Hey, The beer is still in the fermenter. I have been moving and have not had time to do brew work. I will be sure to give an update.

Welcome from South Denver!

Thinking imperial stout. May try to crank the ABV up to 15-20%. Still thinking about it though.

So looking to brew something kind of special only one time a year that takes a year to age. Think it would be cool to have something that I brew on an annual basis as a kind of annual tradition. I was thinking maybe a barley wine. Any ideas? Thank you

I found it down south at Lukas Liquors. They have a pretty good beer selection.

Hey, I tried a new beer today. It is called the Colorado Native. It is a Lager that is supposedly entirely made in Colorado with CO hops and grains. It is a Coors beer in disguise though. I would describe it as a lighter fat tire. It's pretty good, nothing real special though...

So it is getting hot outside and I am going to be keeping my carboys in a house that is not air conditioned this year. I don't really care to go through building a temp control chamber this year but I still want to keep brewing. I am sure this probably has been talked about but what styles and...

Ok yeah I will make sure to get them into pots this weekend. Thanks

Hey, Made a starter on Thursday for the wild yeast. Brewed the beer and went to pitch the yeast. It had a kind of Belgium beer smell to it. It is fermenting away today. Gave the airlock a whiff and smelled kind of like nail polish remover. Does that mean I need to lower the temperature...

Thanks for the tips Barc. I put a sterile lid on it and moved it to the fridge. Any tips on what to brew? I was thinks something really basic with pale malt and maybe a little Halletreu hops.

Sorry no pics yet. I was out of town for the weekend. So it really looks like I have yeast in there now since there is a krausen. I am not brewing until this coming friday though. I closed the window. Should I put a lid on it and put it in the fridge or just leave it in the open air until I...

hmmmm looks like I caught something in the jar since it is bubbling. I am going to wait another week before I do anything with it since my carboys are all full. Think I could strain it with cheese cloth before it goes into a starter? I will try to take a pic of it later today.
