OK so either I'm losing my mind or I was too damn tired for brewing this Sunday. I was all excited to use my new SP10 and I couldn't get the damn thing lighted! I eventually switched back to my old burner so I know the propane tank was ok. I tried opening the propane tank, then opening the...

Anyone willing to swap Surly Darkness for something from NY or NJ? I don't know what your tastes are but I can get beers from Nectar Ales, Cigar City, Terrapin, Allagash, Dogfish Head, Ommegang, Unibroue, Troegs, Victory, Lagunitas...etc.

This is a modifed recipe that I found online for Cigar City's Humidor Series which are several types of beers that are aged on Cedar. The cedar brings out the grapefruit/piney taste of the hops and is very subtle. As per Cigar City the type of cedar used is spanish cedar which is from South...

I plan on brewing this on Saturday. Please let me know what you think. I only tried this beer once and I can't get it in NJ so this is why I wanted to clone it. All ingredients are from Terrapin's website. Type: All Grain Batch Size: 5.50 gal Boil Size: 6.30 gal Boil Time: 60 min...

What was the most expensive beer that you bought and was it worth it? Got a bottle of Deus for Christmas. http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/deus-brut-des-flandres/18912/ I think it was about $30 or $1.20 an ounce. Was it worth it..No..It was a great beer but I woudn't pay that much for it.

Cause of low ending gravity Reason 1 - Not enought oxygen in the wort. I don't have an o2 setup yet and simply mixed the wort for about 10 minutes with my mash paddle Reason 2 - Mash temperature was too high? I mashed at about 155 but maybe my thermometer was way off? Would a mash at...

I've been a fan of UFC for about 2 years now and besides my neighbor no one I know watches it. Just wanted to post something here to discuss UFC (and WEC also). It can be anything from who is your favorite fighter to who do you think will win the next main event (Machida vs. Shogun).

I currently have an old Kenmore Kegerator with 1 tap on the tower. I want to upgrade to a dual tap tower. I measured the tower itself and unfortunately its only 2.5" in diameter. When I open the top and look down it...it looks like I can put another tap possibly lower then the first faucet...

The inspiration for this brew came from here (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/german-chocolate-stout-27895/) I was able to taste this great beer at one of the flights at my home brew club last year and I knew that I needed to brew something like it eventually Type: All Grain Batch Size...

I brewed BM's Centennial Blond and for the most part it went really well. The only modification was adding 1 more lb of 2 row because I figured my efficiency would suck. After going through the process here are some questions I have: 1) My efficiency was about 65%. I mashed at 148 for 60...

And I hated it! My friend traveled all the way to Virginia to get this from NY. Maybe I am just too used to imperial styles but I didn't taste anything good about this beer. It tasted very watery and the hop taste was very week. There was hardly any nose to it either. To me it was like an...

I wanted to start this thread to see if any other homebrewer has seen any problems with their teeth after they started homebrewing. For the past 14 years or so I have had 1 cavity in my mouth. I started homebrewing about a year ago. The last checkup I had was pretty morbid. 3 cavities, a...

I just wanted to share this humurous story with you (at my expense...lol). I am new to kegging and have kegged 2 beers so far. I kegged EdWorts Haus Pale Ale and a stout. When I poured the first pint, (The beer tube isn't cut) I saw all the yeast in there and threw it out. Since then I...

I was at a brewpub the other day sipping on a beautiful double Wit that was 7.9% ABV. According to their placemat they go from grain to glass in 12 days. Now for most styles Im sure this is do-able. But how can you do this in 12 days? From what I've read on this forum and in books most big...

Hello All. I am new to this forum. I am a newbie and brewed 2 kit beers that came out pretty good. I want to "make" my own recipe for a belgium duvel like beer (Extract). I ran across some recipes and came up with the following (depending upon what my home brew shop has). Any comments or...
