Went into the basement to check things out and saw this: I've never seen this before. I looked up close and I didn't see any solids in the "clumps". They're just bubbles in clusters. FYI. The two carboys are not the same batch. They're both stouts but a week apart. The one in...

A local brewery makes this at christmas time. It's an awesome beer! But it's like $50 a case (ouch). They were so nice to post the ingredients. http://www.troegs.com/beers_elf.htm Can somebody get me a recipe for a 5 gal batch? I would like an extract w/ grain recipe and an AG one to...
