Correct, I used EdWort's as a framework, had to scale back a little to accomidate my 5gal MLT. I am pretty sure I like Chinook (love SN Celebration Ale) and I loved Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye so I figured I'd give this one a shot!

All, Trying to put together a recipe for a rye IPA. This is what I have come up with so far. I would appreciate your comments and suggestions!!! Type: All Grain Batch Size: 5.00 gal Boil Size: 6.00 gal Boil Time: 60 min Equipment: Brew Pot (6+gal) and Igloo/Gott Cooler (5 Gal)...

Just cracked my first ever bottle of SNCA 15 min ago... It is delicious I must say!! That being said I enjoy an IPA all year round, and in that category Bear Republic Racer 5 is hard to beat IMHO

I just noticed this thread... Roxbury is down the street from me and is a great place to pick up odd ands ends (DME/airlocks, etc.) Does anybody know if they will crush grain? I haven't invested in a mill yet

First off... I may have had 1 too many Apfelwein's.... All off you (I was going to say guys but then I remembered all off the great advice from Yooper) have done more to foster and encourage the homebrew obsession more than i could possibly imagine. I haven't posted much but I have been...

I'm only 23 and rarely get carded. The SHMBO is 25 and is always asked for ID... which never ceases to piss her off :-) Funny carding story: when i was in high school I worked at a walgreen's. We had one clerk who was so afraid of getting in trouble she carded everybody. One day she carded...

Just tried my first batch of Apfelwein: 5 gal white house apple juice 1 pound brown sugar EC-1118 yeast Primary 4 weeks, primed with 5oz dextrose, its been in the bottle for a week. Just chilled one down and gave it a try. Tastes pretty good and the clarity is spectacular. Thanks...

The Bier Garden in Portsmouth, VA sports a beer menu of over 300 selections and has one of the most educated bar/waitstaff of any place I've ever been. (Not to mention pretty good Bavarian food) The Bier Garden - Portsmouth, VA

I am currently doing 3 gal extract boils but want to switch to full volume boils. I am looking at brew kettles with a spigot so that I can drain the wort directly into the fermenter. I am using a home-made "boosted" immersion chiller (h20 runs through a coil in an ice bath prior to running...

Last christmas (before I started homebrewing) I was in NYC and took the opportunity to visit the Brookyln Brewery. At the bar they had a limited edition, draft only beer that I believe they called "hoppleweizen". It had the color, yeast haze, and mild malt character of a heffeweizen but had...

Just wanted to point out - I never said I "knew" what was wrong with the beer, or that it was in fact an acetobacter infection. I am however a working chemist and I know what vinegar smells (and tastes) like. The reason for the post was to get input from those more experienced than myself...

I have been using bleach solution (~2 tbsp per gal) and then rinsing with pre-boiled water. I think my problem is that some of the beer shot up into the bulb (which I dont think I sanitized). I thought I could make the extraction more smoothly than I did (I am definitely considering a wine...

I am new to home brewing and for an initial batch I decided to go with a standard no-nonsense pale ale. Everything was going great; primary fermentation took off in about 6-12 hours and kept bubbling away for another 3+ days after which the beer steadily cleared and smelled great. I...
