    Looking to purchase bottles similar to 750ml Goose Island bottles

    These bottles are awesomely thick and seem to take a standard size crown cap. Is there any place that sells a similar bottle? I'm talking about the large GI bottles such as the ones that have Sofie, Matilda, their sour beers, etc in them.

    Planning a BCBS-inspired brew and small beer - critique requested

    Working from a recipe I put together from multiple sources to replicate the grain bill and flavor from Bourbon County Brand Stout, I put together the following recipe (Russian Imperial Bourbon Stout). Note: my "fermenter volume"s are really kettle volumes, and I will only be transferring ~6...

    Has anyone been able to replicate extreme hop aroma?

    Beers like Stone's Go To IPA and Drake's Aroma Coma have an insane amount of aroma and I can't ever seem to get that, no matter how many dry and whirlpool hops I throw in there. Is there some secret? Are my hops just crappier than the ones they use? Do they have some magical oxygen-free transfer...

    Vienna/Mosaic SMaSH w/ Brett+Conan

    I just kegged and bottled this recipe and am extremely happy with the results, so I figured I'd share. Smell is extremely fruity and distinctly pineapple. Low funk (for now), great mouthfeel despite being so dry. And, it's easy! Take note of my lame efficiency (I've since improved my process)...

    Using Kolsch yeast for an IPA - temperature and pitching rates?

    I have an actual Kolsch fermenting right now with WLP029 at 60F. My plan was to use slurry from this batch to ferment a IIPA of sorts afterwards, based on the idea that Kolsch yeast is clean tasting and rumors that some breweries like Odell use it or another Kolsch yeast as their house strain...

    Sour in secondary for 4 months with no activity - suggestions?

    I've got my first lambic in secondary right now. It's been there for about 4 months and currently shows only the faintest hint of white film only on the very edge where the top of the beer contacts the carboy. It was fermented with the Roselaire blend plus the dregs of a few select sour beers...

    English (kinda) IPA - looking for critique

    I'm a relatively new homebrewer, this is the first recipe I've put together completely from scratch and I'd like some critique. I'm a huge Firestone fan so I decided to try something with English Ale yeast and threw some Maris Otter in there as well. Any ideas are welcome, I have no idea if...

    Drake's Black Robusto (with input from the brewmaster)

    Hey guys, I'm totally new here but just spiraling into the delicious black hole of money and time known as homebrewing. Anyway, for my first dark beer, I wanted to brew a clone of one of favorite (if not my favorite) porters, local brewery Drake's Black Robusto. If you haven't tried it, you...
