Sweet, thanks TechyDork! That sounds good to me. Timzabel12, let us know how the first tastings come out from the wort

My wife would love this!! Any thought on adding untoasted coconut late in the boil and in the secondary as well??

This sounds delicious. Why scrape the inside of the bean? Also do you think adding even a 1/4# of flaked oats or barely would help with head retention but not take away from the chocolate flavors??

So when did you add the chocolate? I am thinking of doing something like this but instead I was going up the chocolate malt and also instead of adding the coffee to the end of the boil, adding it to secondary and letting it age on it between 14-30 days

has anyone thought about adding any actual honey to the boil instead of using the honey malt?

Just have a quick question, I am planning on using a commercial style keg to put my next batch in. Does any one have an idea on how to keep the CO2 in the keg without beer coming out the top of the coupler? Thanks in advace

Just finished racking this one to the carboy and boy does it taste delicious. SG is 1.040, a little low but compared to the last 2years where I didn't know what I was at, I'll take it. I also added an extra pound of crystal 60... Probably an oversight when ordering the ingredients.. Anyways I...

I swapped out German hersbrucker hops cause the site I ordered from didn't have what the original recipe called for... Any thoughts on how the sub will work out?

Hey everyone, I'm sure there's a post like this somewhere on here but my search isn't working right now,for some reason so I've have excellent help before by posting on here so I figure I'd give it a shot again. I acquired a Danby DAR482BLS fridge and was wondering if anyone else has made a...

Here's the first bottle I opened of this years batch! I think it turned out pretty damn good, and a hell of a lot better than my batch last year! THANKS Reno! This ones ready just in the nick of time for thanksgiving. The only thing I changed from the OP was I substituted Northern Brewer for the...
