Yesterday I decided to brew another batch of Pale Ale. I use EW's recipe with a slight variation. Anyway I decided to use some yeast I had saved from my last batch of Pale Ale. I had three twelve oz. Sam Adams bottles with harvested yeast. The plan was to pour them into the carboy before I...

I'm brewing my third AG recipe today and decided to experiment with a recipe of my own. I have made EdWort's Haus Ale twice with great results and I will be using the batch sparge method like he calls for. My recipe is as follows: 4# Rahr 2-row 4# Maris Otter 1# Vienna Malt 1# Victory Malt...

Today I am brewing EW's Haus Pale Ale. This will be my second AG batch and I botttled and saved the yeast cake. So I took one out of the frodge and shook it up to mix the trub with the beer that was seperated from it and decided I needed to bleed off some pressure. Well... it was a yeast foam...

Last Sunday I brewed my first AG beer which is EW's Hause Pale Ale. It has been fermenting in an Igloo Cube at 66-70F and today I did an SG reading and it looks to be fermented out at around 1.012. I started with an OG of around 1.048 so I'm guessing this one's about done. I drank the beer from...

Had my first all grain brew day yesterday. I made Ed Worts' Haus Pale Ale with a small twist. I substituted the 1/2 lb of 10L Malt for 1/4 lb. of Honey Malt & 1/4 lb. of 60L Malt. I found out after I made the switch that I actually had some 15L Malt but what the heck. I also substituded the last...

Just finished getting my carboy and first batch of EdWort's Apfelwein situated. It's already bubbling 20 minutes after pitching the yeast. Yikes! I used 5 gallons of Mott's (cheap at Costco), 2# of corn sugar and an 11.5 gram packet of Safbrew WB-06 Wheat Beer Yeast. There is already a kreusen...

Just opened one of my Phat Tyre Ales and it's a gusher after 2 1/2 weeks in the bottle. I had it in the fridge for 24 hours and it gushed like crazy when opened. This beer was in primary for 1 week and secondary for two weeks. The FG was higher than I had expected at 1.018 and I made sure sure...

Sunday I brewed a NB cream Ale from an extract kit. I checked the OG after I put it into the fermenter jug and the OG was only around 1.032, and the recipe said it should be 1.040. I went ahead and put my airlock in and befoore I went to bed it was bubbling. Then on Monday morning I watered down...

I've been watching for a deal on used kegging equipment and finally found one. Got an aluminum 5# CO2 tank, dual gauge regulator, Vent-Matic tap, tap handle, hoses and a Sanke tap all for $50.00. I'm going to order a couple of kegs and fittings now and then I'm kegging. I figure if I leave my...

I have a Craem Ale extract kit from NB I am getting ready to brew, and I'm thinking about changing the yeast used from the liquid Wyeast 1056 American Ale to a dry Nottingham Ale. I was thinking about doing this due to the temps it will be stored during primary fermentation. It is almost summer...

Saturday afternoon I brewed my second batch ever. It's a NB Phat Tyre Ale that was supposed to have an OG of 1.052. Well I steeped my re-crushed grains, then made sure I squeezed as much wort from them as possible. I brought my wort up to a boil, then removed it from the heat to add my extract...

Just wondering how long I can store my rhizomes in the fridge. One of them has a sprout that's 3" long and they seem to be growing. Thanks for any info.

Starting to drink my first ever batch. It's a Nut Brown Ale from Northern Brewer. Man is it good. Nice head after just two weeks in the bottle. I left it to ferment in the primary for two weeks and then bottled. Trying to decide which beers to go with next, maybe a phat tyre or a cream ale. I'm...

Just received my Mt. Hood and Willaimette Rhizomes today. I stashed them in the fridge until I figure out what to do next. We're planning on selling our home in the city and moving out into the country on some acreage. I'm thinking putting them in a five gallon pot would be the thing to do for...
