Looking for some beer recipes I can brew that are 10+ abv. I really like beers kind of like Prairie's Bomb!. Is there a good recipe database to go to for something like this?

Does that mean dishwasher past. Isn't an option, then?

So, my OG was 1.070. Will let it ferment dry, then add 5 12 oz cans of concentrate and 12 oz brown sugar caramel. Not sure how much this will affect the gravity, but I was kind of hoping that since I'm using safale-04, it's going to poop out after carbonating, because of the ABV being produced...

So does this recipe call for pasteurization then? I know it's a dumb question, but I had to substitute Nottingham for safale-04 and I'm not sure what kind of gravity you're looking at after you add the 5 cans of concentrate and caramel dulce. Don't want bottle bombs. Followed the recipe with 2...

Sounds like a plan. Forgot about that method. But still, it would be nice if we knew the correct gravity for bottle carbing. It'd take out a lot of guess work.

As the title says, I'm curious as to what the best gravity post-back sweetening is for carving to prevent bottle bombs. I just ask because I'm doing a Dave's Carmel Apple Cider and the recipe is somewhat unclear on this.

Unfortunately, I don't.

So, I dropped the ball, and I haven't started the recipe for a buddy that comes back Dec. 20th. I want a good beer, but I'd like to make it seasonal, too. I normally do stouts and higher ABV beers, so I don't know how fast the turnaround is on a lower ABV beer. And even though I posted this in...

I'm trying to find a good dark beer to make and age for a while. I have a buddy in the Army, and I want to have some around for when he retires. I really like the thickness and full bodied flavor of Milk stouts, but I know that the lactose sugar used to create that mouthfeel will turn sour over...

Wow, I'm sorry. I didn't even see that.

I'd like to do a few of the recipes that we have listed here on Homebrew, but I don't know where to get the supplies. I don't have a brew store that's close enough to consider that option logically, and the site that I'm using doesn't seem like the best option.

Bump

Also, swing top, not flip top. Sorry.

This is probably not the right area for this, but I couldn't find a thread made for general discussion not involving beer (the aftershave IS alcohol based, though ;D). I wanted to know how often these growlers break. I wouldn't worry about it for a beer, but I am putting some Pinaud Clubman Bay...

No way in hell I'd drink it, but it contains alcohol now. Soooo yeah, you can get drunk if there's enough there. Nice passport
