Hey guys, I need a STAND OUT AG recipe for the upcoming holidays. I'm thinking of making a spiced ale, but if anyone has any other ideas I'll listen to everything. I'd like for it to be a heavy beer (since the quicker I can get inebriated the easier it is to deal with family). Thanks...

Ok so use the star san in a spary bottle on evrything i need, spray a liberal coating and it will start foaming? i guess i should just go play with some stuff

Hey yall Ive decided to change from iodphor to stan san and need a little avdice about that and some other things... I know the mix is 1 gallon to 1 oz for 5 gallons worth of foam. Since its no rise, should i use a gallon of wort to get it going or use a gallon of water then dump it then...

Sorry if this has already been posted i jumped from page 3 - 19...... I live in the home of Alamo Draft House, quite possibly the biggest dive of all full serve theatres. Every HP release they have a HP Feast with food themed from the movie. They sell a butter beer that is slap your momma...

Lone Star with a pinch of salt.... but its a state jail felony to see it outside texas... or atleast they would have you believe... Big commercial beer would be the high life baby

If you have a latin american market near you, you should be able to find it.... it makes pretty good mole. hmmm a sweet potato pie beer..... collard greens, fried chicken... ill be doing that in a couple months

The man always finds a way to stick his nose in. I had the ATF show up on my doorstep for buying sugar my apiary - my registered apiary. Apparently buying 4k pounds of sugar is just cause for a search warrant..... ive never heard of a bakery being raided for buying sugar, they could be...

Try a Texas Blonde LME and throw in an ounce of lemon grass the last 5 minutes. Its like a stepped up corona, not to hoppy and medium body. My mom likes it, but she also swears by Arbor Mist:confused:

So no using oxiclean then rinsing to clean the fruit and no letting it sit in sanitizer... bummer. Are Iodine tablets off limits too? Curious because I'm going to be making a peach ale in a few weeks.

The darker the honey the stronger the honey flavor - typically. Clover is a pretty light honey, you might want to look for a buckwheat or alphalpha or a wild flower honey from a hot state like TX, NM, AZ. Become friends with a local bee keeper, or if you want to raise bees send me a message...

I made a pre chiller this weekend out of 25ft of 3/8id refridge tubing (flex copper) I coiled it to be similar to a IC and use it in a 10 gallon water jug/cooler filled with ice ice and more ice plus a splash of salt water. The reason I went with 3/8 id is because my IC is 3/8 id and can handle...

So if infections dont clear up after more time, i guess the beer becomes pig feed... If there is an infection, i guess the only way to know is by the beer creating a geyser when opened (im not thinking of a 5inch squirt of beer - im thinking that it will easily hit and coat the ceiling...

I guess even if that first bottle is infected, I could let it sit for another month or 2 clear it up? It's good to know yeast are strong like bull, even better to know a lot of folks have added themselves (literally) to their sweet wort

Hey guys quick question for you... About a month and a half ago I made a texas blonde and while i was aerating it, a single drop of sweat rolled down my nose and plopped into my wort before I could add my yeast (it was 105, 111 with the heat index) When I racked to secondary their were no...

Well if your using an extract kit, then odds are your OG wont match up to the recipe OG from some of what i've read. It has something to do about sugar distribution, so as long as your in the same zip code it will turn out fine.
