Throwing a few more of these back right now. This is a really good beer. Brewing it again Monday afternoon. This one will always be in stock.

I am new to all grain and wanted to be able to crush my own grain so I could buy in bulk. All I did was buy a Victoria Mill, and did a few modifications. I am very happy with it. The 3 brews I have used it for Im between 75-78% fine with me. I payed $35 for it, and spent an hour doing a few...

Obviously I know to many it depends on style, but I was just wondering, what is everyones overall favorite base grain? The couple beers that I have used Maris Otter in have tasted so much better going into the fermenter then the others. Does anyone use this as almost a staple base grain?

Very simple grain bill 80% Pilsner 13% Munich 7% Carmel 60L It was a 3.25 gal batch so thats why I just gave the %s as why these hop additions will seem different but the hop schedule was .3oz cascade (60 min) 1.10oz. Cascade (20min) .3oz Citra (10min) 1.10oz Citra (5min) 1oz Citra...

It's much lighter then the picture shows, and is without a doubt the best beer I have ever brewed. Just a simple APA.

After posting this I Googled the same question. Found this interesting http://www.ratebeer.com/Story.asp?StoryID=479

My last PM before going all grain was a Belgian Brown Ale. Well when cleaning the bottles, I found a huge wolf spider dead inside a bottle that was stored in my basement for a while. This friggin thing looked like a dead tarantula. So the name of that beer became Belgian Brown Spider Ale.

Cracked open an APA that I brewed six weeks ago. I noticed it tasted much more full and actually better after it sat for a bit as opposed to real cold out of the fridge. Made me wonder if anyone else noticed this with their homebrews.

I wish we could smoke in there. No man, just buy. You have no idea how big, and how much fun this is, and what a good time your going to have. The only word of caution I'll give you is pace! Its a marathon and not a sprint...lol. There is ALOT of beer there, and even though 2 oz is not going to...

Waiting for a delivery to get here this Friday. About 30 sticks from the blendlab at the Hamburg. Pa Cigar International, and my absolute favorite cigar, a fresh box of Liga Privada #9 Robustos. Getting to be a very hard cigar to find. Im still sitting on 5 of the original #9 Flying Pigs, that...

Awesome. Stop by the Tshirt booth and say hello. Just ask for John. The founder and owner of the festival is a very good friend of mine, I'll be there all weekend helping out in between drinking! Its an awesome time!

The celebration of the suds!!! April 5th & 6th. Anyone going? It's an awesome beer experience to say the very least.

Had fun brewing a homebrew classic (Cheesefoods Carmel Vanilla Creme Ale). I changed to to an AG recipe. I have had so many people ask me about this remembering it from like 5 years ago when I did the extract version. Fun to brew up an oldy but goody years later.

If gelatin works best when its cold as the link, and alot of people are worried about it dropping out too much yeast to carb a beer if bottled, then I would think that if its mixed in when bottling it would work well. The beer will be carbed, then chilled before serving. When its chilled...

I want to start learning more about brewing water. Id like to begin brewing using distilled water and creating my own profiles, instead of just using bottled spring water like I have. Where can I start learning how to do this? Im reading bits and pieces here and there, but I have done nothing...

I'm totally new to AG but have 60 or so Partial Mashs and extract batches under my belt. I'd say that if you have yeast activity, your fine. RDWHAHB..and let it do its thing.

Just took a wine thief sample of the Wayne1 original page 1 recipe I brewed 3 weeks ago. Wow! To a friend and I, it's very very good. It was a 3.25 gal batch. I used 1oz of sweet orange peel, and .6oz of coriander. I used 001, but if i didnt already have cleaned 001, id use US-05 just for the...

Yea I am going to be investing in my own mill. Only way to be consistent. The boil off bought it up a bit more then I anticipated, so it will be fine, but none the less a mill is a must when brewing AG, should of bought it sooner.

First batch in the now 4 AG batches I have done that my efficiency is way low. Should of had pre boil of 1.051 and I am 1.042. Its one of 2 things, a) I used a different place to get grains which in turn gave me a different crush (time to buy a mill) and b) I tried to brew a Stout without...
