  .Noble hopback. I will find the most suitable local juice, fresh honey, and good hops, I'm a
  veteran brewer, but only versed in beer. I'm just curious as to some of your thoughts on what I
  might be ab...

  I think with a pound of molasses, especially in three gallons, you're going to blow away any
  subtleties you had from the hops or your hand-malted grains. Molasses has a very strong flavor,
  more suitab...

  @Ultima: Quite interesting, but it's probably not peanut-butter/chocolatey enough for my
  tastes. Nothing like brewing with PB and chocolate for a big-time dessert beer. Your recipe
  does sound tasty, t...

  ...The fact that whatever is growing on the OP's cheese is growing on his cheese like mold
  does, tells me it's probably mold. Interesting debate in here, and a bit of reason on both
  sides. However, I'...

  This thread was an interesting read, and based on what I've had fermenting for a few weeks now
  I thought I'd share my experience/recipe.5 gallons, brewed and pitched on 3-20-1114.0lbs light

  What yeast was included with the kit? To make a true Shakespeare Stout clone it should have
  been Pacman, which is Rogue's proprietary yeast, and I've heard it flocculates really, really
  well, to the p...

  I wouldn't call it completely random, as I've seen this happen on nearly every block of smoked
  cheddar that's been left sealed for a while. I've never heard of brett being used in cheese
  production ei...

  I'm really interested in harvesting some wild yeast and brewing with it, and it's not fruit
  season yet up here. I've noticed some white spots on the outside of a chunk of smoked cheddar
  and was thinki...

  You only mentioned adding more hops, which will not increase ABV. ABV comes from fermentables
  and attenuation. If you ended up making a beer significantly larger than the recipe called for,
  I still do...

  3 weeks in primary is absolutely fine, most people here even advocate it because at that point

  was no sugar...
