yes please!

ohhhhh yeah!

I brewed the AG version of Schlenkerla's Quaffable Irish Red a month ago. Letting it sit until late Feb., then it goes on gas. mmmmmmm

When I switched to AG, the first 3 beers I made tasted strange. Couldn't figure out what it was. I live in Zionsville, and we get our water from Eagle Creek. I eventually got a water report, and tinkered with using salts to create the right brewing profile. No good. Finally, a guy who lives...

I live in a townhome complex, so there are lots of people living in a small amount of acreage. One night, drunk, the wife and I are walking the dog, and I get the idea that I'm gonna out do the dog by peeing on everything she just got done peeing one. Lemme tell ya, thats not easy! I don't...

Dang, you guys are getting me pumped for my beer! Its bubbling away right now, and I'm about to pop off the airlock and pour it all over myself!

haha. thanks for the responses. dry hop it is...

I brewed up a recipe I came up with yesterday, using all citra hops. I've never used citra hops before, so I was curious. My recipe is posted below. The grain bill is very simple, hoping to really get the taste of the hops and gain an understanding of them. My question is, if you brewed this...

This brew is great. I'm finishing up a keg of it right now, and plan on brewing it again soon. I want this stuff on tap all summer long. My standard rule of thumb is 1 month in primary, though this beer is so light that you can probably get away with 3 weeks in primary. After a month, I...

My sight glass is open at the top, so all I have to do is lift it up and over. That bracket fits snugly in that curve, so it actually "grips" itself in and becomes sturdy once its down. Even if my sight glass was connected at the top, if you leave one side of the bracket unbolted, it easily...

Got my new sight glass from homebrewhardware the other day. After looking at several other threads, I decided it would be advantageous to get a heat shield for it. Went to home depot and designed this little bad boy for CHEAP. Whole bag of brackets for about 3 bucks. Aluminum flashing for 4...

I brewed an Abbey Dubbel about a month ago. Gonna take the first swig in September. The candi-sugar will boost the OG, add fermentables to the wort, thus boosting the final ABV. I used two pounds for a 5 gallon batch, but many recipes call for one pound per 5 gallon batch. So, if your...

I started AG brewing about 3 months ago, and decided (after a couple bad brews) that my water was the culprit of bad tastes. I decided to immerse myself into the world of creating water profiles from DI/RO water, and never looked back. Beers "came alive" once I decided to do this. I recommend...
