And I mean big, 300 gallons big. So this is a long story, but for now I really need some help at least starting to craft my recipe, unfortunately this is over my head so I can only speak in 5 gallon language and 5 gallons is very forgiving, the last thing I want is 300 gallons of swill. This...

So I have recently had a few beers that had this slight apricot flavor to them and I dont think its from apricots. Specifically Moat Czech Pilsner and Otter Creek Copper Ale, and more so in the pilsner. Can this type of flavor be attributed to a certain brewing grain or perhaps a hop...

So I tried using some Jell-o in my lates cream ale. Added for the last week in the secondary. 1 Tbsp of a Knox packet, let it sit in a pot of lukewarm spring water (about 1/2 cup). After a few min, brought it close to boil, stirred. Then just poured it in the secondary. Here is a pic I took on...

Found an ad on Craigslist and turns out its a company that sells refurbed equipment. One for $20 more than one is $17 a piece plus 5% mass tax. You have to pick-up though. So if you live near Boston and can get to Jamacia Plain between 8a-4p during the week, go check them out. They claim to...

So I'm going to get into kegging my beers with some tax return money. I really want the convenience of kegging rather than washing and storing bottles. I'm actually going to attempt this as a space saving option. I'm looking to make cold storage for 2 5gal cornies. A nice tap is not very...

I think Northern Brewer has changed their kit purchasing options online. Now you can choose to have no yeast, dry yeast, or the wyeast smack packs (they all used to come with these). This has really made some cheap kit options available.

So I searched through the forum and put together a Hard Lemonade recipe for the SWMBO. I will probably have some too, heck its summer right? Heres the recipe: 12 cans frozen lemonade concentrate (Shaws/Albertson's brand, no preservatives/sorbate) 1# XLDME 2# Corn Sugar London Ale...

Heres the newest label for my Lemonale. It a Blonde made with centennial and cascade with lemon zest from five fresh lemons. Very lemony nose to it so far (still in secondary).

First time w/out a kit so I just stole some bits a pieces from a few already online. The basis is BeirMuncher's Centennial Blonde recipe, it was AG but he put an extract conversion: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showpost.php?p=426430&postcount=10 Then I added a few parts from...

Here are a few labels I made this weekend. I took the photos that make the back drop. They do look similiar to red hook labels..but I still think they are pretty original. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=781029&l=c2607&id=510441173...

Brewed and bottled this bad boy as my 3rd try at homebrewing. This was easy and I would highly recommend it to any new brewers. I skipped the secondary (full of apfelwein at the moment) and let it sit in the primary for 10 days between 65-72 room temp (fermenter remained in recommended temp for...

Took a tour at the Sam Adams Brewery in Boston, it isnt really a full production facility, more of an R&D type place. We got to sample the Boston Lager, obviously tasted great, had some summer ale, and followed it up with a Rye beer, forget the name but it was experimental. Tasted a lot like...

So I bottle my second kit and used a few growlers in the mix. Two of which I had already bottle with (plastic caps) with no problems. Third one was a new one I got second hand (metal cap with some foam to seal). I go down to chek on them after a little under a week and see a weird beer spray...

So I searched a little regarding Malt Liquor recipes and found mostly old threads. Rather than raise the dead, here's a new one: I'm interested in making a brew for this. I used to drink them quite a bit in college (St. Ides, Bull Ice, OE, etc...) And thought it could be fun to brew a batch...

Want to make Magic Hat #9 with apple instead of apricot. Thinking maybe 3-4 lbs of applesauce into the primary? This is the extract recipe for a clone previously posted: 1 lb, 13 oz. 2-Row Pale 3 oz. Crystal 60 1.75 lbs. Light Dried Malt Extract 3 AAU Warrior (30) 2.5 AAU Tettnang...

Hey everyone. Just joined the forum, 2nd batch is racked in a carboy right now (boy does she look pretty). This one is a Yuengling Clone which is my favorite get drunk beer. I live north of Boston in Somerville, MA.
