subscribed. One day I will have my own.

I like wheat beers so I would be tempted to do that. I also don't know why no one does a pumpkin pils. I think you would get maximum pumpkin taste in the beer.

On my first BIAB i used a thin paint strainer bag and when I heated my mash it scorched the bag. When I lifted the bag at the end of the mash it burst and all the grain went into the kettle. My brew day got a little longer but I made beer. I am now very careful since I had my wife make me a...

It's never too late to secondary. I have thought about making this beer. But I would use apricot extract and add before bottling. That way I could bottle the non-apricot beers first and then add extract to taste and bottle the rest.

Miller distributors are not as bad as AB/Inbev. Small breweries can self distribute in most states. So if it sells it will get to market.

I sanitize in my dishwasher before bottling so that is fine. I would be concerned that the Star San foam may fill up your kitchen. Try it and post pictures. HAHA.

I am fermenting with WLP300 and racked onto an existing yeast cake. I had some concerns but no blow off. This is 2 brews in a row with that yeast and have had very controlled fermentation. Who knows.

Will be brewing my first all-grain today. Wish me luck.

I think you did pretty good. Squeezing the bag is good thing. Mash temp control is going to take some sort of insulation and practice. You will have a brown ale when fermentation is complete so mission accomplished. If you were worried about overshooting the post-boil gravity you could...

After a week of scrolling through this thread I am ready to make a keezer. My brain is bursting with ideas. Every kegerator large and small has inspired me. I have a Admiral freezer that is about to get a total makeover. Who has the best deals on kegs, lines, faucets and such? What makes...

Made a Dunkelweizen that is bubbling away. This was my last partial mash.....all-grain from here on out.

I had the Karbach wheat a few weeks ago while there on buisness. It was solid.

Brewing an English Brown with some oats added. Also using my harvested yeast.

Black Butte Porter, Boston Lager, and Wasach Pumpkin

That is terrible. You used to have a cool brew shed. Is it bad that I am jelous of your smashed brew house?

Just got back from Vegas a few weeks ago. We loved The Pub at Monte Carlo. Great selection cool place and good location because we stayed at Aria. It is all the way in the back of the resort by the shops.

I used pumpkin pie filling. I also added spices at the end of the boil and some brown sugar to up the alcohol content. I may later regret all the spice additions but this is my 5th brew and the only one that I drank the entire OG sample and wanted more. Cannot wait until October!

I have gotten really into experimenting with new beer so my intake has gone up. Pre-2011 I consumed a 12 pack a month. In 2011 I am averaging a 12 pack a week. I am also building up my bottle supply so I drink pry-offs when I can.

I thought the Summer Ale was good. But I am not a Sam Adams drinker normally.

Well done. I like the height that you get from the 10" collar.
