You know that what I was thinking too. Thanks for the reference of the recipe, I will take a look at it.

Hey all, I have about 4 gallons of a malty Oktoberfest that I kegged five weeks ago. This beer just isn't doing it for me. I seem to taste a little twang to it. I want to see if I can add some type of pumkin pie flavoring (ie. brewcraft?) or spices to this to maybe mask some of that twang and...

I've got the same thing happening right now with the same strain of yeast. The Kolsch has been in the Primary for almost 2 weeks with little sign of the krausen subsiding. The airlock is moving every 15 seconds or so. I've been fermenting at about 56 degrees. I wanted to rack this weekend, but...

Look for this to become a tv series in the near future on the AMC channel. I hope they do it justice. They have a great writer.

then you will love this comic called The Walking Dead. Read the 1st issue here :cross:

Here's a shot two weeks ago in my backyard. My son and I build the birdhouse and placed it on top of a 10' conduit pole. Then I fished some twine through an eye at the top. This will make it easy to lower the vine when its time to harvest. I thought the birdhouse was a good way of adding purpose...

I was happy to watch a movie based on a lifestyle I am so passionate about.

This is a scam. I know its tempting cause you want to sell your van, but don't do it. What will end up happening is you will get a check that will be higher than your asking price. He will say his bank made a mistake and that you should send him the difference from your bank account. His check...

Thanks for the info guys. I have checked my gravity and fermentation is completed. I really want to bottled this brew,but due to the bubles, there is hop residue floating up and down in the carboy. I am thinking I can do three things: 1-Transfer my beer to another carboy and hope it settles...

I brewed up an IPA 3 weeks ago. Started at OG 1.071 sat in primary for 10 days. Transfered to secondary at 1.020. I dryhopped with pellets in a bag thats floating, last week (note to self 5 marbles is not enough to sink bag) . Now I have small bubbles around the neck of my carboy thats making my...

I'm a big zombie fanatic. Most my favs have been mentioned. I really liked Resident Evil series. I thought House of the Dead was a real sucky zombie movie. If you like zombies I would recommend "The Walking Dead" comic book from Image The Walking Dead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This is a...

My local club and I are brewing up 55 gallons of a Robust porter this weekend. We will secondary all the brew in a 55 gallon oak whiskey barrel. Yummmm!

I brewed up this recipe last Sunday. The only thing I changed was the yeast. I used Ringwood ale yeast. My fermentor is still bubblin today, 9 days after pitching. Most of my fermentations take 3-4 days. Is this because its a bigger beer?

So I put together my homemade stirplate 2 weeks ago, and purchased a 1000ml flask. I boiled maybe 850ml of water with 3 ounzes of DME in the flask, cooled to 70, added a vial of liquid yeast (Ringwood). This gave me the 1000ml needed. I placed tin foil on top and let the stiplate do its job...
