Potentially was still fermenting in the keg.

I just tried my "pumped up" batch. Super tasty and very rummy even without sitting on the chips yet! It's down to 1.04 so still a long ways to go. Going to be awhile before it's ready but I liked what I tasted today!

I left for a business trip last weekend. Hops were super green, flourishing, with cones to be seen. I got back 9 days later and think my wife forgot to water them :( Or maybe it was just too hot for them. Them being 2nd year Fuggles and Tatnager. It is California and it was 100+ for...

I add it to the start of the boil in small quantities so it doesn't scorch.

Bottled a case of Everything's Peachy wine. Bottled a case of Apfelwein. Transferred a 5 gallon Skeeter Pee. Harvested the yeast and started another batch of Apfelwein. Kegged a batch of Berliner Weisse and a batch of Creme Ale. Brewed a batch of Pirate Ale. Yeah it's been a busy brew weekend!

My pipeline is strong. I plan on aging it as long as it needs! I'll let you know where it ends up. Honestly, this is my #1 favorite recipe to brew. WHEN I move to the Caribbean and open a brewery, a derivative of this will be my flagship.

I have made quite a few batches of this. I am upping the "strong" aspect of it this time: 6 lbs light DME 4 lbs of brown sugar I pitched on top of a previous yeast cake and this morning is chuggin like a freight train. Measured OG 1.0920 (actually 22% brix reading). Estimated ABV 12.9% if I...

A draft Cass at Relish in Songdo South Korea! 1st beer in Korea, and Samsung is paying for it :)

Backyard Rose. It's almost a year old. Amazing what this little "hobby" has taught me. Here's a toast to all of you sipping the fruits of your labor. Sometimes I get choked up thinking about it. That usually means I am well on my way to being drunk. /CHEERS!

I keep the rum chips at room temp. As for dry hopping, I would say it depends on what you want from the beer. I personally really like the sweet rummy / tropical and caramelized flavors. I think dry hopping or pumping up the IBUs will mask or compete with those flavors, but don't think a...

Yeah screwed up the title and you can't fix the tag. Oh well'

WOW! What a day! Don't hate us, cause you anus! (Interview reference) Friend swung by house at 7AM and we were in Santa Rosa a little after 8AM. We parked the truck the cruised over. I guessed the line was a little more than 100 people when we got there. My buddy went to the front and...

Dear Russian River Brewery, I know your posted capacity is 135 but I just counted and am number 137 in line. Can you really not find room for 5 more people! Signed, Waiting not-so-patiently...

8 AM and the line is long but I'm psyched! Took the day off of work to drink beer! Any other HBT'ers out here? UPDATE: I posted the entire experience on Pst #36 in this thread. Page 4 :)

That's interesting. I have read that Baltic Porters were traditionally top fermented but switched to bottom in 1800 ish. Is the style now considered a must lager?

Hello! Trying a recipe I'm toying with not sure of the style. Any help appreciated! 7# pale malt (2 row) Belgium 3# white wheat 1# cara II 1# crystal 120 1# chocolate wheat 1# maltodextrin 1# lactose 1 oz magnum Nottingham yeast Started with a stout in mind but like the idea of less roast...

Not mad just came to collect on the "Brah Pats gonna dominate" comments earlier in the thread. Didn't see that at all. Enjoy the victory as I said above. They are pretty hard to come by in the modern era. Edelman will get what's coming to him. He did what? Oh that's right 109 yards...

Wait what happened to the predicted Pats domination?? I didn't see it. In fact I saw SB49 given to the Pats by a poor play call in the last minute with the Hawks posed to score and walk off win it. Enjoy the SB victory, it's nice to have one gift wrapped by the other team! I see Edelman...

Stop the bull****. The balls COULD NOT HAVE NATURALLY deflated that much regardless of conditions. PERIOD! I don't want anything to happen prior to the Super Bowl. I want the Hawks to stomp the crap out of the cheaters legit, then have the NFL do what is right and fine/penalize the **** out...
