Many thanks for the recipe! 1.092 to 1.026 in 8 days. Had a hydrometer sample last night. Exactly what I was looking for -excellent! I think I'll move it to my bourbon barrel this weekend for about 3 months, then keg it up. I suspect it will be a little young, but quite drinkable at...

I've been to this place a few times. I am sure these are professional brewers that are intentionally brewing the beers to have more "mass appeal". Last time through I tried the IPA. Very bland. I understand their marketing strategy, I just don't enjoy it. It's too bad, because the food isn't...

I too love hops, but I always try to keep a cream ale on tap. Right now that space has a nice Helles, but I try to always keep something easy drinking on tap. I'm weird in many ways, but one is that I enjoy good brown ales. So you will almost always find a brown on one of the taps. Currently...

I agree with the raspberry wheat. I did one last year where I used extract at kegging time, which let me easily dial in the amount of raspberry I wanted. If you go this route, add no more than one ounce at a time so you don't over-do it. Also, be sure to use really high quality extract. I...

I have something very similar fermenting now with WLP099 Super High Gravity. It's taking time, but moving along. Was at 1.034 when I checked it at 2 weeks. The odd thing is that I made the same recipe last year, but with a different yeast. Do you think I recorded what yeast I used? Not a...

Try the Galaxy Brown from Rebel Brewer. Similar to Slobber, but different with the use of Galaxy hops. I can't decide which I like better. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

You could start with Green Flash Palate Wrecker. After that, everything else will seem tame. :) Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

Call the cops, that's what you pay them for. It's also documented then so if it escalates, they will have it recorded. Sent from my iPad using Home Brew

My son lives there. The Nook is always listed in the 100 best beer bars in the country. The beer selection is excellent. It's been a while since I've been there and it looks like the food menu has changed, but that was their weak point. The Stem & Stein in Madison is interesting. Way too...

Welcome! I'm in Hilliard myself. Been doing this over 3 years now. Give a shout if you want to have a beer. I've got a 12% or so barleywine I brewed last year that is great in this weather!

I'd worry more about the smoked malt than the bacon. I used 8 oz of that in a brown I made. It was like drinking a campfire -terrible.

I did a raspberry porter with 4.5 lbs of raspberries. It was delicious, but very raspberry. I would think if you want it to be more subtle, go for about half that.

Wow! Got my 10# filled about 3 months ago for $15. Not only that, they were having issues with the filler, so he swapped me with a just tested and filled bottle for no extra charge. Yeah, they're a bit out of the way for me, but good customer service brings me back.

Make sure you are getting a good seal on your caps. It won't take much of a leak to bleed off the CO2.

I think the bcs is one of those that needs to be put up for a while. By memory, the one I had was at least a year old, maybe two, and it was very good. It was a night of good beers, as I also had a 3 year old Dark Horse Barrel Aged Plead the Fifth, still my all-time favorite and an absolutely...

I can get get bells, sixpoint and founders. What do you want?

4 taps Shutdown IPA (brewed on Day 1 of the govt shutdown) Raspberry Porter Santa Spit Cream Ale

I was 27, ending my first job out of school. Learned more than I wanted to know about bankruptcy law. Playing with the first 2 kids, who were 2 and 6 months at the time.

Mine fit, but just. Sometimes it's actually harder to get them out, as the empties can freeze to the sidewalls. In retrospect, I would have built a taller collar, as I can't fit one on the hump. I did a 1x6 cedar collar, which looks great. It's all good though. My 10lb CO2 tank fits on the...

I was just texting with my son about this yesterday. I had just finished brewing a batch after hauling the stuff out of the basement, brewing on the patio, then cleaning and putting it all back. I have been holding off building an indoor electric brewery as I hope to retire in about 3 years and...
