    Something like Founders Imperial Stout?

    I haven't had Founders Imperial Stout since last year, so I'm having a hard time remembering exactly what it tastes like, but I'm looking for a recipe for something similar. Does anyone know of any Imperial Stout recipes that are simlar in profile to Founders Imperial stout? It doesn't have...

    No bittering hops?

    Having seen the emails from Bells floating around that say Hopslam only uses late addition hops, I decided on a whim to try out that idea in my latest IPA. Has anyone else ever tried this? How did it turn out? Here is the recipe I brewed last weekend (it's also my first all grain using DB's...

    Probable Infection (pics)

    So I'm making a peach wheat and I forgot to peel the peaches, and when I opened up the primary there was a dry white crust on top with evidence of what looked to be pellicle like bubbles. I transfered to secondary anyways just in case it was mold or something more harmless, and below is a...

    Commercial Single Hop Beers

    Okay, so I'm drinking my first few homebrews and I'm starting to think about how to tweak my recipes, and I think the hardest thing for me at this point is to figure out what each hop variety brings to a beer. I know about Bell's Two Hearted and Founder's Centennial, but are there any other...

    My First Rant

    Unfortunately, I am 0% druck at this time, but I decided to post this here because it is my favorite area of HBT. Before I start complaining I would like to make a few things clear: 1) This is probably my favorite website on the internet. The help that you guys provide is great, and whether...

    '08 Stone Old Guardian

    Should I get this beer? I found a local store that has two 22 oz. bottles. As far as I know it's been sitting on the shelf for two years. I'm pretty sure they have fluorescent lights but I wasn't sure how UV resistant brown bottles actually are. They also have last years RIS, the 09-09-09, and...

    Question on Belgian styles and general commercial discourse...

    I am new to homebrewing and also to most styles of beer. A brief beer background which may or may not be relevant to this question: I am 22 years old. I had my first beer at 12:30 on my 21st birthday. It was a Stella. For the next six months, almost every single beer I had was a New Holland...

    So I went on a little beer field trip last night...

    I bought 3 singles of eight different beers to 'research' which types of beer I like. I go to New Holland Brewery often so I've tried all of their mainstays and most of their seasonals, but I haven't tried too many beers from other breweries. I tried to stick to styles I haven't had before, so...
