All, I am doing what has been dubbed "world tour months", where I am brewing 3-4 styles from a region each month. This last month I brewed 25 gallons of belgian beers from a single vial of yeast. Next month, partly due to St.Patty's day and partly due to club competitions coming up, I am...

I recently had a brew day of epic proportions. I figured I would tell my tale... It all started over a year ago, when two of my close friends came to visit me and we brewed a Russian Imperial Stout and it was the best beer any of had ever made. Fast forward to Sunday, and I wanted to rebrew the...

After having listening to Can You Brew It for Terrapin's Rye Pale ale, Spike disclosed that he uses Wyeast 1272. I've been striving for a clone of Terrapin's Indian Brown ale. What does everyone think about the odds that they use the same yeast for both beers?

I love the North Coast brewery, especially Pranqster. I just tried their Brother Thelonious and among the flavors I tasted was the same celery tasted that I taste when I drink Pranqster. Has anyone else ever tasted this flavor in a beer? What is the "celery" flavor that I am tasting? And why do...

I have the standard 4912 Sanyo Kegerator with a dual tower on top. I am moving to a larger apartment and and wanting to have more beer on tap. I was contemplating builing a collar for the door (much like this thread has started https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/leboeufs-minifridgerator-149242/ )...

I am attemping a clone at this wonderful beer. Here is what I have, any thoughts on the recipe, or suggestions for a yeast let me know. Here's from the website The Terrapin India Style Brown Ale is a head on collision between a hoppy, west coast IPA and a complex, malty brown ale. Brewed...

I ordered grains to brew a pumpkin beer end of July and i still havent had time to brew it. I still won't have time for another 3 weeks. The grain bill is pretty much Richbrewers pumpkin. My question is, what should I do for hops? I have a pound of Centennial, Cascade, Chinook, Columbus, Magnum...

Picked up a 22oz of it along with their RIS, which I have already had and liked. However, I did not care for the smoked porter at all tasted like plastic to me... what does everyone else think of this beer?

Any problems with doing a 5 gallon batch in a 82qt brew kettle? I've found a cheap ($156 shipped) stainless steel kettle to upgrade to 10 gallon batches, but I still want to be able to brew 5 gallon batches (my current kettle is too small) Cheers, Marc
