Great work!!! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Just an update...no bottle bombs, but very over carbed

How did this turn out?

When you order a kit like that do they spell out what is used for base and speciality malts?

Update- A buddy and I made 10 gallons of this. Did three different batches. Forgive me for not having the notes in front of me, but... We played with it three ways. First split: 5 gallons straight fermented cider. (I'll update sg/fg when I have the numbers in front of me) Started...

Hi everyone! I'm in San Jose (Campbell specifically)for a business trip from the midwest. Are there any "must see" beer bars or "must drink" local beers to check out before I head back to the Midwest? I don't have a car, so any trips would be by cab. Thanks in advance!!!

I like weird stuff like this. I'm anxious to see what kind or response you get from people who have tried it. I would have some concerns based on how jackolanterns look after being carved for a few day (moldy/rotten) If you try it please report back on how it goes!

Hi All! I've been searching for a few weeks on how to make a clone of Zombie Killer. There are other threads here on HBT, but none have had actual recipes and or the results. I'm going to build a recipe and promise to report back the results, good or bad. ;) Here's what I'm starting with...

For those using a colander: Is there a risk of hot side aeration doing it this way?

Thank you! They have the yeast as well! Woot! Thanks for the pointer

Just checked and Austin is out of Ace. I can't seem to find anyone that has both hops in stock...it's one, or the other, but not both. If anyone finds them together please report back! I want to make this but hate the idea of paying shipping twice :(

Mine is in primary now. Thank for the recipe. For the sugar, I added it at 30 min since I didn't know when to put in in. I was afraid that if I put it in too early it would caramelize. Also, do to dumb human error, my 60 min hop additions became 20 min hop additions. I'll let you know how...

I'm going to try this tomorrow! Would you mind explaining when the sugar goes in? Do you put it in at the end of the boil?

Any updates on this? I'm considering the same King Kooker. I've already got a Blickman burner, so I'm trying to figure out how to use it in conjunction with (or replacement of) the built in burners. My plan is to stick with a cooler instead of direct fire, similar to the picture above. Any...
