please add me, thanks. Love this site.

I kept the carbonation low on this one. Just left it at 9lbs. for the week, and I have to say it is delicious. I was worried it would be too sweet, but it is spot on. Very balanced, with some toffee notes, and a toastiness Medium light mouthfeel, nice nose, malty with a touch of fruitiness. Very...

Brewed this a couple weeks ago with some ingredients I had hanging around. Any thoughts on style or possible tasting notes? Any clue what pressure I should keg this one at? 1kg Maris Otter 0.46kg Vienna 0.45kg Amber 0.28kg Carapils 0.23kg Crystal 120 mashed at 68.5*C for 60 minutes in...

I am assuming you are talking about the kits that have the wort already prepared in a bag, and you have had to place in fermentation vessel, and add the yeast? My progression went from a 2 liter pop bottle kit I received as a gift, to Coopers canned kits, to playing with hops and steeping...

Thanks for this. My wife brought me some of this last week while visiting the US. As I live in Canada we cant get SN beers here, and I love the APA, and have been looking to clone this by doing a partial extract. After reading everything here I think I have the recipe I am going to try. Just...

I make this argument alot, and I'm usually flamed for it...but here I am doing it again. People do some creative accounting to justify their brewing. They obsess over saving $2-3 on a pound of hops, but figure that the 6 hours they spent brewing is somehow "free". I'm all for saving...

great info guys my last four beers have been lagers. I am only drinking one right now, but it turned out so well I have three on the go now. I used S-23 for two of them and Octoberfest from WL. I havent tasted the beers done with the WL Octoberfest yeast(one is still in fermentation)yet so I...

Yup. On tap I have "Twin Peaks" Amber Lager and "Mandingo" Dark Ale. I bottled these and created the labels for Christmas girts.
