I'm just looking for a little advice. I brewed a heavily peated scotch ale recently (9%) that I just kegged. It's about a month and a half old. While it was in the carboy I soaked a stick of medium toasted Hungarian oak in some Old Pultney scotch for about a month. Now that I've kegged the beer...

I'm keeping it classy tonight with a wonderful hard cider in my Westvleteren glass hand made by monks in Belgium. Show me your classy beer related pics.

Hello all, New guy here, first post but I've been reading this forum and brewing with a buddy that's a regular here. I put my first beer in the fermentor on New Years Eve and it went pretty crazy for the first week. I had to switch from an airlock to a blow off tube after two days because it...
