I love you and don't even know you.

I have fat tire extract clone recipe from stomp them grapes and I'm looking for the recipe. I lost it somehow. I have already busted the slap pack and stomp them grapes is closed on mondays. Please help.

I have a vial of San Francisco lager yeast that is 1 year out of date. I decided to make a starter for it about 12 hours ago and it is not bubbling yet. This is my first attempt at doing a starter is there any way of telling if the yeast is dead or is it to early to tell?

I have access to two pony kegs and two regular kegs. I was wandering what you all use to cut the top out of the kegs?

Some recipes call for both liquid and dme can you just use one or the other?

I'm in Frankfort Ky. That is at his price. I'm not sure how much they are if someone just comes in and wants a barrel. They have a lot of barrel though and I don't think they reuse them. I think the are about to roll out there 6 millionth barrel shortly and this guys dad who is in his 90's...

yes he can get me as many barrels as I want for 18 dollars each. Each barrel is about 50 gallons and I think it is made of white oak.

Bourbon is made right in my hometown. I know a guy that works at one of the facilities and he can get me a good clean used bourbon barrel. He wants me to make a batch of homebrew using one of these barrels for our leadership graduation. Has anyone ever used a bourbon barrel for fermentation...

To late. I just added the leaf hops with 15 minutes to go and added the hallertau hops the last 5 minutes, hope this is right.

I bought a sam adams clone and the recipe says to add hallertau hops the last 15 minutes of the boil. I upgraded the kit to leaf hops and they sent me both hallertau hops and saaz leaf hops. Do I add one or both of these hops? Please help fast!!!!

madweezel The space is 20x26 feet. The only thing I have in the room is a bathroom in the corner that is 7' by 7'. So the space where I was going to put the bar was a 13' wall with plumbing roughed in, for a sink, midway. The bar was going to have a backbar on that 13' wall.

I went to an auction where a bar was going out of business and picked up a brass perlick tower with 4 nozzles. Now I have to figure out how to build a bar to screw the tower to and have the hide the kegerator below and still have access to changing out kegs. Right now I have a upright fridge...

I do not have have a refrigerater to dedicate to lagering at this time. I really like Sam Adams, Sam Adams black lager and Blackened voodoo. Is it possible to create these beers using a ale yeast and if so what yeast? Also recipes would be great.
