I've got two towers with three taps each for a total of six taps. I've remodeled a room in my shop into an 1880's saloon. I'll have to post pics soon. Currently on tap: Deschutes Jubelale Clone, Cherry Cream Weissbier, Cana Special Ale

Is "roasty" part of a Wee Heavy style, or should it just be malty, sweet? thanks for the help, btw.

I'd love to hear what you all think of this recipe. It's now conditioning in secondary, so I can't change it, but I'd still love to hear initial thoughts. Thanks! Wee Heavy Ale - 5.5gallon batch 11.25lb Golden Promise 1.25lb Smoked Golden Promise (home smoked over alder, not very...

I calculated an ABV of 7.9% with a drop from an OG of 1.060 to 1.001. Am I doing this wrong?

I used a 1/2 cup, about a handful of beans to the secondary. No grinding and they're easy to keep out of the brew. This was for a 5 gallon batch. You could definitely taste the coffee, but it wasn't overpowering. I thought it blended quite well.

I've actually dry-hopped with espresso beans and it worked very well. The coffee flavor comes through without adding any bitterness or ruining the head.

It may be an infected bottle. Give a few more a try before you do anything rash. I've had a batch where a few of the bottles were much worse than the rest.

You need to know how far back you can place them. 30's? 70's? etc. I have some hops from the Coburg area that were planted in the 30's. Almost all the hops in the area from that time period will be Cluster hops. They're a good all-around aroma hop, from what I've garnered from others. I...

I do mine about 3.5" x 4" and get 4/page. I have them printed up at Staples on a nice laser printer for about 12 cents/label (8c/label if color copies are on sale). I do my photography editing in Photoshop and then use Microsoft Publisher to do layout. If you've got MS Publisher it's quite...

I replaced the pic with the updated version: Closer shadow (deep red as opposed to grey) Bolded copy higher quality .jpg shows better blending of edges I also bottled the beer yesterday! I can't wait to try it in a few weeks!

Haha! I don't know, but Winter Rum sounds good, too.

Thanks, Phillip, I'll give that a shot. I thought the drop shadow was too deep as well. The outer line gives it an edge that looks a bit too hard as well. Greenspey

The font looks bad in this .jpg but it looks much better printed out.

My latest label in my line of fly-fishing themed brews. It's a Bavarian Wheat with holiday spices. It's just too bad that it's USC colors! Go Ducks!

My buddy has a number of wild hops plants on his grandpa's old farm. We're in the Willamette Valley in Oregon and he's sure that they've been there since the 1960's at least. How can I identify what kind of hops they are? He's willing to give them all to me in exchange for some brew. He's...

You should all enter Lane County's next year. Just send me your entries...I'll be glad to turn them in. They require 12 bottles for entry. :D

Haha! That would be awesome. Of course, Lane County only has about 330,000 people while SD county has, what, 3 million?!! Now that's a county fair!! :)
