I mean only Mikael Åkerfeldt can pull that off:cross:

I am in the middle of brewing my "Black Metal Wheat" and during the mash my grain bag seemed to have gotten stuck to the bottle of my brew pot and burned a hole in it about the size of a dime. I'm still going to finish everything up as normal and ferment it. It should turn out fine, maybe the...

To those of your who knew or didn't know me, I am back to brewing. I took a good 6 month break because I moved to a new place, and the university started up again, to which I found myself quite broke. During the move I lost some of my brewing equipment so I decided to grab a burner and a 8...

I personally (when I have nothing going on) like to drink some homebrew and watch the show intervention and sit there and laugh about how ridiculous these drug addicts/alcoholics are. I mean it is kinda sad but you kind of have to say "Where did i go wrong where i drink 30 beers a day" I mean I...

I am trying to replicate one of my PM recipes to AG and I was wondering what is in amber DME? Any ideas?

I was terribly hung over from a night of drinking your apelwein. I was dragging ass at work and still feel pretty ****ty. Jesus christ that **** sneaks up on you! I'm sure theres a bunch of other people that have gotten rocked on that. I have been hitting up advil all day. you bastard! BTW...

I recently just started cold crashing and it has made my beers so much better than not. I know a hefeweizen is supposed to have a lot of yeast, but they are gunna drop anyways when I keg it. What are your guys thoughts on this?

I just got my kegerator going 4 days ago and kegged my nut brown and the SWMBO Slayer and im already out of the nut brown! It was a damn good beer! My friends and family had quite a bit and loved every drop, how long does your beer last??? I still have 3/4 of the Belgian Blonde =)

I was just messing around in beersmith and i decided to make a summer ale recipe. Summer is coming soon so it seems quite appropriate. I am looking for something very malty, a tad sweet, and just a good a beer to drink for these hot summer days. Here is what i came up with. I'm not exactly sure...

Ok well my first two brews were a dunkelweizen and a hefeweizen and they have been in the bottle for a week, and i decided i would try one of each to see how they are doing. I believe that already they are over carbinated, because they are foaming up quite a bit. Should i toss them all in the...

Well, this is my 3rd brew, 3rd partial mash and I missed my OG by quite a bit. The OG was supposed to be around 1.060 and i hit 1.040 =(. I used death brewers partial mash technique, and here is the recipe. This was a partial mash version of SWMBO Slayer. I played with the recipe a bit in...

I just bottled my first batch and I was wondering a good way to clean the 6.5 glass carboy? The kausen ring seems to be tough to clean. My brush cant seem to get to it because its a tad bit higher than my brush can reach. Are there any techniques that you guys use?

Hey, I have a quick question about racking my first beer. My first brew was a dunkelweizen (PM) and it is a week into the primary. I am going to let it sit another 2 weeks before I rack, but i do have a quick question. There are a few chunks of hops (which somehow managed to make it past the...

This has to be one of my favorite beers. I just brewed up a dunkel weiss but I was wondering if anyone knew of a clone for the hopf dunkel weiss. This beers seems a little bit more sour tasting than a regular dunkelweiss. Let me know your thoughts.

Well i brewed my second brew today (a hefe) and i realized that my carboy cap didnt fit my carboy! What should i do? Right now I have it sitting in the fermentation fridge with saran wrap. I have not pitched the yeast yet. Should i grab some tinfoil (santize) and pitch the yeast or wait till...

hey I have a quick questions. I have a fridge/ranco controller set up. Would it be a good idea to tap the temperature probe to the glass carboy to get a more accurate temp reading, or should i just leave it suspended in the fridge? Any answers would be greatly appreciated.:mug:

Well I finally made the plunge into the world of homebrewing. Today was my first brew day. I brewed deathbrewers PM dunkelweizen. It went relatively smooth although I'm sure i did a few things wrong. I nailed the mash temps and everything but I do have a few questions. I live in southern...

I figured I'd try to see if i could find some metalheads in here brewing beer. I mean there is nothing more brutal then brewing the good stuff. I figure after a while I should try and brew some metal beers, aka the Black Metal Lager. Lets see how many of you guys are around. :rockin:
