    Anheuser-Busch InBev Acquires Northern Brewer & Midwest Supplies

    2 years of having to issue refunds for their beer is not a sign of declining quality?

    American Amber Ale Mojave Red

    Thanks for the suggestion, I might give that a try on a 3gal batch when I redo this. But you are right, it is nice and malty which i like. I just want a tinge more hop flavor :) It did taste a little better last night. I think it just needs a little time.

    American Amber Ale Mojave Red

    Tasted this last night for the first time and its good, but seems to be missing something. Its much darker than the pics on the first page, and I can't taste any of the hop flavor. I'm considering adding some hops to the keg.... Not real sure where I went wrong, but most likely its the mash. I...

    Iodine for Starch/Sugar test

    You might check out a local fish store. I get iodine from mine (for my reef tank), and we can't even buy sudafed without a prescription here due to meth.

    All Grain brew pot advise

    I also bought a turkey friar setup, then picked up a 32qt aluminum tamale steamer for my boil kettle. You can't beat $25 bucks and it really works well. I use the turkey friar as my HLT :)

    My plan for all grain on the cheap

    I bought my 8gal aluminum boil kettle off amazon for $25 shipped, so i would bet you can find something to that effect but slightly more expensive. Its made to be a tamale steamer but works great as a BK. Have you thought about going the electric route? A water heater element isn't very...

    American Amber Ale Mojave Red

    I brewed this up over the weekend and it sure looks and smells tasty! I also went with Saaz instead of Sterling. And I increased the grain bill a bit to account for my lower efficiency. I hit 72% this time around so not too bad. 9lbs 2 row 10oz of 40L, 60L, 80L 5oz Melanoidin 3.5oz Carafa II...

    Autumn Amber Ale

    I've brewed this as well, it was my 3rd or 4th brew. My fermentation temps were a bit high and as a result it got some ester flavors in it. So I packed it in the back of my brew closet for a year, and after that the ester flavors had subsided and its a pretty good amber. But like captwalt...

    Cold crash

    Once I know fermentation is done, i just bring the temp down to the mid 30s for a few days.

    Pliny the Elder recipe questions

    Mine was delicious from the first pint out of the keg right after it carbed. I added the final dry hop additions to the keg in a muslin bag. I am hoping to brew this again soon...

    Simcoe

    Yah Simcoe is trademarked and only grown by authorized growers. I cleaned my town out of Simcoe last month when i brewed up the Pliny the Elder clone. Man that is one good brew. I am planning to use the rest of the simcoe i have on hand in another IPA they are so good.

    Munich Fest Marzen Lager - First Attempt

    I brewed up a Marzen a few months ago, my first lager, and underpitched the yeast as well. It took 4 days to start up, so be patient :)

    Finally Figured out why my IPA was getting stronger...

    I went thru that too. I moved the temp probe in my kegerator to fit a fermenter in there for cold crash and sure enough it froze the entire thing. Also froze the contents of 1 keg afterward until I could get it back in line.

    cold crash & dry hop

    Do both! Dry hop while you cold crash, then do another dry hop in the keg.
