Hi all,
My fiance and I are going to Michigan for our wedding on October fourth. We are planning on a keg from the Right Brain, and maybe two from Short's (huma lupa licious, and noble chaos if we're lucky). We corny, but we haven't yet sanked!
I am planning out the list of...
I haven't taken part in very many exchanges here, but I have been around since last september. There was an anti newbie question bent to some of the threads last fall that almost turned me off from the site. I paid for a subscription, though, because I am here almost every day for a few...
My one attempt at a rye beer (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=71450
]), the rye didn't get crushed very well through the lhbs mill, so I decided that I would get an adjustable mill when the time came. I got the c+s 3 roller mill, and with the hopper and base it wasn't really that...
"BeerTripper
Anchor Steam Beer
Anchor Steam Beer is classified as a California Common and although it does taste different than Bud, Miller and Coors, I can't say as I like it any better. To my palate Anchor Steam Beer tastes bitter and a little dirty, and not in a good way."...
Turned 41 last week, and she said she was going to buy me a grain mill (because I don't stop talking about wanting one) but she thought I should order it, because she doesn't know enough about them. Today I got my replacement debit card (identity theft anyone?) and after confirming that my...
Thanks for that, Evan. I thought of trying a steel bolt, or something just to try it out, but I will get the right part when the actual starter happens.
P.S. Happy Birthday! Mine is the 2nd. ( I just checked your profile). Is that why the new stirplate? At any rate, have fun, and keep us...
I just found a will scientific "dyla dual" stirplate/hotplate combo for eight bucks at a recycle center. I dont quite know what to do with it yet. The magnet stops spinning if it gets too hot ( it looks old) but i have other heat sources the $8 stir plate couldn't be passed up, though. Is the...
Having just ordered the crankandstein 3d today, a week late birthday present to myself, I'm glad to hear that the ryobi 18 volt will do that much grain. I have that drill, and doing five gallon batches of usually ten pounds, it might work ( I am going to try it, any way). I just read this in...
I've certainly made batches that I didn't like, and even a few that I ended up dumping after five or six months due to lack of improvement, But there was this one time...
I own a bakery with my fiance, and that is where we brew. Usually, Tuesday afternoon is my time to "play with beer"...
So here I am, sipping a ruination, remembering the huma-lupa-licious we had at shorts last fall,thinking about ordering a keg for our wedding in frankfort, mi this fall. Shorts is one of my two favorite brew pubs. The alchemist, in waterbury vt is the other. The alchemist brews a lot of hoppy...
Regal wasp, saw lager.
I know that was post 19 in this thread, but I am just getting started in on it!
I still haven't come up with a name yet, although Bentley's Brewery is near the top. We all love our dogs so much!
Hi all,
I have an all grain pale ale in the corny, and it smells and tastes like sulfur. 10 days in the primary, 14 days in secondary, and now 10 days in the keg. I put it in the refrigerator for the weekend, and when I attached the CO2 line and turned the pressure up, it was hissing...
vanilla porter
liberty pale ale
northern brewer ipa
Maple not-so-wee heavy (10%)
and one more esb coming this weekend.
This makes 10 or 12 5 gallon batches since I started all grain on columbus day.
I dont post a lot yet, but I sure am getting a lot of help here. Thanks to all of you...
Hi, I wonder if you've ever had magic hat's ravell porter (mardi gras ale). They put vanilla beans in it, but until I saw that on their web site, I swore there was chocolate in the beer. I am brewing a porter this weekend, and will put vanilla in the secondary. Not trying to clone, or...
Hi all,
I will be brewing a porter myself either tomorrow or sunday. It must be porter season. I've not had the Edmund Fitz, but will be out in Michigan for Xmas - is it still available?
Hi all,
I just joined the forum last week, after finding the diy for a 10 gallon mlt. This past monday I brewed the first batch. It seemed to go well, for being the first time. I'll give a quick recipe and procedure review, and open myself up to comments and suggestions!

Batch sparge it is, then. I am in Burlington, so a little ways away, but thanks for the invite. I appreciate the welcome, and I hope to post a successful brew story soon.
