Ya I thought about doing the bonesnip ale (i know I spelt that wrong but its in the link) unrolled I looked up up some of the parts and saw they were poisonous. Made the raidator gin look top shelf. Gambit

Ok im going to look into the Kentucky common but I'm going to try the small ale first. I have a feeling it won't taste as good as my other brews but now I'm curious. I'll start it Monday after I bottle the scotch ale. Gambit

I know that's whats making it hard. I was hoping to find a full strength ale but no luck. I did find quite a few small ale recipes. I assume that would most likely be the rations to the troops. Gambit

Revvy I found this as well. Read the second post. Civil War Beer Recipe - Homebrewing - BeerAdvocate It has a bulk recipe and some peoples interpratations. The grains are just listed as malt but I dont know malt. Gambit

It calls for a quart of maple syrup, a tablespoon of spruce extract, and four gallons of water. I also found similar recipe that said to add a half cup of hops. Now please correct me if I"m wrong but wouldnt that be a really weak beer? I'm thinking Less then 3% abv. I Plan on trying to make...

Thunderpanda, Only the one bottle in the pic was done in plastic...the other 15 or so were done in glass. That one i poured out but the rest dont have that ring so im assuming theyre ok. Gambit

It was some sort of wine yeast. So to fix it I just slowly take off each cap and then recap? I assume I don't need any more sugar? Gambit

Ya I tried to pasturise a few bottles today and the top shot off one... Boy was the missus mad to see cider dripping from the ceiling. I got a few I put in the fridge. I'll have to try one tonight

Thanks ill look into that. What sticky is that under? I saw that ring around the bottle and Girs little scared. Gambit

I bottled my first batch of cider a few weeks ago. Today I grabbed the one Plastic bottle i used and its all deformed and has a ring around the inside above the liquid. I dont see this ring in any of the glass bottles. I did drink one about a week after bottling with no ill effects so i assume...

Tasting good is an understatement. It might be the best I've had. I can see getting burned out on it after a few pints though. Gambit

My favorite glass is my Martin pint glass. Got it with some strings last Xmas. I might get the rocker glass gift set this year

Brewed a Christmas spice ale. I had planned to wait till at least thanksgiving to give it a taste but I didnt have the willpower to do it. Last night I cracked the first bottle. Let me say this is probably the best beer ive made this far. From the glass your nose is hit with the oh so yummy...

I'm thinking either a red or a brown ale, probably a brown with the colors the grains put out. Id like something with a hint of chocolate and caramel, but I also feel there should be a 3rd flavor as well. Gambit

I guess this would be a partial mash. I'm gonna try this as a 2 gallon test batch. I'm thinking a pound and a half of light dme and a half pound of honey for the base, and chocolate wheat and crystal 80 for grains. I'm thinking I need a 3rd flavor, but I dont know if i should add honey malt into...

canijun im in the downriver area, not sure if im in lincoln park or southgate, depends on the map program. I dont have a airlock to watch, im using a mr beer keg sense this is my first try and i dont wanna waste 5 gallons if i screw up. Gambit

i pitched yesterday afternoon. I read later that i was supposed to wait. I suppose ill wait till friday, and if i dont see any action then ill repitch. thanks gambit

Im made my first cider today. Followed a recipe but missed the part about waiting 24 hours to pitch yeast after the campden tab. I'm sure this has been covered before, did I kill my yeast or is my fermentation just gonna be slow to start? Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse I'm usually a beer...

Indeed adventures is where I go. As far as I know its the only store in the area. As for butchers I like cattlemans on goddard and telegraph Gambit

I'm not to far from there im in the southgate/wyandotte/Lincoln park area. A river rat lol
