<bump> I just found this post and I have about the same question. I'm trying to compare my brews that include biscuit malt with commercially available beers to see how mine compares in flavor profile. Anyone?

Back in the early 90's, before I moved away, Andersons in Maumee was the place to go for domestic craft beer and good imports. They always had bottles of Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout.

My wife has been strangely supportive with my brewing and collection of brew gear as long as I meet three conditions: 1) I don't make her smell boiling hops. 2) I don't make a mess in the kitchen, or I clean up said mess. 3) I don't collect a bunch of equipment that is nice to have, but rarely...

I'm originally from Toledo and pass through there from time to time. I would definitely stop by after you're open. Good luck!

I really like your logo. Check out the 'cartoony' turtle themed labels here: http://terrapinbeer.com/brew/. Excellent brews too!

That's why I brew naked whenever I can. Wait....cost of citation for indecent exposure? Demmit! :fro:

So....my Nelson IPA had been in the bottle a couple weeks now. It was a SMaSH+a small bit of Honey Malt.I really wanted to see what the flavor and aroma of NS is like. Wow...hmm...How do I even begin to describe this? It's almost sweet from the hops--a little fruity, but not so much citrus...

Just put your COLA to good use.

Maybe...Here are things I try (for the next brew) when I have fusels in Belgians (and others): - Try a different strain - Adjust pitching temp - Add more yeast nutrient - Pitching rate vs OG - Blending yeast strains - Stabilize temperatures until active fermentation really kicks off -...

If you're moving to Oahu, there is a small homebrew shop there near the airport off Nimitz Rd. Otherwise, mail order when you can.

I planted a rhizome this year and I'm looking forward to trying this one too.

Started with 5g of water, but because of the hops, got about 4.5 in the fermentor. Extract (late additions at 30 min into boil) 3.3 # can CBW Pilsen Light LME 2# Munton's Plain Dark DME 2# Munton's Plain Extra Light Steeping grains @ 154F for 30min 11oz Crystal 20 8oz Dark Munich...

Just bottled a small batch IPA with Nelson in it. Great seeing all the results people are getting. I've never used it before and I'm looking forward to tasting it now.

1. Samuel Smith's Oatmeal Stout - You might think it's good, but it's still underrated. 2. Almost anything from Short's Brewery - Especially Huma Lupa Licious!! 3. Kona's Pipeline Porter - should be in every store, everywhere!

Dumping a batch of mead before bottling. With nothing really to lose except space on my shelf, I should have aged it out.

Jelly Baby flavored beer?

I love to drive in the left lane. It's the cruising lane. I set my cruise control for 2mph over the limit and just jam to my music. I've noticed that there is a trend in America to use a wave that only has a finger raised. I've started waving back with that new wave, enjoying my day...

I've done this too, though I don't use a secondary unless it is a mead or wine. Since what is done is done, I just went through everything as planned. I was worried that trying to fish the stopper out or racking to another fermentor would just increase the risk of infection. So I just let it...
