Glad it worked out for you.

Another winner BM. I just poured the first pint from a batch I brewed about a month ago. Tastes great for breakfast. This recipe now has a place alongside your Octoberfast in my annual brew schedule. Thanks again

A very good beer. True to style while still being able to consume several in a sitting.

Thanks for the input. I went ahead and pushed brewday till sunday to give me time to sour a little mash.

I've used in sparingly in a raspberry wheat. No ill effects, but a little goes a long way.

I typically use 5.2 Buffer in all my beers. I was going with BierMunchers recipe, which calls for .25 lbs in a 10 gallon batch. This beer is being given away to a guy that supplied me with about 2 bushels of hops last fall. I typically force carb, but this will be bottle conditioned. I...

Brewing a Guiness style stout tomorrow, but couldn't come up with any acid malt. Any substitutions???

Just let it thaw. RDWHAHB. No big deal, I've had cornies freeze @ pond hockey games many times.

Dissasemble and clean up your existing faucet to stop that leak. If it has seen use previously, chances are it's full of crap anyway, and you don't want that to end up in your pint.

I tend to lean towards bigger beers, so to me it looks fine @ 1060 - 1070 OG. If you really want to make it a smaller beer, but can't adjust your grain bill, you could always add a little top off water ala extract brewers till you hit the marks your after.

Taste diffence would be minimal in my opinion. I like to add @ flameout so as to insure there are no nasties on the zest that could infect the brew.

Willamette and Cascade work great together. I would pitch US-56 (s-05) or any "california ale" yeast.

Agreed!.... jppostKW..... I would ditch the black patent, go with .5 lbs of Chocolate and a 1 lb of light chocolate. I would start with .75 lbs of crystal 120. Again, I am only going off of my own experiences, not specifically with the Left Hand. Your gravities will only change a...

Looks like you missing the compression ring for your compression fitting.

JMHO, I would back off of the crystal 80 a little and not go overboard on the black patent. Too much black patent gets you into Stout territory, while too much crystal can overpower the smoke flavor. Go to 120L if you need the color. Marris otter is a good suggestion, but I ( personally...

I have never had the Smoked Porter from Left Hand, but I have had Stone and Alaska's versions. I would go with your regular extract recipe for a porter and add 1-2 lbs smoked malt depending on the intensity you prefer. You could always use liquid smoke, but that stuff has a terrible...

When a beer is chilled for drinking, these proteins partially precipitate forming a haze. As the beer warms up, the proteins re-dissolve. Only by rapid chilling from near-boiling to room temperature will the Cold Break proteins permanently precipitate and not cause Chill Haze. Chill haze is...

Pliny The Elder Pelican Pub's IPA Laughing Dog IPA

Pelican Pub, Pacific City Oregon. Overpriced for sure, but every beer they make is very good. I especially like their belgian's and the Doryman's Dark Ale. When combined with fresh seafood from the dory boats, their beers can't be beat. I like it so much we actually bought an RV lot...
