This totally made my day! I haven't been on here in forever, but brewing up a beer for Skyrim is such a great idea! Although, I may be one who passes on the skooma...:drunk:

Haha, I guess tasting it couldn't kill me! I'll give them a smell and a taste before I try bottling them. They are a belgian wit and a firecracker red (an amber ale with cinnamon candies), what is best for a cask beer?

Hello all! I was super into brewing a good bit ago, brewing batch after batch, on here everyday, etc. But other stuff picked up and I totally fell out of it. Well, after picking up an oak cask, I want to jump headlong back into it :rockin: Here is the question: when I say fell out, I mean...

Well, i double the recipe suggestions for spices in my pumpkin ale, so hopefully that will make a mellow pumpkin flavor in the stout. I didn't think of flavor loss... do you think it would amount to a significant amount over a year? I just want to do that because the best beer i've made...

Your socks..... melted... to your leg... I'm so glad you are ok, because I almost peed myself reading that story! "And the Best Costume in the World Award for 2008 goes to: Giant Ball of Fire!"

I could not find a recipe for this, so I'm basically taking my stout recipe and my pumpkin ale recipe and putting the relevant pieces together... Question is: will this work? 6 2/3 lbs. Dark Malt Extract 2 lbs. Dark Dry Malt Extract 1 lb. Crystal Malt 1/2 lb. Roasted Barley 1/2 lb...

that's great news, thank you so much for the help! And i'll take that into consideration will, i am making chili on sunday...

So I have made my first mead with little research (not how i wanted to). I was at my LHBS and mentioned that I was looking at making mead. The guy there said "it was 12lbs of honey, yeast nutrient, two packets of yeast, and around 4 gallons of water. All in the bucket, stir, done" Thinking...

I'd like to hop in on this, my logo is mostly a combination of other people's work, when I get a chance i'll email you and show you what it is right now. Thanks for the offer and welcome to the forums

Sounds great! When will you be in the area? Send me a PM and we can see how our schedules work.

Can't believe I missed this thread as well! I'm less than 20 minutes from Kennywood too... Sorry you didn't get to meet any HB'ers, but drop me a PM the next time you are in the area and the three of us can get together :mug:

Here are the links to two pictures. They were taken with a cell phone, but looks pretty much on... http://www.theheatdishproject.com/beer1.jpeg http://www.theheatdishproject.com/beer2.jpeg

Pics are being transfered to my comp and then uploaded to a host site, give me a minute

First off, sorry, i searched threads for mold and couldn't find anything, so here I am... In January I made Orfy's Hobgoblin clone from extract. Its been in secondary since some time in February. Last month I put a sweatshirt around the carboy since traffic through the basement...

Thanks, that is what i figured, but i wasn't sure if it would start to "skunk" No update on the smell or taste, that's why its been in secondary so long! I'm hoping to bottle it this weekend, so i'll let you know :mug:

So I brewed up Orfy's hobgoblin, everything was normal, moved to secondary.... and then a whole bunch of crap came up. Save an explanation, it has been in secondary since mid-January. id say its fine, but i just thought i'd ask if that could be bad being in secondary for almost 5 months...

its not really a brand, but a type: if i drink too much stout i have really bad hangovers

well said, my feelings exactly. :mug:

I'm sorry if I misquoted you, there are several people discussing this very, very hot thread and i couldn't pull the quotes i wanted to address from multiple posts on multiple pages. Again, its the typing over the internet as opposed to talking in person, i meant those to be air-quote-esq...

Thank you for the clarification, I'm not looking to pick a fight either, but its hard to get the meaning conveyed by tone and facial expression in person when we just type flat words on the net! That being said, i'd rather ease the tension and slow the conversation than continue the rants, so...
