I brewed up a batch of the wheat stout based on Torchiest idea. No problem right? Just simple extract recipe right? Yeah.... come brewday, I lay out my ingredients..oops I had converted to a partial mash and only had 5 of the 7.5 lbs of wheat extract needed to do an extract..I passed on the...

he must be incredibly busy if he won't accept a trade of homebrew for artwork......I pay my designer in beer, I give him 6ers on deposit, then a 6er from each batch. I also trade him photography work.... got something to barter, he'll do some work for you... he designed this...

just beautiful stuff, I love line art and his work is great..

well I guess it's a template right now because I haven't given the particulars to my designer... brewery name....ABV, and whatever useless info I want to include..... I'll have him "uncover" the text and see how it looks.. thanks for the feedback folks..

I'm looking to use this as a template for my batch in bottles feedback would be greatly appreciated

That sounds like a great idea. I'm gonna do it. A WLP300 first then a WLP 013

Thanks Orfy I followed your epic 3 batches in a day post..inspirational Tell that invisible cat I said hello. last time I saw him was that mushroom trip in '91

Hey I se you're in Oaktown also... What got me curious about mixing was the White Labs poster that I picked up from Oak Barrel. They are selling a limited release mix of WLP001, 002, 004, and 810. I was hoping with the mixing to get a little of the banana/clove character into the stout..

I'm fairly new to brewing, but doing PM's and having good success... My idea (I aready have the malts and hops for the recipe) is to mix perhaps 25% WLP300 with 75% of WLP013 and work your wheat stout from there. What are the possible downfalls of mixing 2 yeast strains that are that...

[If you mean maltier then you need a wort that isn't as fermentable which means mashing at a higher temp and maybe adding adjuncts to give more body like cara malts and maltodextrin. You use a standard base malt.] I use Beersmith to work my recipes... I batch sparge in a 5 gallon gott with a...

no replies yet..... looks like you're a pioneer here I cook with dried szechuans a lot, and have disappointed with the commercial "chile" beers I've tried.. Let me know when you get around to tasting, what you're getting for flavor and heat..(too bad there's no way to make a beer with the...

I love big malty beers, not the high alcohol sweet ones, but the range of a Newcastle, or a Bier De Garde style. I want to create a recipe hat would give me a Newcastle on steroids, but without a lot of sweetness. There used to be a craft brew lcoal to NoCal that was a "5 malt ale", just...

nice bent, too bad Vision went out of business. I got a '98 VR40

there you go!! I've done it(pad printing), and it's a snap. You can easily use the same logo, but with a simple "color change" on the press you can have different color caps, like Anchor....usually the cost gets cheaper by the quantity you have done. Buy a gross of caps or more and have them all...

Hey Spamdog... To print on something as small as a bottle cap, the way to go is pad printing. Thats how they print keychains, pens, etc....

I did a partial mash for my last brew using the technique from this page on BYO http://***********/feature/986.html. I liked the way the process worked for me and will continue to use it as a transition to AG. I adapted the technique to the gear I had on hand, and this worked great except for...

from my most recent experience....shake that carboy up a few times a day...

I've never used dry yeast except fo my first ever batch. I did a 5 gallon batch, then 2 one gallon batches with full yeast package pitch. This one is a 5 and waaaaay more active then even both of the one gallon batches..

I did my first mash and sparge on Sunday. I think it was a single infusion process. The smell in the house was incredible...I always seem to be able to smell brewing beer even during the day after..... sparging the water over the grain, the whiole process was an great experience. In pitching...
