Brewing in the heat of a Texas summer, on lighter beers have gotten an almost bubble gum flavor before. I attribute it to high fermentation temps. Since i don't have the space for a ferm chamber, my last few batches i've done the swamp cooler thing and but my carboy in about an inch of water...

I would have to say my favorite home brew that i've done to date was a version of the Darth Vader IPA https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/darth-vader-black-ipa-218904/ I wanted to make it alittle differnet so used 80L crystal and .75# of special roast instead of only a half pound. I also...

If i had had it on hand, 1792 would probably have been my bourbon of choice for the beer. It is an excellent bouron that is mildly sweet and very smooth.

Well, right before I decided to brew this beer, I started drinking a variety of bourbons. I started by drinking old fashioneds, but that was too much work, so i was just drinking bourbon on the rocks. I was just going to the liquor store and picking up a bottle of whatever looked good at the...

I have this beer on tap right now. It comes out nearly black. I ended up with about a 7.4% abv before i added in 300 mL of Buffalo Trace bourbon. When i figured it up, that game out to roughtly 1/4 of a shot of bourbon per pint. It is a great beer and i have had several people give rave...

Thats really a ****ty thing to say. Coming from a guy whose dog almost died from injesting hops. Considering it is a public park, there are people in the world that aren't brewers and that don't know that hops are toxic to dogs. Most dont' even know what a hop is, let alone what it looks like...

Yeah, hops are deadly, even spent hops in tiny amounts. Thats what happened with me. My dog got into maybe less than half an oz. and a few hours later noticed him drinking alot of water, panting very heavily and just looking uncomfortable. We took him to the emergency vet, he had a skyrocket...

I've got a 2 year old English Bulldog and he is anything but lazy. But he is one of the most hard headed dogs i've ever known. He's not a big farter, but he snorts alot. We haven't had many health issues with him other than a few hot spots. He did get into some hops a while back and almost...

No, i honestly don't know. I don't think they are prone to touch the plants, but I wouldn't take the risk. The hops mine got into were spent, and sitting on top of a bucket of grains, which i beleive was his real target as the hops, for the most part, were all pushed to the side. Just shows...

Hello to everyone. I just wanted to post this as a source of information to all brewers. I have been brewing for about a year and half now. My friend decided that he wanted to grow hops and had told me that he couldn't put them in the back yard because they were toxic to dogs. Until...

This will definitely be my next brew. I really wanted to do an Oktoberfest style beer this year but i don't have a way to lager, so this will be great. I'm just pissed my busy ass schedule (and this damned Texas heat) have kept me from brewing much this summer.

I've had this recipie on tap for about 3 weeks now. It has become my new favorite brew. I played with the recipie a little using Magnum hops for my bittering and the hop aroma really comes out in the head. It has a nice roasty upfront flavor and a suprisingly light mouthfeel, but it is nicely...

This must be a popular brew in Texas! It was my second AG batch in the hot Houston sun. No less the day after attending the complete and utter failure that was the Houston Beer Fest. But i'm proud to report my batch is fermenting away. I'm hoping to have a short turnaround on this one.

I usually do not have my first beer (homebrew) with the intention of getting drunk. Usually. However, because they taste so damned good, i usually will have another, and another, and many times I do find myself pretty drunk. Other times i have one or two beers with dinner and that is it. Craft...

I know the name is Two dogs and I only have one on the lablel. I'm working on it, but for now, i'll say its supposed to be ironic.
