Ah right, I should have mentioned that. I got the data from beermapping.com. Users can add places under the categories breweries, beer bars, beer stores, homebrew stores, or brewpubs. Since it's all user-generated data, it's definitely not complete.

I made a map/visualization of beer places in the 50 states of the US, and considering the topic of HBT I thought some people here might get a kick out of it. Enjoy! :) Edit: I collected this data a few years ago from beermapping.com, which has a user-generated database, so this doesn't reflect...

When I made a blueberry ale I didn't strain anything, I was just careful not to syphon the blueberries or trub. I think all of my blueberries eventually fell to the bottom before I racked the beer.

I forgot to mention that I used US-05 for version 2.

I was inspired to try making a dark English mild after tasting Yards Brewing Company's Brawler. I didn't necessarily want to clone it, but I wanted something pretty similar. To that end, I settled on Mild Mannered Ale. I'm not a fan of strong roasty flavors, so I made two versions of the recipe...

I don't have a lot of lager experience, but on the few occasions I've done lagers I've noticed a big difference with a few extra weeks cold conditioning. The beer went from kind of bad to pretty good. That said, if you’re kegging the beer I guess you could cold condition it in the keg...

I've made this 3 times, and I'm carbing up my 4th batch now. If I recall, I usually went with 2.5 cups of ginger for a 2 gallon batch, and that was about right. This time I used slightly less than 4 cups for a 4 gallon batch, and I'm worried it will be a little weak. Regardless, this is great...

I second McGuire's. I had fun there on a business trip. Agreed that their brew wasn't special, but it was a nice place to have a good steak and a few drinks.

I think I'm averaging one 2.5 gallon batch every month or so. Sometimes more often, and sometimes I go through a 3 month dry spell.

In case you prefer to know this before I arrive for pick up: I'm also interested in some PBW, carapils, and melanoiden. I'm happy to help unload, but the soonest I could get to Takoma Park from Arlington after work on Fri would be 5pm. Let me know if you want me to come by then, but it sounds...

I might be too late for the current order, but I'd like to jump on the group-buy bandwagon! :) Please put me down for: 1 bag BZ-PILS 1 bag BD-PALE

I had a similar problem with a beer. It was kegged, so I poured half a gallon into a pot, added half a gallon of water, and boiled on my stove with another 1/4 ounces of hops. I haven't tried it after carbonating again, but the cold, flat sample was much improved.

Hey hey, I was just thinking about doing the same thing a few weeks ago! I haven't executed it yet, but I was planning something a little different. I wanted to keep the hops low and only use bittering hops so they won't interfere too much with the apple aroma and flavor. I was also thinking...

I brewed this one up, but only used 3068 instead of both yeasts. I was well pleased, and I'm planning to brew it again. Thanks for sharing!

Here's my entry!

I got busy, so I'm just now posting my results. My OG was 1.055 and FG was 1.017. During dry hopping, some of the hops got clogged in the next of my carboy, so I wonder how effective it was. My batch didn't have that sharpness I associate with pilsners, but I didn't check the AA of the hops, so...

I tried this one out. OG: 1.067. FG: 1.006. Starte on Jan 19, 2011 an bottled on Feb 10, 2011 with 6 oz light DME. I had a hard time measuring the ginger correctly, so that could be off. Overall, pretty close to the real Tremens, but the mouth feel in mine is a little thin, and the spice level...

Update on my batch: fermentation stopped at 1.020. Overall, this is WAY too sweet which masked everything else going on, but there was some banana/spiciness trying to break through. Color was too dark. During a side-by-side comparison with Leffe Blonde, this was clearly very different...

I just started this with a few adjustments: I scaled the recipe down to about 4 gallons since I was only using a total of 6.6 pounds of LME. I substituted 2 oz Saaz whole leaf and 1/4 oz Fuggles pellets since that's what I had on hand. I'm planning for 2 weeks in primary, then bottle...
