I might have to look into that. I haven't seen it at my local brew shop but if I ask the owner he will order it. If he can get it for me I'll brew another batch (after my IPA) and give an update. I appreciate the feedback!

HillSbrew79 I like the idea but I'm trying to get the flavor of the Baileys and Jameson. I want it to taste like you're drinking an Irish car bomb without taking the bomb. It's pretty damn close but I need to do some more tinkering. Damn looks like I need to brew more beer.

The sugar was just to boost ABV. I'm a case in and I haven't had any carb issues with this batch and I haven't had any carb issues in the other 2. I'd love to get this in all grain but like I said before I unfortunately don't have the equipment at the time...insert sad face

Does that work for you? My ABV is off on this file, I got 8.2 on my phone app.

I got a little frisky this batch (I've brewed it 2 times) and added 4ish shots of Baileys on the most recent batch when I was bottling and used 4 vanilla beans. I have everyone who tries it asking for more (this is the only stout my girlfriend will drink and she wants me to make it all the...

I just added LME and as the wort heats up all these clumps keep showing up. Does anyone know what's wrong with it? Before I added the LME I steeped 1 pound of 2-row and .5 pound of crystal 40

Make some 1 gallon batches and see how that goes

I am planning on moving it to a secondary with strawberries for an additional week or 2. I'm fairly new to brewing so I am learning as I go.

I made a pale ale roughly a week ago and I noticed clumps developing on the top and sides. I used DME so I am thinking I didn't boil the wort long enough. Is it messed up or do i have a chance to save it?

I have an Irish car bomb stout in my fermenter and I am planning on adding jamenson and vanilla beans after 2 weeks when I go into secondary. I was thinking of adding an oz or 2 of oak chips in the secondary then racking into another carboy after a week and letting it sit for an additional week...
