So I brewed what would be classified as a Strong Scotch ale yesterday and made a 1 L starter using Nottingham. I use a 6 gallon better bottle with a rubber stopper and a blow off tube. When I woke up this morning I had nice active fermentation going. When I got home from work this afternoon I...

I've got some freshly washed 3944 and I don't really want to brew another Wit. Any one have any suggestions on what to brew with it? I'm thinking maybe a Belgian Pale or maybe a wheat variation.

While at my mothers house a few weeks ago I came across a Christmas gift from years back, a bottle of Young's Christmas Pudding Ale and pint glass. The date on the bottle is May 25, 2005. It has been in her basement the whole time which never gets above 65 degrees. If I drink it do you think...

Hi all. I have an old 6 drawer dresser that is in pretty rough shape. Basically all the tracks are broken and the drawers have no support. I was thinking of taking all the drawers out and cutting out all the wood spacing. I would then buy either some cabinet doors that match the current stain...

Hi all. Last year I received a deluxe home brew kit and knocked off 2 extract kits (Munich Helles and a wheat beer) and then went on to BIAB for 6 additional batches (Breakfast stout clone, Pliny clone, Tank 7 clone, Doublewide clone, a big barley wine, and a peppermint mocha stout.) My BIAB...

Hi everyone, I was hoping to get some comments and recommendations on this beer. My garden is out of control with peppermint right now so I want to brew something and use it. Peppermint mocha seems to be the best option. Peppermint Mocha Stout Style: Foreign Extra Stout OG: 1.075 Type: All...

Well I've tried to wait it out and hope that letting them sit would resolve the problem but my over carbonated wheat beer is getting dumped tonight. I had my first bottle bombs happen last night so I don't think I can take the chance on waiting any more wait and see. When I open these bottles I...

I, like many others on here, received a brewing kit for Christmas. I was very excited about this as a good friend of mine had been brewing for about 4 months and seemed obsessed with the hobby. When I got home and inspected my bucket, carboy, hoses, etc. I became very interested and stumbled...

I all just wanted to share my great experience with my first all grain batch. I did a Boulevard Tank 7 clone. My basic recipe was 70% pale malt, 20% wheat malt, and 10% corn flakes. I used Magnum, Simcoe, Centennial, and Amarillo. I did BIAB because I didn't have a mash tun built yet. I used...

Hi all, I'm currently living in St. Louis,MO and have been enjoying the Smokestack Series from Boulevard quite a bit, especially Tank 7. Had anyone attempted a clone of this. Its a Belgium ale that's really smooth. I'm moving to Michigan in the next month and a half so I don't want to start this...

I am looking for a clone for this beer or any Rye PA recipe. I've used to search bar bits it's not cooperating with my iPhone or iPad. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi all, I'm getting ready to brew my second batch tomorrow and am getting my self ready by mapping out my steps and making sure I have everything I need. During my first batch I shook the hell out of my bucket to ferment the wort. It appears to have worked fine but I was thinking there has to...

I'm doing my first lager and was wondering what the main reason is in transferring from a primary fermentation carboy to a second?

I was wondering if anyone had a good extract porter recipe? I have been on a huge porter kick lately (currently drinking a Founders Porter clone my buddy brewed up this fall). Scheduled brew date is January 28th. I'm currently in primary fermentation with a Helles that is getting close to going...

Hi all, I'm pretty new to home brewing. I've helped a friend brew a couple batches, one from extract and one AG, and I've brewed one extract on my own. My house isn't all that big and my wife doesn't really enjoy my fermentation going on in the spare bedroom. She gave me to go ahead to convert...
