I'd just condition some of that brew in a growler. They last up to a few days, and he can drink it in 16 hours. Mathematically, he's getting a fresh brew. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

What's the recipe for that Irish Car Bomb stout??? Sounds interesting

Not brewing, but bottling up a Belgian brew, a California common, and taking an IPA to the secondary for a little dry hop :-) no brewing but busy nonetheless.

If it smells a bit too hoppy just age it a tad longer. The aromatic side of hops tends to dissolve over time. The flavor is more what you should pay attention to. That sticks more.

Probably Bridgeport IPA or Deschutes Mirror Pond

Haha, I think this is probably the most accurate quote. What are you doing posting in a home brew forum if you don't like beer?

1990 Mercedes 300SEL. My cars dope

I've used 2 sticks of cinnamon in a 5 gal batch, but that was in the secondary. It was a cinnamon espresso stout. I actually had brewed the coffee separate and used 1tsp of ground cinnamon in the coffee grounds, just a standard 12 cup brewer brewed with strong coffee for the wort. It was...

Hazelnut Bourbon Ale, using organic hazelnuts ground and ran through a french press, light LME, some caramel and crystal malts (maybe a pound and a half?), usually about 3 oz fuggles and citra hops, and a 5th of bourbon and some oak cubes tossed into the secondary after 3 weeks in the prime. I...

Lol yea I work for a bank. They definitely give away a lot of prize money for random things. Story is not unbelievable. And for all those who keep hating the fact that banks also make money, DUH!!! They're businesses!! What do you expect? Show me one business who doesn't have a revenue plan, and...

I've always been a fan of hops straight into the carboy. Primarily because I don't want any influence in flavor from something like a cheesecloth. It's ok in the boil, but I hesitate to throw in a cheesecloth to my fermenting brew. Even the slightest dust, dirt, or whatever can tweak the brew in...

I feel what you guys are saying! It seems like there's a point where the beer all of a sudden loses its "homebrewyness" and the flavors you aimed for come together. I agree that it depends on the beer itself, but the point of this thread is that we all need to be patient, right!!?! If we make...

I made a bourbon ale that was not very good when it was early on in the process. I bottled them and forgot about it and left it in my brew room for several months. Now, 4 months later, it's one of the best batches i've done. It's crazy how much of a difference time makes.

Yea my goal was something lightly flavored, didn't want a real heavy fruit presence. I don't really like fruity beers so I just like it for the aroma. It's more of a yeasty beer. I planned to sample some before transferring to a secondary to see if I wanted to incorporate more, but for now it...

Brewing first belgian, decided to do with a little fruit in it. Dunno how it's gonna turn out, but hey, we'll see :drunk: 11 lbs LME 1lb bavarian wheat DME 1lb. organic strawberries 1lb. organic blueberries Grains: 1lb. Belgian Pale Malt 1/2lb. Extra Special Malt 1/4lb. Cara-pils...

USA. Hands down. Not only do we make everyone else's styles since people bring their recipes with them from their old countries, but we even perfect them due to our competitive nature! And there are many styles developed in America. We have the best beer simply because we have every beer. Even...

Can't say I've ever had a Lagunita's I didn't like. They do great things with IPA's.

The great thing about making your own beer is that you can make it healthy if you wanted to. Try making a slightly lower alcohol beer, like 4.5 - 5%. I've also brewed with berries and yerba mate to add an extra antioxidant boost on top of what you'd already get from the hops and grains. Look up...

Yea the smell really isn't bad at all. When boiling, the house would actually smell like someone is baking bread. Very grainy and bready smell. When you ferment, it'll be in a bucket with an airlock, so bready CO2 is really the only smell, and it's really minimal. I think it's best to start...
