Am I safe to assume that what beers were made were made without hops?

Try out Sling TV they have all those channels for $20 and usually you can find some special that will give you a free ROKU or something similar. We are hooked on the 100 right now!

:( Sideways pics again? UGH!

I have to say how much I love the versatility of this recipe I nixed the Vienna from the original recipe and added in 2.5#'s Marris Otter....after primary I racked onto 1/2oz Galaxy pellet hops and the peels from 3 oranges. Fruity and delish! This is a new house beer! OG was 1.058 and finished...

I haven't done it with a stout. But the last few beers I've brewed, I racked off the yeast and trub and kegged them. Then just put the lid back on the fermentation bucket for a week or so until I brewed again (I did put the bucket back into the freezer/cooler where I ferment to keep it at the...

From the videos I've watched, the top stuff is what you want.

Just racked my 3rd batch onto a 1/2 ounce of Galaxy and the peels from 3 oranges. The 2nd keg of this should pop in about a week so hopefully this should be ready by then!

This is a 6.5 gallon bucket with about 5.5 in. The last one I did on this yeast cake it was done in 2 days...went from 1.055 down to 1.006! I feel like this one is going to be about the same. Maybe next time I will try using just a portion of the yeast cake I guess.

This is my 3rd time making the same beer and pitching right on top of the same yeast cake (Notty). The 2nd time is was a pretty crazy fermentation but this time.....within the hour of me putting the bucket into the cooler it's already clogged the blow off tube 3 times and the bucket is swelling...

So I followed the link given to me above and I made the NY style dough..or better yet, attempted to make it. I followed the instructions to the letter and when I pulled the dough out of the food proc. it was a sticky mess. I spent the next 10 min or so adding flour to the table and kneading it...

I'm following along on this thread...I scrolled through some of the 100+ pages and it looks like people are referencing the dough more than anything but I didn't find any posts about how to make. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction? We do pizza night on the grill, no grill plate...

I brewed this on the 18th....The keg is almost kicked :eek: I bought the ingredients to brew this one up again and thought I'd throw a slight variation in there....has anyone ever used Herkules hops? My LHBS tells me it should impart a slight strawberryish flavor, yet every search I do does not...

I'm with the OP. I have tried many times to like their beers but I just don't. They are very good at packaging! They've suckered me in quite a few times with their pretty labels and cool beer names, Only to have me dump out the other 5. I've battled with myself in the beer aisle many...

I brewed this up with a slight variation....I eliminated the Vienna and added 2.5 pounds of MO. I wanted to get a slight bit more malty flavor and I wanted to boost the ABV to around 5.5 to 6ish. All went well on Wed the 18th, OG of 1.055.....Now Monday the 23rd and it finished at 1.008. She...
