Hey, OK, I'll admit I'm playing off a Simon and Garfunkel tune, but I'm working on an English style oatmeal stout using the "fab four" (parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme). I've done some experimenting with the herbs and oats and I think they may can be made to play nicely together. Anybody ever...

I searched the database but got no hits, so I'm curious. Anybody experimented with rum in a beer recipe? I've done a couple of bourbon ales (Hell, I'm a KY boy...we put bourbon in everything!) but wondered if anybody had tried using either domestic, imported, or spiced rum in a recipe. Anyone...

Ok, mixed up a batch of Pumpkin Ale, using a Wyeast smack-pack. Bubbled like crazy for about 3 days then quit. Left it alone for the rest of the week, then went ahead & racked to secondary. My OG was about 1.045, & when I tested @ transfer was 1.012, but is really cloudy. (i got same reading 3...

Hey, folks! A couple of times now I've needed a little extra yeast to kick-start a lazy batch & have just ordered extra of whatever strain the recipe called for. But I was wondering if there was a particular, somewhat neutral strain if dry yeast (both ale & lager) that I could order to store in...

OK, about to date myself here, but back in the 70's the real "King of Beers" in retail America was Stroh's fire brewed. While similar to Bud and Miller, it had a very distinctive flavor. The company went bankrupt in the late 70's-early 80's. Miller bought the patent, then released it a few years...

Hey, Y'all! Howdy from the Bluegrass State! There's only 3 things we know about here: Fast horses, wild women, and basketball! But this west KY boy is looking to start makin his own brew (not moonshine....KY boy got that covered! LOL) Been a beer lover since back in the old Stroh's era (when it...
