2 days later and slightly carbed, disgusting. Dumping this batch. Guess I should have remembered it sooner.

A long overdue update about this beer. Bottom line is I forgot about it. It has been sitting in it's primary fermentor tucked away in a corner of my basement for almost 4 months now. I would think about it at various times and say"I've got to get that into a keg" and then forget about it for...

Got it done. I was able to get my boil in this morning before he woke up at 8. I knew taking the time to chill it would be pushing it so I put the lid on with about 5 minutes left in the boil then just shut the burner off when it was done. I put a fan blowing on it all day. I just put the...

Bump. I would like to know if you ever brewed this and how it turned out. My wife is on a gluten free kick right now so she won't drink beer. She loves IPA's, but doesn't really drink wine or liquor so my best chance of getting her a little sauced up is to brew her a good gluten free IPA

Must be me, but I just didn't like it at all. Going to give away the last 4 from my 6 pack. And I never give away beer I paid for.

I had high hopes for a 11.9% iipa that sold for $13/six pack. I'm disappointed.

edit-title should have said brew day, not brewery. Damn auto-correct My wife gave birth to our first son on Jan 6th. Right after I received my new catalyst fermentor and dark star2 burner in the mail. Raising a newborn has been tougher and more time consuming then I expected, and since...

I've got a newborn at home, I needed something strong. On my second Bigfoot of the night.

I'm a fan of dry hopping in secondary. I usually do 2 weeks in primary then rack to secondary. I use pellets in loosely tied muslin bags. I sterilize the bags by boiling them in the microwave for 10 minutes. Dry hop for 1 or 2 4 day cycles depending on the beer, then I keg or bottle. I know...

I had a 2015 bcbs Thanksgiving night and it was fantastic. I bought a case when they came out and mine all were bottled on oct 15, which wasn't one of the infected dates. I'd say check the date on your bottle and if it isn't an infected batch you should be good. Even if it is infected, I'd...

It just hit the shelves here in Albany. Got a 4 pack today and I'll probably pick up some more on Friday. With the Black Friday BCBS release this is going to be an expensive beer week.

DFH release chart shows a 2016 release of World Wide Stout happening this month. I haven't seen any bottles local yet. Does anyone know if/when this might come out? I tried a sample of the 2013 WWS a couple years ago and I'd like to grab a few bottles.

This beer definitely wasn't an IPA, but it turned out to be a fantastic pale ale. One of the better beers I've made.
