I just brewed a pale and used the zest of 2 lemons and a lime with my 15 minute hop addition. I sampled it today for the first time and while the flavor was there, it was a not as much as I would have hoped. I'd love to hear how it worked out adding them at flameout.

I have that same problem! Although I did discover yesterday that Austin Homebrew is not blocked here at work! Huzzah!

When I brew I typically have a bunch of random music. Everything from punk (NOFX, The Decendents, The Deviates, etc.), to rock (Breaking Benjamin, Bullet for my Valentine, Three Days Grace, etc.), to some classic rock (CCR and Tom Petty mostly). I'm even the weird dude who will shamelessly...

I love how the tastes seem to change every time you try a new sample. I just made a porter, and when I put it into the primary it was very dull tasting beer. A week later and it was very bitter. Another couple of days and it was almost sickly sweet. Finally yesterday when I bottled I tried...

I think that would be a very intriguing idea. Perhaps an oaked brown ale in a two gallon batch is in order...

My first non-BMC beer was actually a Sam Adams Boston Lager, but it wasn't until a friend gave me a Sam Adams Octoberfest that I really jumped on to the craft beer bandwagon.

I started brewing about 2 months ago, and was turned on to the hobby by a friend at work who had brewed for a long time. I origninally wanted to do it because I loved good craft beer and really needed a hobby to spend some time on. Now that I've made a few great beers, I really enjoy the...

Hey guys! I am trying to work on creating a great beer recipe to celebrate Grover Cleveland Remembrance Day. I'll post some details on the holiday at the end so you don't have to read through my slog of BS if you don't want to. A few of us have gotten in to brewing since the formation...

1. Create a perfect beer to celebrate Grover Cleveland Remembrance Day 2. Acquire enough bottles to do at least three 5 gallon batches at once 3. Develop a great, memorable, home brewing company name. :tank:

I'm making a porter recipe that calls for 8 oz. of Bakers Chocolate, but I'm unsure of the best way to use it in the beer. The recipe says to just add it for the whole boil, but do I want to just throw in the eight 1oz squares, or do I want to chop them up really finely then add them in, or do...

JRems, we brewing this tomorrow, or else I would definitely take you up on the offer. I really appreciate it though. If I come across a new recipe that I need it in before I can get some myself though, I will be sending you a message! It's really nice to be a part of community that is so...

That's awesome!

I think I'm just going to forgo this stuff in my beer just to be safe and brew this recipe again in the spring with some fresh spruce. Thanks for your insight guys! I appreciate it! -- Tim
