Thats a tough one.... just associated with drinking beer, I'd say maybe 10Lbs over a year. I guess that's what happens when I stop drinking "Lite" beer and drink better stuff. :D

I drink a pretty decent amount. Maybe a case a week + or - . Sounds like a lot, but its about 3-4 beers a night. Not talking malt liquor (thats another thread) just homebrew. 4.5% - 5.5% ABV. But the way I look at it is this. I get to work on time, don't miss or leave early because of drinking...

I remember reading an article for brewing a pumpkin ale that a professional brewer would add the spices at different times just like hops. Here is the paragraph that I am referring to: " Scott also helped us better understand spicing during brewing. Initially, I was of the impression that...

I think you'll be fine with the Honey instead. I did a brew similar to this and it didn't dry out too much IMO. I used 6# light LME 1# light DME 8 oz Crystal 60L 2 oz Black Patent 1# Clover Honey Then the spice mix It was one of the best spiced brews I had. I think you'll be more than fine.

+5 = 2016 with 1/2 oz 5% Cascade

Boy this isn't the logo I thought it would be. http://manhattancocktailclassic.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/BeefeaterGin.gif

They were making fun of how corny the BMC beer commercials were back then.

This is a clip from The Groove Tube back in the 70's.

You lose a quantity of beer when you transfer over to your bottling bucket (or any other transfer) which depending on how much you left at the bottom of your fermenter or secondary may account for most of that loss. I usually make an extra 1/2 gal - gal to account for that.

Will be firing up a Blueberry Blonde Ale tonight. Edit: I am in the midst of Mashing in right now.

If planned/unplanned or even possible, just wait until a baby comes along. The baby will love that beer themed nursery.

I agree with JayWeezie... time to build yourself a brewcave :D After tripping over bottles and having buckets under the table, my wife kind of supports me having my own space in the basement. I just have to build her an art studio down there first. LOL

1) Definitely cheese. 2) Hot wings and Pale Ales or Wits. (depends on my mood) But then again I like drinking beer and eating sweets like cookies or cake - my wife thinks I'm gross, but I love it.

Sounds like a very good time!!

Brewed this last night/this morning - My OG was 1.052. The dominate aroma in the boil was definitely the smoked malt. (Glad I dropped down to 2#) I used 4 whole cloves at 10 mins and didn't really smell them in the boil - time will tell. I could smell the Raisin/Plum of the 120L after a few...

I'm brewing an experiment tomorrow. Hope it goes well. I was out for a night walk and I noticed a familiar smell in the air. At first it was like caramelized raisins. The further I walked the more complex it got. Slowly the scent of cloves entered the picture and enhanced the sweetness of the...

Well its been about a month or two and I finally have the ingredients to brew tomorrow. Looking at the stats after some changes its more of an Amber or Brown Ale than a stout. Anyway, this is what I decided to try: 5.25 Gal 70% Efficiency OG: 1.054 IBU: 29.2 SRM: 14 6.5LB US 2Row Pale 2.0LB...
