10 in the fridge, one in the belly, one in the glass, and 6 gallons of a Celebration Ale clone in primary. Bring on the holidays. :mug:

I just brewed a saison on Saturday and pitched WLP670. I cooled it down to 64F and kept it there until it formed about 1.5" of krausen. I then moved it into my house to let it warm itself up. It's been going gangbusters but I noticed that the temp is now up to 76-77F. White labs recommends...

A NM brewery, Santa Fe Brewing Company, has invited homebrewers to hang out with them and brew a 10 gallon batch. The batch will then be put on tap at two locations (5 gal at each location). I am scheduled to brew with them on 3/24 and am having trouble picking a recipe so I'd like your...

Other than "It's the end of the world as we know it," what songs would you play at an end of the world party? :tank:

Hi there. The wife and I are heading to Long Beach, CA for a wedding reception. Anyone have recommendations for good beer bars or breweries in or around Long Beach? Thanks! :mug:

I was super excited when I got the results. My Black IPA took Best of Show and my English Mild took third place Best of Show! :rockin:

I am going in on a group bulk grain order. I've already decided on some Golden Promise (since I have Marris Otter and have never used GP). I want to buy a bag of Pilsner malt but am torn as to which one would be best. I have brewed one lager and want to keep a good Pilsner on rotation...

I made a SMaSH IPA. I used Colorado grown 2-row malt for the base and locally grown Cascade hops. I used Randy Mosher's method to try creating Crystal-like malt from the two row. I did a single infusion mash and used S-04 yeast to do the hard work. Fermentation went well. I dry hopped in...

For my 501st post, I have to do a little bragging (which is something I typically do not do). Last night we had another excellent homebrew club meeting. In addition to many fine NM brewers, we had a few big names at the club. Stan Hieronymous, author of Brew Like a Monk and many other good...

I'm going to do my first SMaSH in about a month. Our homebrew club is coordinating a bunch of different beers all brewed with locally grown Cascade hops. Based on a few people's experience with these hops (including my experience on a Pale Ale) they are somewhere around 4-4.5% AA. I'm going...

I'm sure 99.9% of members on this forum were already aware, but today is the anniversary of the day that prohibition was repealed. http://www.repealday.org/ Raise a pint or a highball! I apologize if this has already been covered in a hundred threads... :mug:

I'm in Durango, CO for the next day or so. Any recommended beer stores I should hit up before I head back south? I would like to try magic hat, jolly pumpkin, or any other beers I can't get in New Mexico. I appreciate any input!

One of our hometown brewers and a fellow Dukes of Ale member is going national! He won one of the three slots in the Sam Adams Longshot comp this year with his American Barleywine. He's a great guy and a great brewer! I'll definitely buy the longshot 6-pack this year. Ben was also on the...

I've never had a gruit before, and certainly never tried to brew one. However, I am planning to brew one this coming Friday. I have a few yeasts in the fridge and I am leaning towards Wyeast 1968. Any compelling reasons not to use that yeast? Another option would be WLP568, Saison blend...

Any NM folks going to the Marble Septemberfest? Sounds like most of the NM breweries will be there. http://marblebrewery.com/

I'm planning to brew an all Cascade Pale Ale tomorrow morning, using hops picked from the local hop farm last Saturday, and wanted input on the grain bill. I've heard that too complex of a grain bill can muddy up the flavors. Here's what I'm thinking: 5.5 gallon recipe with 65%...

Went down to a local hop farm and I picked 2.2 pounds of fresh Cascades off the bines. It smelled AMAZING! My hands are still sticky with hop oils. I also bought 12 ounces of super fresh hop pellets, I believe they were pelletized last week. The pellets smell heavenly. The whole lot cost...

Sweet, I'm second to start a thread in the new section! I am planning to brew a Classic American Pilsner in the near future and I picked up some Wyeast 2007. I'm curious how many people have used it and liked it. Also, any tips for this strain? Good temperatures, bad temperatures, time for...
