So my last batch of beer (an ale) was split between my Mr. Beer fermenter and a 5 gal bucket. I controlled the temp of the bucket with the old tub of water and ice bottle method but I couldn't think of a way to do the same with the Mr. Beer so it got no temp control. However it would be really...

Sometimes when I don't think anyone is around I'll pretend I'm Spiderman.

Well do ya?

Title and poll says it all.

Link My sister sent this to me. Pretty interesting. A lot of beers I've never had. I'm a little annoyed that Sam Adams is representing the USA but I can't think of a better one. At least it's not Budweiser.

So it looks like there are quite a few smokers on here so I have a couple questions. I've grilled ribs before and I always use a rub but I have never marinated them. I don't know why; I usually marinade most cuts of meat. Is there any reason not to? I'm planning on marinading in...

So this is the first time I've done anything to keep my temps down while fermenting. I'm using a cooler with frozen water bottles. The really vigerous fermentation is done. Is the yeast still going to produce off flavors at this point if I let it get up to room temperature (mid 70s) for the...

Well I'm about 15 minutes into my first partial mash, AHB Noble Pils kit. My wife is asleep with the flu and none of my friends care so I'm expressing my excitement to all of you. Yay!!!:ban:

Well this Saturday I'm going to be having lunch and beers at one of the Goose Island brewpubs. http://www.gooseisland.com/pages/clybourn_brewpub/65.php Anything I should definitely try? I've only had the honkers ale and and IPA whose name I don't remember. I know I'll try the Smoked Goose...

I think I have an idea of what a cream ale is but I'm not certain. What are the best commercial examples of cream ales? Thanks

Am I too late to get the hops planted this year? I'm not expecting a harvest, but it would be nice to let them grow and spread their roots out so I can get a harvest next year. I live in Iowa, right now its hot and very humid and it will be that way the rest of the summer. Would I be better...

http://www.sanctuarypub.com/home.html They have a pretty nice variety of beers. What would you recommend I try. I'll probably have a few pints.

Mods: The reason I'm asking on the forums is because I'm sure there are other people who would be curious as well. I wasn't sure which forum this would fit best in so feel free to move it if it should go elsewhere. Forrest, I was wondering where you get your clone recipes? Did you and your...

So what craft beer should i try next while I wait for my current batch to condition? (I hope I can get a decent pipeline going soon) Here's the deal though, I live in Iowa and due to our stupid beer laws it's hard to get a lot of the beers I read about here so the have to be on this list Any...

So I'm interested in taking baby steps into kegging. Bottling is such a pain in the ass (although it is getting better as I'm getting more organized). What is the minimum I would need? Obviously a keg, CO2 tank, picnic tap, hoses to connect everything, and something to keep it cold (I'm...

So I have a 5 gallon bucket and a 2 and change gallon Mr. Beer fermenter. I'm going to do a 5 gallon kit and split it between these two. My question is after the krauzen has fallen can I add the beer from the Mr. Beer to the 5 gallon bucket without worrying about it foaming back up and...

So I have some homebrew in a 2 liter bottle. I was planning on taking it to a super bowl party today. Turns out that a bunch of people fell through at the lat minute and at most there will be 4 of us there, more likely just the 2 of us :( How quickly will that 2 liter go flat? I'm not too...

For anyone not drinking cream stout...you should be.

I'm going to brew up 6 mini batches of beer each with just light malt extract and a single hop. I don't really know what individual hops do to my beer. I've seen sites that describe certain hops but I can't really relate the descriptions to my beer drinking experience so I'm gonna find out...
