Hi all just got back from vaction in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. It was a ghost town due to the trifecta of economy, gang wars & flu. It just made it better for my wife and I and our friends, we had the run of the beach. I drank so much corona and pacifico that I don't even want to look at...

I was talking with my wife and a good friend. My friend was commenting on how much he was liking the beer we were making and how it was improving the more we did it. :tank: He specifically was liking the fact that "they don’t contain all the chemicals etc that commercial beer does"...

So I cracked open my Blood Orange Hefeweizen last weekend and it was the best beer yet. The orange flavor blended perfectly. Calling it a hefeweizen is a stretch though, as I used the American Wheat liquid yeast from White Labs. It came out much cleaner and less wheaty that we expected, more...

I have a tree so full of ripe blood oranges I must use them for a beer. For those of you not familiar a blood orange looks just like a normal orange on the outside, but when you cut it open the pulp is very red, hence the name. The taste is about the same as a normal orange, depending on how...

Hi all. Have a question in regards to tempatures when about to rack off to bottle conditioning. My wife and I boiled up the American Brown Ale from Brewer's Best on 12/05/08. We left the bucket in the kitchen this time around to observe it more closely. Fermented away for a few days and has...

Hi been lurking for a few weeks. Wife and I love to home brew, just wish we had more time & space to brew more. :cross: Anyway I found this forum when I was researching getting a wort chiller vs. making one; and found myself reading it more and more so decided to register. this site sure is...
