Here's a new label that I slapped on bottles today. It's a recipe based off of eschatz's Two Hearted Clone with a few changes here and there. I made a few renditions of the label by just changing the background color, and decided I liked all of them, so I used all of them. I forgot to put the...

It finally hit 65 here today, so I pulled out the brew pot and had a porch brew day. I made TwoHeadsBrewing's Summer Citrus Wheat. All in all it was a fairly easy brew day, until I realized I forgot to add the orange peel to my kettle. I ended up boiling a couple cups of water with the peel...

I was recently given 20 lbs of UNmalted white wheat from a friend. I'm curious as to if anyone has successfully brewed a wit beer with the unmalted version? I've read other places that I should essentially treat it like you would flaked wheat. If this is the case I'm thinking about using 4.5...

I just stumbled across this, and thought that everyone should know about the efforts of one Australian brewery that spreads happiness, beer, and pinup girls to the world. http://nextround.net/2009/03/skinny-blonde-beer-best-label-ever

Not unlike their single hop series, Mikkeller has now come out with a yeast series that showcases five different yeasts. The hop and grain bill of the beers are identical, but they have been fermented with Belgian Ale, Brettanomyces, Hefe Weizen, Pilsner, and US Ale yeasts. I got a chance to...

Here's a new label I put together. It's for an an Amarillo IPA...if you couldn't already figure it out. I should be bottling this sometime later this week, and it will be the first time I'll have labeled an entire batch, but I'm worried it's going to be too much black and use up a *&%# ton of...

It's a really disappointing day when you can't brew beer because there's no room to store it. I've been brewing complex beers that have been taking months to come into their own, or even be drinkable in some cases. Just recently I've been able to tap an orange coriander that had WAY too much...

I'm getting ready to mess around in photoshop, and since I have a bunch of logos and labels of my own I figured I'd help someone else out. First person to post the name of their nanobrewery wins. Here's a link to a sample, since the attachment doesn't seem to be showing up...

I'm planning a Parti-gyle from BigKahuna's https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/reindeer-fuel-stout-75249/ but I'm wondering what the second runnings will turn out like, and what to cap with to make it a noticeably different beer. OG is 1.071, but mash runnings will be less than that because of the...

So here's a label that's not quite done yet, but I probably won't have time to work on it anytime soon. I really like playing around with photoshop CS3 and found a tutorial for the main image of the girl on fire. Did that and then thought it would make a cool label, so this is what I've got.

Ok so I woke up this morning and realized I have most of the day free, so what did I immediately think? BREW DAY! Only problem is I'm a little low on specialty grains and don't really want to do a SMASH. So here's what I've got, as well as some random adjuncts ie oats, molasses, brown sugar...

Well tis the season for pumpkin beers so I'm brewing my second one of the year Thursday. Since I'd like to be able to drink it by Thanksgiving I'm not going as big as I did with the Rich's Pumpkin Ale. This one's supposed to be a porter, but I'm waffling on the grain bill and spices. I'm also...

Since there are such great hop prices at hops direct right now we're stocking up, and it also means that it's time for a DIPA. I read Jamil's article on hop bursting, which from what I gather is just adding a large amount of hops after the 20 minute mark in lieu of early addition hops to...

Hey is there an ale that uses Munich malt as the base? I would do a dark lager, but I don't have lagering abilities yet.

I was brewing the other day and had my trusty beersmith recipe pulled up on the computer. I was adding a new recipe and went to a web browser for a minutes. When I came back all of my recipes were gone. Any idea how this could have happened? I've used the path of File>Recover Table, but...

I decided to brew up an RIS posted by TUCK a really long time ago. I may or may not add the coffee or cocoa. Since this is such a short notice brew I'll have to pick up some dry yeast. I plugged the OG into Mr Malty and found that I need one and a half 11g yeast packs. Question is which...

I'm planning on doing a brew today or tomorrow, but the guy I usually brew with is at his cabin in Wisconsin, and I'd rather not brew one that we had already planned...plus he took his computer, and therefore beersmith with him, so I don't have the recipes. Been doing a lot of IPA's lately, so...

Since tomorrow is the 4th it had to be brew day today. We're doing a 10 gallon variation off of ThePols Orange/Cascade Pale Ale. It was a long night last night, so we finally cleaned and doughed 15 minutes ago. I'll be posting pictures here in a bit. Anyone else having a fantastical brew day?

So I went out on the town tonight, and being the cheap ass I am I had a Shlafly APA and then a bunch of BMC. I party hopped...mmm hops, and met up with a guy that brought some Apfelwein and talked brewing/viticulture/enology with him and started craving a homebrew. By the time I got home I was...

This beer has yet to be brewed, but I liked the name and I got bored, so lay off. Anyway this bad boy is going to be an IIPA weighing in around 90-100 IBUs and 9% abv...needless to say I'm excited.
