I want to make a cream ale with the addition of a can of Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000GGHWY/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 This is the exact brand I will use. It's a 7oz can, which is about 75% peppers and the rest is the Adobo sauce. The peppers are...

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to use some cheaper starch sources in the mash as an adjunct. I'm thinking instant potatoe powder as an easy starch source. Also, has anyone ever tried to use CARROTS in the mash? Recently, I cooked some carrots in butter (saute), and the carrots...

Okay, so I know this sounds a bit crazy, but here's the idea: My son came home from school with a package of Black Garlic (from a science presentation for his class). If you are unfamiliar, here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_garlic_(food) I have not tasted the stuff yet...

I've been toying with the idea of producing a really heavy beer, with the OG in the neighborhood of 1.090 - 1.100, and then diluting it down about 50% with boiled, cooled water. I have no real desire to DRINK anything above 6%ABV, but it would be nice to get 10 gallons out of a 5 gallon batch...

Alright, so everyone saw that episode of Brewmasters where they made the *****'s Brew.. I have been musing about replicating this. I have some mead working, just a little 2L batch for fun. It has been going for almost 6 weeks now and still won't stop bubbling... anyway, I digress. I want...

I've been using this online app: http://www.beerlabelizer.com/ It's pretty nice for easy label creation (Thanks Andy, whoever you are!), but I've used just about every option and now I'm getting bored with the templates. Does anyone know of another label creator similar to this? I'm too...

Okay, so I was feeling like an experiment.. here's what I did. I brewed the Fat Squirrel clone, partial mash (high OG around 1.080)... fermented it out on Safale-05 in about 10 days at 60-63F. Transfered to a secondary and let it sit for a week. NO activity in the airlock, I mean DEAD...

I was wondering if anyone ever re-uses screw-cap bottles, like liquor bottles, for bottle-conditioning beer. I want to put some beer in a square Jagermeister bottle. It's a 5th (750mL ?), and the cap is a screw-cap. It does have a little bit of a rubber coating on the inside of the cap...

I know.. I know.. why in the world would someone want to dilute a nice heavy beer. Well, I DO want to, so lets not debate the whys and what-not. I went overkill on this last beer (fat squirrel clone). I'm kinda new to the all-grain thing, and I am doing basically partial-mash on my...

First of all, this is my first post here. I've been reading this forum for a few months now. I have to say that the amount of information here is unbelievable, and with the Wiki, I haven't had any need to ever ask a question.. it's all here already. Thank you! Now, I've made about 5...
