So I wanted to make a recipe that had one of my homebrews in it, and I've really been enjoying this Wit I have on tap recently, so here is the orange chicken glaze that I ended up making. 1 1/2 cups Belgian Wit 1/4 cup lemon juice (~2 large lemons) 1/4 cup rice vinegar 2 1/2 tbsp soy...

So our supplier at work sent us a box of these hops. Says it is a cross between Savinjski Golding, Aurora and Slovenian wild hops between 5-6%AA, but our box says 2.8%AA. Of course I don't know what those others are like either. I've been thinking of bringing home a couple oz's and brewing a...

So I was inspired by this thread, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/dr-pepper-stout-135180/,to make a beer using Dr Pepper as part of the fermentables, and I was inspired by this thread, https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/20-lb-sugar-jar-yeast-nutrient-114837/, to make my own candy syrup. The...

Heath vs Skor, which is better, decide and discuss. I just had a side by side tasting, and I gotta go with Skor. Both go good with Stone 13th Anniversary.

Well guys and gals, due in large part to all the help that I have received here the past couple years, also an interview I heard on the Brewing Network and my wife's encouragement, I decided to go to brew school. I just finished the Concise Course in Brewing Technology at Siebel a couple weeks...

I've tried it before and it didn't work, but now I have two beers with FGs that are different enough to pour a very nice black and tan. I have an Imperial Porter with an FG of 1.018 and a Pale Ale with an FG of 1.013. The pale is a little darker in the photo because a little porter is...

I just got an email from the fine people at Hopsdirect, and my order is already getting shipped out. I expected to have to wait at least till the end of the month, but the confirmation email I got today, says they are getting shipped out now, so YIPEEEEEE!!!!:rockin::rockin:. Last year I...

It's been in the 80s for a few days (except today) and hasn't been below freezing for several weeks. Today I saw that my Willamette has grown up through the mulch, which means it's a good 6 inches already. My last season was cut really short, so hopefully I will have plenty of time to get a...

It's like Homer Simpson's dream some true! I will soon be starting a course at Siebel. I just got home from work and checked my e-mail, and found a message with my registration papers and links to order books. Looks like it's time to start studying again, but somehow I don't see it as being a...

Shattered glass all over the counter... damnit! Why do these ****ers break so damn easily. Bump them into any hard surface and it's like they're filled with explosives, they just shatter all over the place like a lightbulb. Don't these people know that we drink before handling those things...

I have been thinking about it, and talking about it for a couple years now. I have made labels, but all have been lacking a logo. Well, now I finally have a logo. It's my first shot at it, and it is likely to change, but here's the rough draft. I really think it will look nice around the...

Commercial Description: Stone Ruination IPA

Most of the crap that comes on new computers is a buch of junk. Trial programs that want you to buy the full version, programms that you would never purchase but you for some reason have them anyway. My new comp came with Microsoft Works, really... who the hell uses Works, just charge a couple...

Hey guys, one of the radio stations I work for is giving away these cool, solid brass guitar, promotional bottle openers. All you gotta do is tell us where to send it. We don't use your info for anything, sell it to anyone, or call you in the middle of the night breathing heavily into the...

I just had to share with everyone. I just got the results back from the second competition I have ever entered, I only sent in 1 beer, and it brought home the Gold.:rockin: Hopefully this beer will fare as well in the other comp I sent it off too, but I am stoked. Time to go crack one open...

:ban: This is my first gold medal beer, in my second competition. I have been working with this recipe in some form since I began brewing. It was originally extract, but no longer really resembles the Black Lager of the past. Hops used were only because I couldn't get anything German, but...

Smells like a mixture of dirty ballsack, vomit and a hint of mildew thrown in. I went to the LHBS a few days ago and got a batch of beer. As I was checking out, the gut says to me that they have a special going on, and I can get 2 packets of saflager for the price of one. I was going to use...

On a recent episode of Basic Brewing, they discussed different aeration methods and conducted some tests using a dissolved oxygen meter, and the results were very interesting. The tests were shaking, aquarium pump, aquarium pump w/ 2 micron airstone, high volume pump, and high volume pump w/...
