I'm afraid I have to agree with this one. I just tried it last week. In my case, it clearly had a lot to do with the way the beer had been treated. It was staled and skunked--but in clear bottles, what would one expect? I know OSH has a real following. I'm an MG guy (I've got a red chrome bumper...

This is basically my set-up. I start with 7 gallons in the pot (pre-boil) and get a bit under 6 into the carboy. Then I run a large diameter blow-off tube into a gallon bucket with a few inches of sanitizer in it. My first time around, I used the Erlenmeyer flask, but it was too small. I had to...

Just wanted to say that, having tried the New Belgium Dig, this is a very interesting brew. Sorachi Ace and Nelson Sauvin up front. It's like a tropical fruit dessert. Not going to become my everyday after-work beer, and I think the malt profile is a bit cloying (I know, to each his own), but...

I don't claim to be an expert, here, but I've been trying to close in on that cask-conditioned English bitter experience with my bottled bitters, and I find that a very moderate dry hopping with traditional English-style hops really helps. I keep it under 1/2 oz., and I don't exceed 7 days. I...

Just made a quick run to the store. No Widmer, no Bell's, no Mikkeller, no Sam Adams single-hop. I grabbed some Dig and some Torpedo. At least I'll have something to do tonight. Did I mention that my mother-in-law just got in for a 2-week visit?

Interesting. Did a bit of checking, and it looks like a few different breweries are doing the single-hop thing. Mikkeller (Copenhagen) seems to be taking the most ambitious approach, though. Looks like a very useful experiment. I'll have to see if I can get their stuff locally, though...

I know some folks think that's a contradiction in terms, but I'd like to set that conversation aside for the moment, if possible. I'm new to the hobby, and I'd like to branch out a bit. I'm not a huge fan of grapefruit, so I'd like to get a sense of what some other hops taste like in an APA, and...

I do it. My water isn't terrible out of the tap, but it just tastes better when I run it through the filter. My thinking is that if the water tastes better, the beer will taste better, too. I'm not certain whether it removes the chloramine, but I do taste less of the chlorine flavor when I...
