Politics aside that is very cool. I would like to see the recipe when they release it.

Red Brick (Atlanta Brewing co) Laughing Skull Amber Ale.

Sound like you had an interesting brew session. Your beer should be fine (it can be surprising what it takes to not make beer). For me the brewing of beers is what I like along with how you can always improve next time.

4983 + 5 = 4988 5 American Amber Ale

Ditto. I really like the beer and I would love a recipe for a five gallon batch.

I have to say that I tried this beer the first time a couple of weeks ago and the more I drink it the more I like it. Does anyone know a clone for this beer? To me it is the closest to drinking a wine I have had with a beer. Very complex taste and it even surprised me that I liked it since...

I would start by answering a couple of questions. Do you know how many kegs you want on tap/how many kegs can your freezer holds? Do you know if you want a tower or a collar with taps? Purchase a keg system from a vendor (mine was through keg connection) I went with picnic taps instead of per...

I steep my grains in the boil kettle with around 2.5 or 3 gallons of water and pull them out at around 170 degrees. When the water boils I take the boil kettle off the flame and mix in the extract. I then put the pot back on the flame and bring to a boil them add hops, etc. I tend to not use...

This was my favorite episode so far. I do find it interesting how many quality control or process issues they seem to have on the non-regular beer varieties.

I always thought that if the unit of measurement was a weight then the amount should be based on weight. If the measurement was volume then it should be based on volume. This is how it is done in baking. For example if you have a recipe that calls for 1 cup of flour and 16 oz of butter you...

Why is CO2 not readily available? Are their no LHBS or beverage companies in your area?

I am a complete newbie so take my response with a grain of salt. I have been told that with the boil adding fruit depends on how you want the fruit to contribute to the beer. Earlier in the boil = adds to taste Later in the boil = adds to aroma

I agree that not all of the failed 120 was dumped but the vast majority probably was. Even if it was used at the brew pub it did not look like they could store the entire batch within the brew pub.

So pardon my ignorance but is it normal for the craft brewers to collaborate on beer formulations? I noticed in the Punkin/Portamarillo he is working with Epic and stated several other brewers that they collaborate with. I would have thought there would be more trade secret type stuff.

1) Get into a brewing rotation (getting back into brewing after about 2 years) 2) partial mash or all grain brewing 3) Kezzer (parts on the way)

I hope it is worth it. I just purchase a keg kit from keg connection for my next batch. I always head bottling and hope that this allows me to brew more without the last messy step.

I actually like the show. In fact it has gotten me back into home brewing seeing his passion and looking at beer from a different perspective. I like beer that tastes like beer but seeing this show makes me rethink this and try different types of beer.

Just an FYI. The GE 7 cubic foot freezer is on sale (Internet only) for $168 with free shipping.
