Alright I have come up with a recipe for the annual famliy vaca down the cape (Cape Cod for those not from NE). This will be a lighter beer to appeal to all beer drinkers. A nice refreshing beer after a long day at the beach. Last year I did a hefe (the simple hefe recipe in the database)...

This is not good, I just finished brewing my porter that I was using as a starter for my barleywine... Broken glass in the primary... Do I ferment and leave that stuff in there and be very careful not to transfer to the secondary? I mean it's going to be racked a few times before bottling, so...

So I am debating on which beer to make to be used as a starter for my huge beer, a 15ish% barleywine. This is kind of a celebration for my first year of homebrewing, which I started last May. My beers of choice is a brown ale, my first brew ever that turned out really good, and my dad keeps on...

They don't mix, but I'm sure a lot of us drink beer and shoot guns. Hopefully we do it in the reverse order. But I'm a newer gun owner. I love beer, and I love guns. Lets share our stories. My first is a Ruger sr9c, love it. I moved to NH because of the better gun laws than mass, lol. If...

I picked up some ingrediants for a chocolate stout. I was planning on adding some oats, but picked up wheat instead. Oh well, no biggie, and read flaked wheat is great for head retenion. I will just be steeping it with the other grains. I know you are supposed to 'mash' with some 2-row, but I'm...

So this one kind of just popped in my head. I am brewing this to be ready in October when I go visit my brother and sister in law. My brother is in an ipa kick, and I always love them, so I wrote down a quick recipe and bought the ingredients, sans the hops since they were out. But, I found the...

Hey guys, I thought of an IPA recipe off the top of my head which included Simcoe, Amarillo, and Citra hops, as well as Centennial. My LHBS near work has none of these, besides the Cent. Anyone know of anywhere that has these right now, or do I have to wait 'about a month' for them to be...

So, I am racking my RIS to the secondary tomorrow, and I propped it up on a bench so any stuff that gets moved around has a change to settle to the bottom in a day. So I was thinking, well.... it can't hurt to open it up and take a quick look and smell. OMYGERD! I didn't even see it, and I...

Hello all, New guy first post. I have checked out this forum as a lurker for a while, so decided to join to get some feedback on my Vanilla Bourbon Russian Imperial Stout extract recipe. Mmmmm sounds good, doesn't it! My first brew is in bottles now, I'm going to crack one open tomorrow...
