The tibia and fibula of the right leg of the Honey ale girl are too long. She would have a noticeable limp. Her lower phalanges are under proportioned as well. She seems to be wearing boxers, but only on her right leg, and why is the band on the barrel that is laying down not rusted? Has it...

I notice that your grain bill includes 4 oz of crystal and 4 oz of caravienna malt. Do you feel this contributes to the flavor, considering it is less than 4% of the grain? I ask because I have made identical recipes varying the crystal malt by 8 oz and have not been able to tell the difference...

I can't wait to try zy/mot combo. My fav IPA combo has been Citra and Amarillo for the grapefruit aspect. How do you think they compare? MLHBS seems to hate new hops so I can't wait to go in and ask if he has any. He will always order what I need but then ask why I can't just use cluster...

You are dead on with the bittering factor of citra. I have found a recipe that solves this without losing the glorious nose of citra. Try nugget 1.0 oz. at 60 min. also amarillo with citra has worked nice in the dry hopping in equal amounts

This recipe is very similar to my recent brew, save I had heard that citra with Amarillo is awesome. They were not lying. It is now a staple on my tapper board. I kind of Frankenbrewed it with the grain bill to use up stuff that I had but I think the complex grain bill added backbone for that...

I have been getting around 80% attenuation as well, and I have loved the stable results with notty. Always clean...but it goes like a bat out of hell! I have blown my ferm. lock in my last two batches and it is done with most of the main fermentation after three days. I am thinking I will...

So I have a have a nut brown ale in the primary and has been there 3 days. I just found out in three days I will need to take a 12 day trip. I have used nottingham yeast pitched after re-hydrating, but no starter. I would like the ale to get the conditioning benefit of being on the trub, but...

I jumped into homebrewing going all-grain. I have been fortunate and have been pleased with my results. I wanted to brew a batch but knew I did not have the time for AG so I picked up an Amber kit. I followed the directions to the letter save for two points. Point one: I did not remove the...
