Oui, mon capitain!

Cheers all. As semi-expected, it did turn out more golden/amber than desired but it's still very much a beer and it's very drinkable.

You'll find that I'm incredibly inpatient. :v All seriousness, it's been going since the second week in July, so it'll finish at around 6~ weeks in total. I just racked it and a black IPA that I brewed that same day to secondaries earlier today, and the color was quite pilsner-ish during the...

Cheers all. We'll see what inevitably comes out of the tap in about 3-4 weeks, and provided it doesn't taste like dish soap, I'll still drink it regardless of what it looks like. :rock:

Bog standard 60 minute full boil, added at around 190F just prior to boiling.

The Mid-State Fair (Paso Robles) is back on this year & they always have a rowdy homebrew competition: Home Brew Competition Is Now Accepting Entries! | California Mid-State Fair

Never made a pilsner in my 12 years of brewing, but I'm almost positive that I received pale or amber LME instead of pilsner seeing as this current batch is more of a muddy ale color. Curious if this qualifies as some other form of dark lager/bock/prison hooch at this rate? (Higher temp due to...

Sipping my first glass after 3 1/2 weeks since brew day and holy shazbot, this is a beautiful brew! Carared provides ample sweetness & body while the combo of Amarillo & Cascade give heaps of bitterness to back up the Mosaic hops up front and makes you realize that, "hey, this is a Stone beer!"...

Sublimely Self-Righteous clone (partial mash)

Alright, ya'll convinced me to come back for this one. |-)

@TxBrew :v

Anyone? :(

Soooo...I just recently moved into a new place with my 2 year old kitty, and this kitty is ridiculously curious about my brew equipment. The only thing about my new place is that there is literally one spot that she can't get into, and that's a closet/storage room/water heater area where I...

So my first legit brew-question in the last year: I have a dual-tap kegerator with a ball-joint connection and a Corny keg connection (so I can run either type of keg). Up to this point, when it comes to cleaning the lines (which is a ridiculous amount of work), I've been wondering if there's...

Yep, blowoffs are your best bet if ambient temps are on the high side (or if you have a high gravity brew). Only had one batch (barleywine) where I had to use one, but I was sooooo glad that I did. Sucker would've made a proper car bomb if I hadn't attached it.

Hi Austin. Just nagging issues stemming from a back injury back in my EMT days. Seemed to crop up with a vengeance over the last year, but finally settling down.

Was I missed? Didn't think so. :/ Even if you're (more than likely) not interested, back issues have sidelined my brew line for the past year or so. Hoping to get back into it soon...gotta get my investment out of HBT as much as I can. Good to be back. :mug:

I've always used a 7.5 gallon as my primary...never had a need for a blowoff, but if you have a smaller sized fermenter, I'd definitely recommend it. This recipe had some massive krausen going on.
