Will do. I made a Chocolate Stout last year for Festivus and it had a great chocolate flavor...and I only used 6 oz in that batch. It already smells great in the primary...can't wait.

SewerRanger's recipe inspired me to try something like this yesterday, but I changed quite a few things. Should be done & kegged by Festivus. I'll let everyone know how my version turned out.

The blueberries weren't too bad cost wise, maybe 10-12 bucks, but I just feel like the past year was such a waste as I am one that likes to let my cider go for at least a year or two. I've made pilot batches before(1 gallon), but I new from the start this recipe would be killer, so I went with a...

Sooooo dissapointed. I loved everything about this recipe, the flavor, the color, a perfect amount of residual sweetness, etherything...until I popped one open about 6 months after bottling. Musty, musty, musty! It tasted PHENOMINAL going into the bottle!! Sanitized everything w/ StarSan & used...

Thanks for all the info. Ended up using 6lbs of Briess malt along with my 2.5 lbs PM grains and I don't know what my efficiency turned out to be, but I wound up w/ a OG of 1.063. I liked the price of the Briess compared to the Muntons, so pending that I like the flavor of the final product, I'll...

Just a quick question about different brands of DME....specifecly, M&F and Briess. My LHBS tells me there is a difference between the two. They say M&F has more fermentable sugars than Briess. Is this correct? If so, How much? I would think 3 lbs of DME should equal 3 lbs of DME. I have a choice...

I made my pseudo AB clone a few weeks ago, all Chinook (6 oz!), and it tasted wonderful racking into the secondary. I basically took someone's AB clone recipe found here and hopped it up w/ more Chinook. Recipe as follows: Hoppy Bastard 2 lbs Pale Malt (2-row US) .5 lb Special-B 147L...

Hmmm. I think I hear crickets chirping...

With the hop shortage and all, I'm trying not to deplete my reserves of the more "popular" hops in my freezer (ie. Cascade, Centennial, Amarillo, Chinook, etc.), but I would like to make a good IPA. Thanks to freshops I have a generous amount of Summit, Crystal & Willamette. I've used Summit in...

OK, so I ended up taking NB's recommendaton and just made a Chinook IPA yesterday, so in about 1 month when I'm ready to bottle, I should have a good yeast cake in the secondary for the Fatbottom. I was thinking what better Chinook IPA recipe to brew than Arrogant Bastard. Actually, it will be...

OK. I think I'm going to go the route of making an IPA and the pitch on to the yeast cake, like NB reccomends as opposed to making two starters. Question: Does it have to be a 5 gallon batch? I like to make smaller batches of sometimes just a gallon to play around with recipes. As long as I use...

Ok. But this is for a five gallon batch, and I only have 6 gallon fermenters(2). 5 gallons of wort and 2 gallons of starter obviously are'nt going to fit. Do I need a bigger fermenter too?
