Monkey Blood is not a failure! I need to drink some more of it before I really break down, but it is very drinkable (read: not the disaster I was afraid of). The 5 other people that have tasted it liked it. It is super unique. Tastes a lot like the brand I used that is unique to begin with...

Southern Tier Choklat is the chocolate-iest beer I've ever had and it is 11% Anyone have any insight into their process?

I just transferred my "Bolivian Monkey Blood" (working title) last night. The sample tasted pretty good. Had most of what I was looking for. I know it still has some work to do so I don't want to judge too much right now. I am happy with it at this stage. I think I got the proportions right...

Update? Just had a Harvest for the first time and loved it. This is probably a n00b question, but any chance I can pull this off with extract? Also, like mentioned, Harvest is pretty sweet. The ones I had were barrel aged though so there were some dynamics there I'd like to try to mimic. It...

Here are a couple pics of my french press process. https://picasaweb.google.com/109877904733314797147/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCNn6iL_opIKHDg#5597452302231364850 https://picasaweb.google.com/109877904733314797147/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCNn6iL_opIKHDg#5597452525515645538

I did it. It has been in primary since Monday night. Yeast is kicking. Really disappointed I forgot to take a sample. So I don't have the OG and I didn't get a taste. Oh well. I used a pretty decent amount of of Yerba Mate. Almost a half gallon of strained tea. I'll keep you guys posted.

You were saying?

Cool. Thanks again. Think I can get away with my 6lb jug?

Thanks for the help. Does it have to be pure Munich LME? I ca't find that anywhere. I 6lbs of Northern Brewer Munich, but that is 50/50 Munich/Pale.

Has anyone converted this to extract? reddskinnfan, for one Skins fan to another, a little help?

This sounds like you are pitching yeast out of the tube along with a starter. Doesn't the starter take the place of the tube yeast?

Good tips Denny. Must common way to mess up Yerba Mate is to boil the water. I don't think putting the leaves and stems in would do anything beneficial. They get "spent" fairly quickly. Better to use them to make a concentrate and dump it in. Denny convinced me to add to primary. If it...

Alpine Nelson is a MUST try if you like IPAs.

I'm trying a version of this next week. I am going to put the yerba in a French Coffee Press to make a "tea" out of it, and I am going to use a Nugget Nectar clone for it, and a yerba with orange peels. Besides those decisions I have no idea what I'm going to do. I'm either going to add the...

Leaf or Pellet?

Thanks for the update. Did you stick to the original post, or tweak it?

How did this turn out?

Thanks for the help guys. I'll have a backup recipe ready in case they don't have Munich.

I know my shop won't have all the hops listed in my recipe, but they have a chart there to convert hops, so I'm not worried about that part. Not sure on Boil Volume. Suppose to make 5 gallons. Do you mean how much of that is boiled? We usually boil 3 gallons and add two after cooling the...

I've been helping a couple friends brew about 3- batches and now I'm up to brew myself. I found a recipe I want to us, but it is all grain. We do extract with steeping. I've scouring the interwebs trying to get a conversion. I found some formulas, but they all seem to lose me at some point...
