Thans for sharing a clone for this quintessentially American beer :-) Prost!

Hello there, I'm thinking about making a beer that would be in the same vein as Bourbon County Stout. I was thinking I would age it in either a rum barrel ($$$) or oak chips soaked in quality rum for a couple days before adding to the secondary fermentation. Now,I need to figure out which beer...

Cheers on converting the 2-Row to Dry Malt Extract. I'm still a bit of a n00b in this whole brewing hobby/craft/obsession thing. Does anyone have a line as to what yeast they used in this brew?

I'm using extract, but would very much like to brew this beer. What kind and what quantity of malt extract would I use instead of the 19 pounds of 2-Row Pale?

Not to be too needy...BUT, does anyone have a partial mash recipe for the same beer? I remember trying this one and it was REALLY good.

I'm planning ahead for the cooler weather, and thought a chocolate milk stout would be awesome for my friends that don't like bitter beers. After reading some of the reviews on the Northern Brewer site, I'm really liking the sound of this style. I was thinking if I did this one, I'd add 1/2 a...

The bottles I use for my homebrew are rinsed with hot water after use. Since I always pour the beer into a glass, I don't worry about backwash. Bottles that I get back from friends that try my beer are washed thoroughly with soap and hot water, then aggressively rinsed. On days that I bottle, I...

After drinking some VERY aggressively hopped IPAs, it was nice switching it up to something a little less of a fece-melter. I was thinking of making a regular IPA after I go through my current Double IPA (currently fermenting).

Hello, All, I'm a novice brewer. A neighbor of mine (also a brewer, but with a few more batches to his credit) asked if I'd be interested in starting an experimental brewing group. I'm a naturally curious and inquisitive guy, so I'm thinking it could be fun. I had an idea of splitting up...

Midwest Supplies sells a complete brewmasters kit including kegs. I would suggest that along with a brew pot.

There are times when I've walked the city on really hot summer days. Every so often, there's a slight hint of molasses in the air. I guess it's a remnant of the flood.

I LOVE Smuttynose :-) Old Brown Dog, Finestkind IPA (ayuh) and Robust Porter are the top three choices when I go to buy beer (mostly when I don't have any of my own at the ready). I've been to the new brewery over on Towle Farm Road, and it's FANTASTIC. The whole place is LEED Silver certified...

Hey all, I was curious to see if using an electric heating pad (like people use for pain relief) wrapped around my fermenter is a good option for temperature control. I ask because I put my fermenter in the shower stall in a rarely used guest bathroom of my home. The bathroom is not heated very...
