Maybe you're not a fan of Tallgrass because it's brewed in Manhattan and you're from Lawrence. You are probably naturally biased. :)

Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat...simply fantastic.

Not a big fan of pumpkin ales either

So true. I'm went to Kansas State and we're supposed to have a good team this year but I'm sure i'll be disappointed at some point. Maybe I should start brewing a strong IPA to be ready by late November.

Football season is right around the corner and I was curious what you guys bring to the tailgate? Also, do you guys bring your beer in a growler or bring a keg setup?

Just picked up the ingredients for this. Going to brew later in the week after I free up a carboy.

I make 5 gallon batches so I'll need something larger for the boil. I plan on retiring my old turkey pot for something a little fancier. I'd like to stay under $150 if possible. Thanks for your suggestions.

Just throw them in the freezer until trash day comes.

I just brewed this 9 days ago. My OG was 1.046 and now i'm at 1.007. It tastes great already. I guess it's normal to get a gravity reading of 1.007 with this beer???

I've read some reviews of this beer online and many people are saying that it doesn't have much of a taste. If I wanted to add a little more hop flavor or citrus flavor are there any hops that I should replace from the original grain bill? I'm justing looking for something to boost this...

Thanks for your help guys! This is only my 4th batch and I'm still learning the lingo. What am I going to do with all the DME now, haha. You'd think the home brew store would have been able to determine the right grain bill considering they were reading it out of this book.

I'm brewing a "Brooklyn Pennant Ale 55" clone and I can't figure out the recipe instructions. The recipe is built for as an extract but if you look at the bottom it explains how to do the all grain method. I went to the home brew store and he sold me every item on the recipe list but I don't...

I'd just wait till the weather got a little better. It's not going to hurt the beer to sit in the primary longer.

Why in the world would you want to do this?

UPDATE ON THE BEER..... I finally got to bottling the beer last Monday and I chilled my first bottle tonight to see what it tastes like. Even though it was still flat which I expected it has a great flavor. I can't wait to see what it tasted like in a couple weeks when it's fully carbed...
