Just wondering if anyone has come across one... I'm not even sure which category it would be under, if there is one

Widmer Brothers W'11 KGB Russian imperial stout... It's the closest thing i found to Bells expedition stout but less than half the price. Two thumbs up, especially for the price.

Also, if you pop the bottle cap off with a lighter, you can launch the cap 20 feet in the air (at least)... no kidding... For some reason it is very entertaining for me.

I just racked the red star montachet 3 gallon batch... It went really dry. It looked like it went from 1.066 to .960 It also looked like it was still a little active. I wasn't planning on a 14% cider but I guess I'll see how it turns out. I threw 6 tablespoons of stevia in it and 1/2 teaspoon...

I'm sorry being the A-hole that bumps his thread but I'm really curious about racking/bottling with whiskey. I know it probably will turn out like crap but I'm willing to sacrifice a few bottles for an experiment. Does anyone know how much sugar is in whiskey? I've had people tell me "no" don't...

I live in Minnesota and can find quite a few different surly beers... The guy, Omar who started it is pretty cool. He's really personable on brewery tours and will usually have an open Q&A with people. I usually get their coffee bender... New to the site and not sure how people ship beers but...

So, I don't if I would actually try this. Does anyone know if whiskey has sugar that would reactivate yeast? Someone just explained a Johnny jump up as a drink for alcoholics who like to mix booze with booze... Uhhhhh, I'm still interested

I'm a new member to the site so I've spent more time on my phone than on the website. It'd be worth getting, it's free. There are some beer brewing video apps but I wasn't too interested. I don't think that recipe had whiskey? Although I've only had it as a bar drink, it's been whiskey and cider.

I looked on this site but I've been using the iPhone app, so it's a little harder searching recipes. By the way, I love that there's an iPhone app... the only one in the app store. I thought it sounded interesting. I'm pretty new at this and there are so many different things I want to try... It...

I didn't see a recipe for it but I didn't dig too deep. If anyone knows a link, could you post it? I have a 3 gallon batch of cider fermenting and want to split it up and try some things. I was thinking about what Jameson would do in a secondary fermentor. Has anyone tried it?

I searched Iphone apps for "homebrewing" ... So far, I love the site

I just checked the label of my "Brewers Best" flavoring... It doesn't have any ingredients listed. I gave it a taste and the apple flavor did not ferment out, it's actually pretty good... I'll probably add a bit more stevia. As I said, I'm new at this... It seems like it's taking more sweetener...

I never thought of the flavoring re-activating the yeast. It makes perfect sense. I think I will let it ferment dry again, then add the flavor at bottling. I just need to watch my gravity, as I'm adding carbonation tablets. Has anyone tried the Cooper carbonation tablets? I'm going for a sweet...

I am brand new to making hard cider. I have my first gallon batch in a secondary fermentor right now. I added stevia and flavor concentrate for secondary fermentor. Planning on carbonating with Cooper tablets (I've read good reviews) Right when I racked my first batch, I started my second...
