Current version is freaking awesome. It's what I imagined, it's like someone dropped a ton of late hops and dry hopped a double fat tire. It's great. Nice white lace on top, tons of hops on the nose. First taste is loads of caramel, almost syrupy. Followed by bready biscuit notes of malt. Fruit...

Yeah, I was worried about that a little bit. I was thinking about adding a bunch more small holes on the sides

So I have been looking for a good way to dry hop. Want something stainless, doesn't cost a fortune, can be used in the keg or fermenter. I have seen a lot of people use the tea balls/herb balls, but they are usually really small or if bigger wont fit in a corny. Enter the Kitchenaid herb/spice...

The wheat should give this a nice creamy head when I keg it. Not to mention, bumping the abv up a few points. And the wheat was put through my corona mill, and then mashed for about 30 minutes. Then it was brought to a boil. The mashing and sparging extracts fermentable sugars, the boiling just...

Got a wild hair today, couldn't brew, so let's make something.... 3 gallons of cider (used musselmans) 2 gallons great value Apple juice 1 lb dextrose 2 lb cover honey 2 1/2 lb red wheat It got weird, didn't think everything through. I mashed the wheat in a bag on stove top in juice. It came...

Talking to a guy I kind of know... Him: oh I heard you make homebrew Me: Yep! Him: Saw something one time on tv about how beer is made. It's cool they use peanuts for that. Me: Ugh what about peanuts? Him: Yeah they make all beer with peanuts. Me: Um, never heard of that. Normally beer is made...

You take regular thistle to a monk or abbot and have them pray over it. Easy peasy.

Palmer says 5% to 25%... If you want to use less, substitute a pound to a pound and a half of Maris or victory or even just 2 row for some of the crystal 60.

yeah, good catch. 1/2 Lb

Awesome, I'm curious to see how you like it. I took this to a party in a keg and it was gone in under an hour.

In it to win it

A friend gave me some hopped lme he had lying around. One was a Thomas cooper ipa, added to it a lb of amber dme and another lb of dextrose. Pitched it onto a cake of 1272 from beer I kegged today. The other was a John Bull American beer, I popped it open and saw it had crystalized, I got it...

My experience has been a nightmare, but with a silver lining. 3 months ago I brewed up a batch of SWMBO Slayer and had no Belgian yeast, saw this on the shelf at my LHBS and thought, huh, I'll give it a shot. One week of almost zero activity at 65 degrees setting in my garage. I kept checking...

Moar pikturs! UPDATE??

I'm wanting to try this in SWMBO Slayer, the only other change being .25 lb of Honey Malt in a 5 gallon batch. Any thoughts on how this may turn out?

This ^ = awesome.

The crush is coming from my LHBS, he uses the same crush he says in his own commercial brewery.
