Ok, have secured the ingredients for from scratch root beer syrup (to be mixed with carbonated water). I liked this route better as while I have a kegging system I got some serious warnings about the flavor never getting out of a keg or o-rings. Plus, right now I have an empty keg with nothing...

So locally there was a one off beer produced by a local brewery on contract from a beer bar in town (Hamilton's in SD). It was a "Imperial Chili Spiced Chocolate Milk Coffee Porter w/ Vanilla Bean". I had it on cask the other day and while I thought there was going to be so much going on that...

So today I was trying to do a wit and the LHBS I use was out of rice hulls. Anyway my gf has a horse and says they have huge bails of rice hulls there.. so we went and 6cuft of rice hulls was $10. I took as much as I could conceive needing in the near term and she took the rest to the horse...

Just started playing with a camp chef, morebeer, burner I got a month ago. Read a lot of threads about messing around with the air shutter, and what people are describing doesn't really match at all what I'm seeing... talking about blue with yellow tips.. I've just got pretty much a...

So, I'm on batch 13 in my homebrewing hobby, and I've starting to see a pattern here (which may not be the case) when using williams extracts. Specifically I've done 3 batches with their Marris Otter extract, and 1 with their German Gold.. they seem to be the only ones with the first anymore...

Thinking about getting a doppelbock going to put on my oktoberfest yeast cake and the recipe I've looked at so far (Jamils) is 10.4lb Munich extract, 3lb Pilsner extract. Normally I do a partial mash to get munich incorporated, but isn't going to cut it this time. So, high gravity brews.com...

Anyone tried this? I just got my sanyo 4912 and a temp controller, so thought I'd try out my first lager, and since I was at morebeer anyway i got lazy and added the mini mash oktoberfest kit to the cart.. this is my first kit from them. Plan on going to the LHBS for WLP833 since seems like...

So, Started making a 2L triple from a single vial of WLP550 for a triple. According to the pitching rate charts, this really isn't enough (BCS- says this is a 3 vial batch). What i haven't seen spelled out is why when I see all the advice on stepping up yeast starter, why the larger volumes...

As a San Diegan, I've found there's two kinds of IPA, II IPA, and III IPA's... ones i like vs one's i don't :D :D I'm suspicous that the latter are loaded with a particular style of hops that I don't like. I like: Alpine Pure Hoppiness/Exponential Hoppiness, Duet Pliny the Elder / Younger...

So, I brewed a pumpkin* spice ale last month that did not go so well.1.050 starting gravity. The problem is, as that is batch #5, i'm still changing a lot of things each batch trying to get my process down. I think batch #6 went a lot better, but haven't bottled yet :) Variables this time...
