My Dad has been growing this hops for about 8 years now and he doesn't even Brew. I have no idea what kind it is but I'm going to harvest it and brew with it!!

just picked up my ingredients today, no Briess Bavarian Wheat DME, so I just got the Muntons Wheat DME, 6# of it. I also switched to 3056 Bavarian Wheat Blend, can't wait to brew :ban:

The answer is........yes :ban:

Oh and Congratulations on becoming a Father.....it's pretty awesome :mug:

I've been tossing around the same idea. My second son is coming around June 4th and I was thinking of making a brew in his honor, but I realized it wouldn't be fair as I have another son. My last name is Stout so I was thinking of brewing a different Stout for each of them a "Seamus Stout" for...

anywhere from 11 to 14 cdn, all of our booze is pretty expensive even compared to other provinces, lots of taxes. BMC is roughly the same price, unless on sale.

One of the things I love about Alberta, privatized liquor laws. Microbrewers can deliver beer directly to the retailer without a middleman controlling the flow. It's sad that craft brewing isn't way bigger in this province.

I've only done a few brews so far and only used DME, but from what I've read about the liquid extract is to make sure you remove the kettle from the heat source before adding it and stir well to ensure that it does not settle and scorch at the bottom, if it does scorch you will get more caramel...

Newcastle is a pretty good English Mild. they are generally low ABV beers, easy drinking and a nice toasty caramel flavour to them with very mild hops profile

Don't be worried man, my wife used to buy super expensive wine glasses that looked really good but were super thin, I actually broke them all over a 2 year period, so we went to the dollar store. They were thick but not perfect looking, but they were a dollar. I'm sure the beer glasses are...

I just did a Desert Combat Red extract recipe using light DME and 2oz of black patent malt. Turned a really nice red color, but there is a slight sharpness to it. maybe 1.5oz would have been better.

So the little guy is sick and I'm staying home with him today, wife tells me to put the pot roast in the slow cooker and lays out a recipe. I sez heck with the recipe! 1 beef pot roast 1 large onion 5....yah that's right 5 cloves of garlic! 2 bottles of Big Rock Dunkelweisen 1 1/2 cups...
