I'm just trying to get rid of a bunch of grain I have sitting around. How does this recipe look? It uses all the extra half pounds and whatnot I have sitting around. http://hopville.com/recipe/930899/oatmeal-stout-recipes/kitchen-sink-stout If I need to remove or add anything that would...

I brewed a high gravity beer this weekend. After pulling off all we could use we were still pulling wort off at 1.050+. I filled 2 milk jugs and 2 2 liter soda bottles and froze them. I could have gotten more but my propane burner was boiling the everloving **** out of my barley wine so I had to...

I rarely have a chance to get by the homebrew store. Their hours conflict with my work hours. Last Thursday I was signing papers on a house so took the day off. I swung by the LHBS with no brew plan. I made this recipe up on the spot in my head...

I bottled a cream ale this past Saturday. I had been using an online calculator to figure how much priming sugar to add. My past two batches have come out a bit flat so I decided to add a bit more sugar than the calculator suggested. It suggested 2.8oz of cane sugar for 5 gallons. We ended up...

A little warm water, a scoop of oxyclean and one of these. A 5 year old who loves "helping daddy make beer".

Followed the recipe in clone brews for a Left Hand Brewing milk stout. Brew day went fine. Went to bottle it last night. When I popped the lid off the fermentor I poked my head in to take a whiff. I about got knocked down by the smell. I don't know how to describe it but it burned my nose and...

So me and my brew buddy did 2 batches of beer yesterday. Our 3rd extract batch, and a partial mash batch. The LHBS guy helped us formulate the partial mash recipe and he tossed in some irish moss tablets. When brewing we decided that what's good for the goose is good for the gander and near the...

I picked up a couple kegs and plan to convert them to brew pots. My uncle has a metal shop so I plan on taking them out there to cut them open and weld in some fittings. His shop is about an hour away out in the boonies so I wanted to check to make sure I had everything set before I head out...
