Hate to bump this, but I'm planning on grabbing the ingredients tomorrow if I can.

I'm hoping I can get some feedback on an extract recipe I'm putting together for an American Barleywine. Here's what I have so far: 3 lbs. Amber LME 8 lbs. Light DME at 15 min. 8 oz. Crystal 40L 3 oz. Chocolate Malt 2 oz. Cascade @ 60 min. 1 oz. Centennial @ 30 min. 1 oz. Wilamette @...

I spent hours pouring over this thread and others like it getting ideas and now I'm proud to finally be able to post my own rig that I've been putting together the last few months. I just finished getting everything running and I brewed my first AG batch on it Sunday, an Irish Dry Stout...

Do you know what efficiency the recipe was calculated at and what you usually get on your system?

I got an awesome deal on a CL refrigerator that I'm converting into a kegerator. It has a few little dents and scratches on it that I'd like to cover up since it's going in the house. I'm looking for some creative ideas that you guys have used. I plan on doing some sort of chalkboard for the...

I try to get a 5 gallon batch brewed about every 2 to 3 weeks. Like a lot of people half my beer goes to family & friends, so depending on my drinking habits I'd say I have ~50-60 bottles at any time.
