This is a real gem of beer history - Martyn Cornell is one of the most recognized beer historians in England - tells the story of the evolution of the British pint from the Celts/Picts through to the modern day. It's not a recipe book, but a valuable addition to any brewer's library who has...

I know that a number of us have procured barrels thanks to the efforts of Saccharomyces and Infidel, so I thought it'd be worth discussing/cataloging our efforts in a single thread. I'll go first: First up, my English Barleywine (The Leviathan) will be getting racked over to the barrel...

A friend was nice enough to hook me up with 8 lb of ground venison, and I'm soliciting advice on some good recipes. A stew is definitely in order, given the cold and dreary day we're having here in PA. Thanks!

I've been fighting with IT to fix my work computer for the past few days - and there's no end in sight. So, I did what any self-respecting HBTer would do - BREW! Formulated a recipe for a Rye IPA - big, citrusy American hops oozing out of every pore with some spiciness from rye to...

So here's the deal. I've got a bunch of rye malt in stock, and I'm jonesin' to brew an IPA. Yes, it's a bit unusual for me - but my tongue is a-tinglin' for some big American hop character and some spicy rye bite to boot. Shooting entirely from the hip, I'm thinking 70% MO, 20% rye malt...

Passed the time during my two-hour barleywine boil yesterday to update my inventory of ingredients. Heh. I gots lots. :D 120 lb Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter 120 lb CMC Pilsner 20 lb Extra Dark Crystal 10 lb Dark Crystal 10 Rye 10 Wheat Malt 5 lb Rauchmalt 5 lb Aromatic 5 lb Carapils 5 lb...

I love me some good English barleywine, but the truth of the matter is that I've never brewed one, let alone tried formulating a recipe for one. I contemplated doing this solely with MO, but I wanted to add some caramel complexity using both Dark Crystal (60 -80L) and C120. I'm unsure about...

To preface - I ain't worried about the ferment. This is my newest ordinary bitter recipe (MO/oat malt/a touch of pale chocolate), bittered with Willamette and another ounce at flameout. I've seen enough kräusen during my brewing career to know when something's amiss. But every so often, US-04...

Come out to the Flying Barrel in Frederick for the monthly FOAM meeting. The usual debauchery will commence with plenty of fanfare as usual. :D

So, I've been having a conversation with Evan! and a few other brewers regarding fitting a false bottom in my brew kettle; by suspending the hop mass above the bottom of the kettle, it would ostensibly eek out a few more ounces of precious wort away from those little sponges. ;) I'd have to...

Who's going? I'll be judging the homebrew entries along with some of my fellow FOAMers. :mug:

Sound off, ruggers. I know there's some of us here. I'll go first - play prop or hooker as need arises, though I've been known to wear a #6 or #7 at times. Play for the Roses based in Lancaster, PA - we were D2 MARFU Champs this past spring and travelled to Denver for a shot at the National...

Just about ready to come off the smoker. Enjoy! :D

What a long week. Since I've tendered my resignation, I've endured a 3.5 hour conference call on Tuesday though I've made strides in cleaning up my mess of an office in preparation to shipping back the company computer next Friday. :D Catching up on the forums and about to load the...
