    ISO Noble Ale Works Rakau Showers

    Managed to snag a bottle of Simcoe Showers on a recent trip to San Diego and I was blown away. Would love to get my hands on a bottle of this. I'm in Alabama, which is a disadvantage, but I'll do whatever I can to make it worth your while. Let me know.

    FT: 50/50 Eclipse Variants; ISO: Jester King Atrial Rubicite and others

    Just had Atrial Rubicite over the weekend and desperately want more. I was told there were only two cases sent to Alabama and lucky for me a coworker scored a bottle and was willing to trade for it. Would also be interested in other Jester King that I can't get. I have access to six 2013...

    Whole turkey on a Traeger Jr.

    In order to save money by not buying peanut oil to fry a turkey and also free up the oven to try to eat early on T-day I have been asked to smoke the turkey for our Thanksgiving meal. I've done turkey breasts on my Junior with great results, but I've never attempted a 15 lb bird before. My...

    Blowoff - am I okay here?

    I pitched a 1.5 L of Wyeast American Ale II Saturday afternoon and within four hours I had a nice steady bubble going in my blowoff jug. Sunday evening it was a series of bubbles that would gradually slow to a complete stop and then I would get a huge glug in the jug as the blowoff cleared. By...

    Wyeast American Ale II

    I was picking up supplies for Yooper's Ruination clone last week and they were out of American Ale, so I asked the guy about American Ale II. He said it would emphasize the hops so I thought great...let's try it. So I brewed Saturday and pitched Saturday afternoon. The swamp cooler water has...

    Trub Not Settling...Why? Help!

    Brewing Yooper's Ruination clone today. Finally got it chilled down to mid 60s, pulled the IC, and now it doesn't seem like the trub is settling. After about an hour I've got about 3 or 4 inches of nice clear wort on top of a solid bed of trub. I used one tab of Whirlfloc at 10 minutes. What...

    How is this color?

    Seems a little dark to me for a hoppy American wheat. The grain bill is as follows: Grain ------- 54.8% - Wheat Malt 38.1% - American Pale Malt (2-row) 7.1% - CaraPils There were about seven oz. hops in the boil and four oz. in the dryhop. It just scored 39 in a comp in Wisconsin but I...

    Bourbon-barrel aged cider a la Crispin Bird on a Wire

    Does anyone have any experience with bourbon barrel aged ciders? My wife loved the Crispin Bird on a Wire last winter and we would like to attempt something like it. I'm considering making a five gallon batch of cider and splitting off a couple of gallons to age on bourbon soaked spirals...

    Hoppy American Wheat - BJCP Style?

    I'm getting ready to register my hoppy American wheat for a competition and just want to be sure that Category 23 is the best place to register. I used one ounce of Magnum for bittering which gave me about 52 IBUs. I used a total of about four ounces (Citra & Amarillo) at flame out and...

    Need Quick Bottling Help

    So I was racking my American wheat this morning and looked away for a second and lost my siphon with a gallon to go. I already added all of my priming sugar so if I bottle the four gallons I have I'm going to end up at about 3 vols instead of the intended 2.6. Aside from being overcarbed I'm...

    Hoppy American Wheat Recipe Feedback and Hopping Schedule

    Hi all, I was doing some looking online for a good hoppy American wheat recipe because I want something with a relatively quick turnaround. My current batch of DIPA doesn't really taste great and at 10.5% is a little strong for me to be an after work beer. I came across a recipe on the...

    My First Recipe...Need Hop Help

    So I'm tired of kits and want to create my first recipe, but I need some input on good complementary hops. I got 2 oz. Calypso and 1.5 oz Columbus in a trade. Both are whole leaf and I would like to use them up. I'm thinking Columbus for bittering and the Calypso along with some other hops...

    Shipping beer by overnight air...

    Should it be done? Or will the differences in air pressure cause problems? I've done a lot of searching online and can't seem to find anything that answers this question. My sister bought me a growler of some Arizona beer at an elevation of about 8,000 feet. She said that when they got...

    Harvesting Conan...first attempt

    Just started my first attempt at yeast harvesting Friday since a buddy hooked me up with some Heady. Now that it has been a few days I have some questions. When I got home today there were three or four new white specks floating on the surface. I shook the flask and they feel to the bottom...
