I recently had a glass of BCBS on tap and it reminded me how damn good these are. I've hoarded a couple bottles and they're sitting in my closet. But these were pretty hard to get my hands on- had to trade some CCB that I picked up recently on a trip to Tampa to get some. This got me thinking-...

So I brewed my Paulaner style Hefeweizen almost 2 weeks ago, and I had targeted roughly the the 2 week mark for bottling as long as the SG stabilized. So far, it's close to the target SG but the sample I tasted ran hot and burned as it went down (as I noted in another thread yesterday). Hoping...

My hefeweizen is in primary, which is on its 9th day. I just took a hydrometer reading as the airlock activity is almost nil. I got a corrected SG of 1.013 (corrected OG was 1.057, which is too high as the recipe's target OG was 1.049). I'll be sure to take more samples over the next 2 days to...

I've recently tried some Goose Island and Meantime IPAs and I found them to be incredibly delicious. While I definitely enjoy the American style IPAs, I'm wondering what other English style IPAs are out there. On a HB note, anyone ever try making their own? I imagine it needs swapping out...

At the moment, my palate's current love is India Pale Ales! I've been grabbing some mix-match 6's to try out different IPAs such as Founders Centennial, SN Celebration, SN Torpedo, Ale Asylum, Goose Island, Victory HopDevil, etc. I really liked the Goose Island IPA and how balanced it is...

The 2 brews I have in my primaries are going to be ready for bottling in the next few weeks.Be nice to establish a good pipeline.. and trying to figure out what types of beer to brew next- types that aren't too difficult but would fit the winter weather well. Thinking a coffee stout would be...

Another 'Did I ruin my beer' thread- looked through the stickies. Was brewing a 5 gal batch of IPA, my second batch (first was with a 1 gal BBS kit). Did everything I needed to do; sanitized everything like there was no tomorrow and continually washed my hands with antibacterial soap and...
