So I made a high gravity wheat a few weeks ago. The OG was 1.100 which was a few points higher then I planned on. I pitched two smack packs of Wyeast 3056 @ 70 into 5.5 gallons and it's been sitting in 66-68 ambient temps for two weeks. After 1 week it was down to 1.030, then I sampled it...

Love the Victory brews. A friend and me had the V-12 one night and a few days later my wife and I stopped into the same place for dinner and beers. She ordered a V-12 and the bartender was new and served it in a full pint glass. Needless to say SWMBO was feeling great off of a pint of that :mug:

What size of blowoff tube are you trying to use? I use 7/16 OD 5/16 ID tubing and it fits right into a standard #6.5 drilled bung.

Awesome :mug:

Sampled about 2oz out of my secondary last night, it's been in there for 3 days, when a friend stopped by and it was amazing. I posted the recipe I used up a few posts. I ended up leaving it in the primary for 2 weeks because it was still actively fermenting after 7 days. OG is unknown...

Just started on a partial mash Belgian-ish White that my wife picked out. I think it'll be pretty good myself :)

A single co-worker of mine has to work today, so I invited him over for beer and desserts when he gets off. We have a Port Brewing HOP-15, Stone Kona/Macadamia/Coconut Porter, and a Bad Elf Winter Ale. He's bringing a few Belgians and I'm sure we'll crack one of my homebrews too.

Duchess de Bourgogne I am generally not a sour fan, but this one did it for me. The usual bartender at our favorite Weds night pub suggested to me and I turned it down knowing that she loves sours so I was pretty sure I wouldn't. She offered me a taste saying that she would buy it if I didn't...

I know of a bunch of fabricators in the general area. PM me your contact info and I'll see if I can find anyone close to you that can TIG weld for you.

Anyone tried this yet? I just picked up a bottle of it for tomorrow night. I'm excited to try it and for $5.99 for 12oz it better be amazing. I'll post up what I think after we try it. http://stonebrewing.com/collab/index.htm#coconut

The 2009 is great. So far I've had a bottle at home and on tap once. Both were excellent :mug: I need to grab a few more bottle for the cellar though.

WOOT!! I'll be sure to put it to good use :mug:

I could use some of that Cascade, but your inbox is full.

So you are trying to do a full 5 gallon boil in a 6 gallon pot? I've been doing 6 gallon boils in a 7.5 gal pot and am constantly fighting boilover for the first 20-30 mins. I wouldn't think you could get 5.5 gallons to boil in a 6 gal pot without boiling over big time.

I've had this a few times and it is the perfect balance between me and my wife's styles. We both really liked it and two bottles were gone very quickly. I'm want to try making something similar soon.

I almost lost #3 last night too and it's only a week old. I had a glass of beer in one hand and the hand I picked up the hydrometer with was wet with StarSan. It shot out of my hand and I juggled it all over the kitchen. I finally caught it after about 10 seconds a foot off the floor. Didn't...

If there's a microbrewery near you, ask if they could help you out and mill your grains. I was checking out a local one yesterday and the brewmaster said the he'll grind grains and gives away yeast to homebrewers all the time. He just asks that you bring in a bottle of your stuff in return :mug:

I had the 2009 on tap again last night. The Collins Pub in downtown Seattle has it and Double Bastard on tap right now. It was a good night :drunk:

Me and SWMBO watch everything on Hulu now, even cancelled our cable after getting fed up with Comcast. We subscribe to all our favorite shows and I get an email alert when the newest episode is online. We can't wait until Sunday nights when the latest episode of Three Sheets is online. I get...

Just brewed a tweaked version of this on Thursday. I'm at work now and don't have my notes, but it was something like this... 7.75# Extra Light DME - Late Addition @15 mins .5# Crystal 40 - 158* @ 30 mins I used whole Amarillo hops and they were 9.5% AA :drunk: 1oz @ 60 1oz @ 45 1oz @...
