tomorrow huh?

yeah, its been out for a few weeks now here in san marcos if you dont have it yet you need to complain to your distributor! -REED's is a Jamaican ginger beer thats available in the states, i just saw some at Home Goods a few days ago, pretty good stuff! have you though about making your own...

Pounds would be if you were seeping fresh ginger for a short period and then pulling the ginger out before fermentation.... an 1 oz or so of dried is adequate for leaving in the carboy during primary fermentation. i think dried is much easier and gives more of a ginger bite, instead of a...

umm, i didnt really think about that (?) the juice is pasteurized when its bottled, i assume something could have got in the mix while pouring, but i doubt it, im pretty sterile, but anything can happen... i do intend to drink then all with in 3 months, so i guess its not too much of a concern...

lol, i'm sorry but thats just too funny not to laugh! it must have been a dis-loyal home brewer! :shame: You should sell your golf bag, and use the money to buy a nice brew pot with a false bottom :thumbup: -with the sugar, no. it was already pretty dead at 1.008, i wasnt really worried about...

Spicy Rio (The idea is a Texas Blonde Ale brewed with ginger, and bottled with grapefruit juice.... of course) 1 3/4 lb 2 Row Malt 1 lb Vienna Malt 3 lb Extra Pale Extract 1 lb Brewers Corn Syrup 1 oz Brewers Gold 1 Whirlock tablet 1/2 tsp yeast fuel/yeast cake 11g Nottingham Ale yeast (wort...

:ban: My Ruby clone, which I'm going to call Spicy Rio is complete! The best part? 3 out of 6 tasters couldn't tell the difference between mine, and Shiner's! The other 3 could definitely tell but said it was very, very close! :mug:

Sooo...... anyone know when that "103" is going to be released?

idk if you've done this yet, but I would highly recommend using juice instead of flavorings, really thats what Spoetzl's uses anyway i also made a Ruby Redbird, in that I used grapefruit juice, and the flavor is MUCH better than the flavoring I used in this one...

the chemical-like taste has softened up a lot, and I'm the only one that notices it now.

GOOD NEWS! Kinda... So I don't think it particularly tastes like "Cheer", however it was a huge hit! I think it needs a hint more peach, and a little less pecan. I took it over to a party of a bunch of people I didn't know, in order to get a more honest opinion. Everyone swears it...

i just opened one to check the carb- just as we feared - the peach flavoring gives a "muddled taste" as RAM mentioned. and even though I used half of recommended, the flavor and after taste screams fake flavorings - this is my first brew involving flavorings next time i think use like 2#'s (just...

Change: I added the roasted pecans (80 grams) to the secondary- idk what I was thinking adding to the mash.. bottled on the 13th, everything seemed ok, nice aromas OG 1.047 FG 1.012 ~4% abv lets see how this turns out and go from there :mug: yeah, i only used half of "recommended" on the...

hmmm, care to share your recipe?:ban:

Ya'll can argue all you want, it doesn't change the fact that Wild Hare IS the 103 Anniversary Celebration Brew. If you don't believe it, call Spoetzl Brewery and ask for godsakes! 361.594.4294 Edit: Just called, and they confirmed it.
