malt, torrified wheat, crystal 10L, and use the hefe yeast. I am going
to do an A...Posted in thread: Apple Bee (Woodchuck Clone) on 04-08-2009 at 11:24 AM
It has been a while since I have been on! You guys have been having a great conversation about
