Not yet. I did find one on Hopville.com that looks promising.

Good Morning All: I'm looking for a Pumpkin Porter extract recipe. Preferrably without any actual pumpkin. I've searched all over and haven't much luck. Thanks.

Thanks again Amanda. So I think that I'll let if hang out for a week or two and then check the FG's again. Hopfully it'll finish up.

Thanks Amanda. This is the first time I've ever had this happen. We pitched a 1 liter starter and it fermented like a champ, but no activity for over a week or so. I usually try to do serial FG's to make sure it's done fermenting, but it's been a crazy week. It has a month to sit in the...

We brewed the Denny's Rye Smile Rye IPA two weeks ago. I checked the OG after brewing and it was perfect at 1.078. We racked it to the secondary yesterday and the FG was 1.031. Does that seem right to everyone. It works out to 6.5-6.5 %ABV which seems ok, but I just want to make sure. I'm...

Good morning brewers: I'm looking for some help with dialing in my TSS2 with my new fermentation chamber freezer. I had a 17.5 cubic foot freezer that died last week. I was able to maintain temps with ice packs and frozen water bottles until I bought the new one last night. I bought a 7 cu ft...

I usually pour my cooled wort into one of my 6.5 gallon buckets with enough cold water to top up to 5 gallons. Then I pour it back and forth between my other sanitized 6.5 gallon buckets about 4-5 times. That seems to aerate it well. Then I pitch my starter and seal it up. So far, so good with...

The Northern Brewer Black IPA was my last brew. Very good beer. I currently have a bottle of Hop in the Dark sitting in my fridge, waiting. But I have recently tried Ink Heart CDA from Laurelwood Brewing in Oregon. The NB Black IPA was very similar to the Ink Heart. I've also had Dark Rain from...

UPDATE: I decided to start the starter today so if the yeast is no good, I'll still have time to grab another smack pack prior to brew day on Sunday. After all that worry,the inner packet was still intact. I cut that packet and poured it into the starter after I pitched the yeast. Next...

Thanks guys, I was just a little worried. We plan on brewing Sunday. I was going to start the starter on Friday. Should I start it sooner? Can I refrgierate it until I need it if I complete the starter early? Thanks again.

Good afternoon all: UPS just dropped off my package of a NB Denny's Wry Smile Rye IPA. Everything was ok until I opened the envelope with my yeast. It's the Wyeast 1450 Denny's Favorite 50 strain. The smack pack is already swollen. This is the first time that I ordered a smack pack. It was...

Good idea. That will be on my next order. I'm gonna stick with the picnic faucets for now. I'm pretty sure that it will be no problem to install taps on my fridge door though. Any ideas on taps?

I did the same thing. I bought two O-Ring replacement kits. Hopefully as spares, but we will see when the kegs arrive. Thanks.

Good afternoon everyone. I'm working on buying a double keg system with the dual output regulator from Midwest Supply. This will be my first keg and attempt at kegging. What else should I buy? I'll put my list of ideas below. Please feel free to add or change anything. Double Ball Lock Keg...

I use a brew pad http://www.midwestsupplies.com/home-brew-heat-panel.html and I built one of these http://www.brewstands.com/fermentation-heater.html

I did the NB extract kit. Awesome results. I'm thinking a Rye PA next.

Any idea if a piece of plastic window screen mesh work? I'm thinking about cutting out a circle of this and using a zip tie to attach it to my Auto-Siphon. I have a roll of this sitting in the garage.

Awesome. My Black IPA is friggin awesome. All of my friends are loving it. My Dad is taking a six pack to Nantucket to visit some friends and fellow beer lovers. I want to try to brew a few different beers this summer, but I can't shake the CDA idea. I love this beer style. I might make one and...

The Black IPA was ready last night. I've been waiting two months for this moment. Good carbonation. The pour was OK. Not much of a head. Not a huge deal. It looks and smells fantastic. Nice hop aroma. The taste is outstanding. Hoppy up front. Nice malt backbone. Hoppy finish. No off alcohol or...

My Black IPA was the Northern Brewer kit so no smoked malt. I do have a few CDA / Black IPA recipes that I'm going to try. One of them will include the smoked malt. I'm going to swirl the bottle to rouse the yeast tonight and then into the fridge on Sunday. I can't wait to try it. :rockin:
