Brewed a Mikkeller clone today called: I Beat You from Mikeller's book of beer. First time in my new pot, too.

Was great to see this out there in public! I don't think you know how excited I was lol or maybe you picked up on it 🤣 Prost, smokewater! Maybe I will bring my version next year...

@j1laskey first, your recipe remains one of my favorite beers and I still make at least once a year. At the NC Homebre Invitational and look what I just stumbled on :)

I didn't notice until clicking the link this is for a FIFTEEN lb cylinder. Not a 5lb. But you asked about a 5lb in your question @HBT_Admin - therefore, 8-10 is my answer to you. But my winning this giveaway will allow me to get 20-30 with that 15 pounder!

I had never heard of this before. Kegged a Anchor Liberty clone today and almost tossed it. I will give it some time ONLY because of your suggestion here. I did a couple drops of lactic (incidentally, I completely forgot to use it in my mash) in the sample and was blown away by how it changed. I...

Just made my first batch since last year :)

This is from the ReGrained website below. Personally, I dry 2-3 lbs of my grain each batch and then grind into flour for pancakes, breads, etc. I think there is a little more nutritional value than is immediately obvious? "In a nutshell, the brewing process takes the sugar out and leaves all...

I like to take my brews to beach weeks with friends, camping, or other gatherings involving those that love the craft.

Not sure that's 180...I had one for 4 years and that was not in the bottom

Two years of lagering? A Belgian dark strong? Not certain why that choice, but your bottle comment is right. Just do what you did for the bottles in the keg. One year outside the kegerator and is amazing when you put inside and tap.

I was just wondering about that with the rice hulls. Last couple batches of high gravity beers have had a little bit of a challenge with the sparge so I chucked a half pound into the mash today. I usually save my grains and oven dry them. Was curious about the rice hull portion/drying since I...
