Thinking about brewing this beer on Friday, can't seem to find any Crystal 10 though. I do however have some Caramalt extract from Morgan's, and I've heard it's similar to Crystal 10. Think I can use that instead?

Bottled my small batch this Tuesday after more than two months in the fermenter. Had a bottle a couple of days ago and it was pretty good. Definitely gonna make this again.

Damn, I was going to make this tomorrow but my starter (made from the sediments from a bottle) hasn't grown enough and the LHBS is closed. Might have to postpone it a few days.

*Fermented my beer while the ambient temperature was at 82 degrees. *Forgot to sanitize a bunch of stuff. *Fermented my beer in plastic buckets that had some scratches on the inside. *Added some Isinglass to my beer because I thought I would have time to bottle it before I left to spend a...

So... If I keep on smoking I won't get a beer belly? Works for me.

Nope. The hops have to be boiled to release bitterness.

I think their beer is pretty good. So far I've had Winter Lager, Boston Lager, Boston Ale, Octoberfest and Honey Porter. Octoberfest and Winter Lager are on sale now, I might pick some up if I can find it next time I buy beer.

I'm thinking about making this for next christmas, but I can't find the coffee you're talking about, so I'll have to use regular coffee and add spices separately. Do you know what spices they use?

Djævlebryg - Mystikale (might have changed now though), Old Mephisto, Nekron, Son of Nekron and Pride of Nekron.

Nope, use malt extract instead. You might want to add some more hops and steeping grains to balance it as well. Edit: I suppose a little sugar wouldn't hurt, but I don't think you want to use as much as is needed for the alcohol to rise to 7-9%.

Brasserie Dieu du ciel! - Corne du diable

Don't forget: his penis was chopped off and put in a jar.

Yep, that should be pretty easy to do. Get a template, then add the beer name and maybe some shadow in another layer. Download GIMP (the best free graphics editor I know of), do some tutorials and play around a little.

Don't like it? Fine, don't buy it then, and quit whining about it. Sure, it is ten times more expensive than the beer it's made of (Paradox), but then again, it probably takes at least four bottles worth of Paradox to make one bottle of TNP, it's been oak aged for a longer time and the freeze...

I got a 10 liter pot from my mom. I already have a 5 liter pot, so I'll start doing split boils soon. I also got some money, so I'll probably buy some other brewing gear next week.

I'll probably do a tiny extract batch during the holidays to relieve some boredom. Then I'll buy some more equipment and switch to AG in early January. We don't have much snow around though. People's lawns are still more green than white.

This sounds pretty cool. I'm planning on brewing a simple pale ale with some light DME, crystal malt, cascade and possibly some amarillo (depends on how much cascade I have in my freezer). Maybe I should add some orange zest and coriander and see how it turns out.

Try wait a few days and take another sample. You might want to give the carboy a gentle shake as well. The same thing actually happened to me recently. The OG should have been over 1.080, but the first reading was only 1.050. A couple of days and some stirring later, it was 1.070. Close enough...

Bottled today. I had a sample and it tasted great. I used 1.25 lbs of chocolate malt and it really had a big impact on the beer. Lots of chocolate, almost as much as a chocolate stout. The bourbon was there as well. Didn't really notice any vanilla, but I suppose I will in a few weeks.

Heh, I don't plan to. My girlfriend's mom is a Bosnian farmer's daughter. I usually don't cook anything more complicated than pasta carbonara. Nuff said.
