Two hearted ale is, in my opinion, the best american IPA out there. I miss it and its amazing taste. It had to be the first beer I'd try to make. I did a partial boil with about 3 gallons in the pot. 9# sorghum syrup 1oz centennial pellets @ 60 1oz centennial pellets @ 20 1oz...

Anyone tried to make one? I got the idea tonight and thought I'd see if anyone had gone there yet.

So I just bottled my first g/f beer tonight and man its still really really cloudy. It sat in primary for 2 weeks, secondary for about 10 days, I cold crashed it for 2 days, then added gelatin for another 2 days in the cold, let it sit for a couple hours before I racked it after moving the...

I'm getting back into brewing so hopefully new labels will be coming down the pipe soon, until then though here's the label I used for my old rasputin clone.

One of the things I've continually read since I started brewing is how plastic gets to be unsafe over time. Buckets need to be replaced, hoses get replaced even more frequently. Before the carboy crisis you'd have thought the better bottle was pure evil, now it seems like most people love...

Has anyone ever tried boiling down a bit or sorghum syrup and water mix seperately before starting the main boil with hops? My next brew is supposed to be a porter and the lack of speciality grains make getting a good dark color and a nice roasty/toasty flavor a bit of a challenge. It sounds...

I haven't seen any threads like this yet. Anyone care to share their tested and approved gluten free recipes yet? I haven't gotten any batches in the bottle yet and I'd like to hear from some people that have brewed real winners. Also, whats the hardest style to brew gluten free versions...

I'm just getting back into brewing. Years ago I got my hands on a water report and everything was fairly moderate so I didn't worry much about it for brewing other than using a carbon filter. I left some bottle in oxyclean for about 3 hours yesterday though and they were all getting a...

So I live near st. louis and winter is certainly coming in. 40-45 degree days, 20-30 at night. I'm just getting back into brewing again and one beer that I miss is a good oktoberfest. I've never brewed a lager before, don't have a fridge or a controller, but I've got the indoors, the...

I was thinking about adding http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/brewing-equipment/bottling/bottles/2-liter-growler-romantic-handle.html to my christmas list, any reviews? edit: bottle conditioning in it too

I started brewing maybe 5 years ago. My first two kits were old kits from the local store, brewers best I think and bottled. I hated the taste and went to all grain. Soon after I went into kegging. Then I found out I couldn't drink barley anymore and quit brewing. There were still several...

Last week I started fermented an american ipa with s-05. It had an og of 1.071 and had 9 pounds of sorghum syrup and half a pound of sugar in the recipe. I'm debating feed the yeast another half pound of sugar this week to be sure it doesn't finish too high and sweet. Any thoughts on what I...

Its just a few days away, sale ads are floating around. Any one seen any hot deals on kegs or freezers?

I just got my first batch of g/f home brew in the bucket tonight. I decided to go for my two hearted ale clone first. Its amazing how much sorghum syrup tastes like the liquid from a barley mash. If you told me it was barley extract instead I would believe you. I sure missed the smell of...

So I've been reading and thinking about getting back into brewing and have come up with a few gluten free recipes to try to make beers of the styles I miss. I'd like a little feedback before I get started. I didn't fire up any full out recipe calculators so these are ballpark numbers...

A couple years ago I found out I had celiac disease and had to give up brewing and bread making. I considered researching gluten free brewing then but was just too beat down by the news and sold off my kegerator, all grain setup, oxygen, refractometer, coolers, etc. The only thing I kept were...
