The suburb of Kirkwood has the Kirkwood Station brewery. They are usually pouring 7 or 8 different beers and have good food til 11:00p daily. You can also catch a band there about 5 day/week. There is Morgan Street brewery on Laclede's Landing downtown north of the Arch, though I haven't...

50 miles South on US 63 from Rolla MO, Houston is a small town, in the Ozark Foothills. There is a micro brewery about 5 miles out of town, off MO hwy 17 called Piney River Brewery. The beer is available in 16 oz cans at many of the regional liquor stores, the brewery is open for visitors on...

:mug: Saw something recently that said it was a good idea to put the hops in a cheesecloth bag or grain bag and weight the bag so that the hops sink to the bottom of the fermenter. I hadn't tried that yet. Any thoughts or comments?

Bottled this just today, in 12 oz bottles. It smells delightful, got a small taste of it, and has good coffee flavor. Can't wait for December, waiting is the hardest part.

:mug: So I went with Millennium. Here's the recipe: Steep 4oz. dark roasted barley(20 min/170degrees) in 1 & 1/2 gal R/O water. Remove grains and sparge with warm water into brew pot. Top up to 2 gallons and bring to boil Add 7 lbs. dark DME, Add 1 oz. Millennium hops, Boil for 55 min...

:)Thanks for the encouragement.

:confused: [FONT="Century Gothic"]Ok, so here's the thing. I had the sparged, cooled wort in the carboy, topped up to 5 gallons, and had just added the yeast when my in-laws showed up to drive us to the ball game last night. So I slapped the lid on, took the carboy downstairs into the cool...

:mug: Trying my own recipe for a Coffee Stout. Oh yeah, any association with Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que is unintentional. Using: 5 gal R/O water 7 lbs. of Dark Malt 15.9 AA Millennium bittering hops Ale yeast Cold Brewed Rwanda-Sumatra blend coffee. Wish me Luck. In Bottles: Jelly...

Right, thanks.

Hey guys, I'm putting together an all extract coffee stout beer. I have some molasses around that I thought I'd use as well. So I'm stuck on what Hop to use. Any thoughts?:tank:

Right, I caught on to that thru trial and stupid error, aka not reading my Papazian thoroughly. My issue is that it takes quite a bit of time after steeping the grain at the recommended temp to return the wort to a full boil so I can stir in Malt extract. I didn't explain that I do extract...

:ban:Excellent congratulations on your win!

I have been using a 19 qt brew pot, I think it is aluminum, it's very light weight. It seems to take a while to get water to boiling, sometimes about 20 or more minutes. Then if I am steeping grains it takes another while to get the wort back up to boiling. So, I think I may sometimes be...

:)So my wife says Necessity is the Mother of Invention.. Been looking for a way to invert a carboy for drying, and got a great suggestion on this thread. Then when I was cleaning up our laundry room I found a large nylon net bag with draw string. It was just the right size for my carboy which...

So yeah, my airlock isn't bubbling. And it's been 3 1/2 days, so I used a small flashlight to check thru the airlock hole in the top and there is a krausen and it looks fairly active. So I guess when I popped in the airlock it probably came loose.:o Anyway I guess I probably won't see any...

I want a single post on a base that is tall enough to invert my glass carboy over for drying. If this is already available, point me in that direction. If the post could be hollow with air holes to permit hooking up a blow dryer for quicker drying, even better.

:(ESB clone really trying my patience. Pitched with Muntons Gold yeast on Thurs eve it's Sunday morning and just now seeing a little action. Muntons says you can just pitch the Gold yeast dry. Anyone else had issues? Last time I used it, it flocculated like crazy within about 10 hours. I...

Been a while since I posted anything, but here goes: Brewed and Bottled a Chocolate Stout named Chocolate Santa in bottles a week now, probably won't try even one until Christmas. Also brewed and Bottled a Maple Porter with a recipe from another beer site, that just bottle on Monday. Brewing...

So we're from St. Louis and my son and I are planning to visit mother at the end of August. We are going down to Indian Point at Table Rock for a couple of days of Just Guys time. I have had the Tow Head blonde, what else are they tasting right now?

So the Citrus Wheat is finished and my Daughter loves it. She calls it SnickleFritz Wheat. It has a really great citrus flavor, more lemony than Orange. It's supposed to be for her birthday but it's so good we may have to make another batch by August.
