Work at a television station. Camera Operator/Production Assistant/Master Control Anyone familiar with Austin City Limits on PBS? Thats us.

Trying out the new (new to me) cans from the Austin TX Brewery Hops & Grain "Alt-eration" Really enjoying it so far.

Because pictures are always fun:

Sadly, I don't know any other homebrewers to do this. I have tried to convert some people, but interest is minimal at best. The mix is very light in color. For example, I probably wouldn't have known it had any chocolate in it had the bucket not been labeled.

Great ideas and advice so far, a big thanks to everyone. I will be taking everything mentioned into consideration. :mug:

That is a great question Revvy. I have looked into this and what I have found out is that 1) This is was a tiny little brewhouse on the outskirts of the city. No website, out in the boonies and not very popular 2) I also found out today that when this person was rummaging/cleaning up the...

Yeah really, "problems" dont get much better than this. I will defiantly get something brewed with this and get back to y'all. I am in the process of moving though so it may be a little while however.

Thanks for the ideas so far! I do BIAB, and depending on grain bill, the largest batch I can make is make 3-3.5 gallons. Based on the different suggestions I have received I think that I will use 6lbs of 2-row and 1.25lb of "mix" for a 3 gallon batch. Hops have yet to be decided, I am...

Currently grinding some grain in preparation for a Vienna Amarillo SMaSH to be brewed tomorrow morning.

All I can provide to this is that I brew 2.5 gallon batches and use 5 gal carboys all the time, without any problems.

A light colored beer then add blueberrys into the secondary? edit: Darwin beat me to it! Guess I need to read better..

Earlier this year on the blog "A Diary of a Part-Time Monk, the author consumed only homebrew beer for the entirety of lent and he posted updates everyday chronicling his progress. It was pretty interesting to follow at the time.

Just mashed in the Quaffable Irish Red. I have been wanting to give this beer a try for a while now.
