Come on cupid!!

Hey all, I have access to a lot of great West Coast beers and would love to check Heady and sunshine off my list. I have a good stash of all last years Barrel Works stuff or am willing to pick up and trade for whatever you would like, just let me know!

Brewed again today with all falconers flight 7 c's. Have to lager it. Can't wait

I have dove a prickly pear porter, yearly. Only once with saguaro fruit which was a saison last year. I juiced, strained, pasteurized and added about a half gallon to the secondary. there was a flavor and tartness not usually present in my saison but not as much as I expected. Given the amount...

Last attempt went at this went a little off. Collected too much pressure boil and longer boil forced darker color. Pitching on top of a stouts yeast cake didn't help either lol. "India very dark brown ale" I do this beer single hopped with a ton of Nelson saivon. Call it Nelson the red. No...

This recipe is my go to for all things ipa. I switch the hops and yeast almost everytime. I usually lager it when I am too busy to tend to the makeshift swamp cooler because my wife does not like to use the ac and it's too hot here in the desert to leave it out otherwise. Cry havoc or California...

Just brewed this yesterday as a single hop w Nelson Sauvin. Excited. Wanted to get to know the Nelson hop as I have not used it yet, and try my luck at an American style red. Malt smelled great when crushed and even better as wort. Should be good. Going to lager using fresh American lager yeast...

Yeah who knows. Either way I'm bummed. Haven't found the heart to dump it yet. May try to let it sit for a couple months to see what she becomes.

Hey all, Wanted to share my misery discovered this week. Brewed a pumpkin stout all grain with vanilla bean and the smallest amount of pie spice. Tasted pre yeast pitch and it was heavenly! Pitched yeast and had a violent fermentation. So much so I came home to the lid blown half way off with...

On my second batch of this because the first one went quick. Dialed back the og a bit and pitched a lager yeast(it's hot here in tucson and have to cold ferment) enjoy it greatly ! Thanks for sharing !

Thanks for the help guys. Look forward to all grain brewing Cheers !

Check it out !!

Calder you are prob right. Like I said I did not document. I'm about to go all grain and will put a little more effort from here on out. Have a triple burner set up. Ten gallon cooler w false bottom and ss ball valve set up. Brew kettle should hopefully be here tomorrow!. Which software do you...

Couldn't help it. Chilled one to sample. My mug was a bit too cold I think. Froze the head so I'm unsure about retention. Did not gush when opened. Good carbonation. Lots of berry flavor. Very tart. Espresso on the finish. Not to hot on the alcohol. I'm going to have to chill another to check...

The starting gravity was about 1.10. Got complacent and didn't document. The temp in my bathroom tub where this was stowed away was a pretty constant 70 while fermenting.
