Hi all. I have been on this site a long time now but have seldom used it over the past couple years. Done several brews since I last posted and am proud to say I am now brewing beer that I consider really good stuff. Bit of background, my buddy and I have been brewing for the past...

Thank you for responding. I should have chosen my words more carefully there, I meant to say something along the lines of should it be added at the sixty minute mark. I understand how to read hop times and I know what first wort hopping is, I wasn't looking at the hop schedule and reading it...

I am a bit confused about the first hop addition, It says it is a first wort addition, but it also says added 60 min into the boil. Is it supposed to be added before the boil a la first wort, or is it supposed to be added sixty minutes in?

I'll be trying this recipe soon and post some questions, looks great!

Rogue beer is overpriced. It's that simple. It is undeniably good beer, and 10 a 6 isn't that bad. That is what I (living in Illinois) pay for most craft 6's, between 10-12. the problem is rogue is probably 14 a 6 and it isn't any better than bell's, founder's, or a lot of the other craft...

excellent brew, flavors to scream winter to me.

listened to candlemass last brew and it went swimmingly. perfect brewing music. doom metal when brewing, classic rock and folk when bottling

i vote for crazy. a lot of non beer drinkers will say the exact same beer tastes good or bad at different times. or they will pick a brand they like and if you recommend them a very similar beer they will taste it once and say its crap. i think maybe it was better with the food, but more she...

welcome. i've been wanting to visit austin for a long time now seems like a really cool city

well even if it doesn't work the name is too damn good not to try

Cool story. I am college age myself and plan to take our latest homebrew to the homebrewers club once the secondary fermentation is done. anyway, I am friends with a few people that are twenty + years older than me and have hobbies and interests that people never really expect as well

If you can make any style better than any commercial brewery then you should have no problem finding investors to start your own brewery. I expect you to be a millionaire inside of a year if you are the king of every single style of beer. Not only do a not believe you can make better than...

Beerkrump, I am pretty sure the area is labelled bourbon country because one, as I am sure you know there is a ton of whiskey distilling there, and if you look at the map there are very few breweries in that area. So that is the person who drew the map's little joke/explanation of why there are...

We bottled this this past weekend. taste is great, but way too light. that would be my fault for using one can of the liquid. what i think i'm going to is do it again for my next brew, use the liquid again, then add a bit of dry as well. maybe three pounds? that would be 3.3 of liquid, three...

run a few cups of sanitizer through the spigot. if desired, rinse the spig with boiled water afterward. any bacteria should be killed unless i'm missing something?

Makes sense, thanks for the tip

yeah hopefully we haven't over tightened. we've only bottled one batch thus far and no visible stripping so i'll keep my hopes up.

Ok thanks. No gravity reading. we attempted to, but this was or first time using a hydrometer and apparently we didn't put it deep enough because it hit the bottom of the bucket. since the fermentation is only a week i'll let you know what the gravity of the fermented wort is.

We did this this weekend, but now, looking back at the recipe I see it says dme. For some reason I didn't pay any attention to that meaning, duh, dry malt extract, so I used a wheat extract syrup. Will this cause a significant difference in the end result, and if so, what sort of difference?

i paid three bucks for a spigot drilled a hole in the bucket and put the spigot in the hole.The flow was fine too until it got clogged with hops. I plan to remedy this situation by putting an angled screen in the bottling bucket. I bottling the beer rather than kegging it so i had a bottle...
