Through a series of lucky events I have gotten to be friends with the owner of a local brewery/restaurant in my area. He has two locations but only brews at one of them and has to drive about an hour each way to get beer to his second location. He has a brewing setup at his second location that...

I brewed something like this but I used duck and turkey along with the chicken. I'm calling it "Turdrunken" haha. It actually is not to bad, it's not great but it did exceed my very low expectations.
Ok, I just finished reading "The Complete Joy of Home Brewing" and I saw the recipe for "Cock Ale." Naturally at first I laughed at the title and thought of making some just to make fun of my friends when they put my cock (ale) in their mouth. Then I considered the logistics of brewing it. I...
I bottled my first attempt at a BIAB partial mash today, it is a chocolate porter. I was really nervous about this one because I made so many rookie mistakes. The mash temp was to high, I didn't have a strainer to put the grain bag in for sparging, I had a boil over and I totally forgot to buy...
Thanks Bob I will message you if any other questions come up. As far as calculating the boil off and stuff like that I'm sure that I can find a calculator and if not I just graduated with an ME degree focusing on the thermal fluid field so I'm sure I can figure it out haha. For now I have to...
It's not really an exotic beer or hard to find beer but a $18 bottle of the Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale.
Very smokey with a sweet finish. Fortunately I love smokey flavors (my only hobby in front of brewing is BBQing) and it has bacon in it... I know smokey beer is an acquired taste...
I'm doing a bunch of research on partial mash brewing, with the hopes of evolving out of extract brewing into partial mash. I was looking at recipes on beertools.com and this is probably a dumb question but I was wondering, is the batch size the same as the amount of water that I should have in...

A few of my friends love Blue Moon. I am gonna have to try this. I realize that it's an all grain recipe but if I portioned it out for a 5 gallon batch could I use the brew in a bag technique? I'm still relatively new to brewing (moving from extract to partial mash/brew in a bag) so that might...
