Will do, thanks man! I'll send out a sample this week. I'm brewing this sat. Should I brew with store bought or other water?

I've attached a copy of my water report I pulled from the website. Does this provide the necessary info?

Hello! I'm brewing an IPA this weekend and because of past disappointments (especially with hoppy beers) I think it's time to start doing water adjustments. I guess my first question is where the heck do I start?? And will it make a big difference in my beers? My last IPA had a bunch of...

It's been in the bottle for 2 1/2 weeks now and I'm happy with it. I think it's a good idea to stick with their hop bill. I went with my own (35ish IBU's) and it does take away from the maltiness. I should have kept it in the mid 20's. I believe that initial 60min hop addition they have on...

Thanks for posting! I will be brewing this one for sure. They make fantastic beers, especially their IPA. Any chance they had that one in the book? I can't find a clone anywhere.

Cool, thanks for the help guys! I might save the cascade and go with your hops suggestions and the S-05 to keep it cheap.

Hey all! I'm planning on brewing a brown this weekend and since Avery gives the recipe out on their website (and it's a tasty beer) I thought I'd give this one a try. I think I have the grain bill down, the percentages are close to what Avery recommends. Here's what I plan on doing: 2 Row...

I racked my Peanut Butter Brown concoction to secondary last night and the peanut butter flavor was pretty mellow. Will definitely double to amount in the boil next time and shoot for 6 gallons in the fermenter - holy trub loss! Do you guys think I should add another 6.5 oz container of PB2 to...

Yo! I brewed this recipe today based off a really good peanut butter beer I had at the great american beer fest - the guy that brewed it was cool enough to give me some pointers. Wasn't a stout or porter which seems typical of PB beers - it was fn good though. He told me to do base malt with...

Yeah that might be it! I know I grabbed a business card from the brewmaster so if I find it I'll let you know. It's like piecing together a crime scene after a night of beerfest. He was a super nice guy and offered to send me the recipe, so I'll keep you guys posted. I'd like to hear how...

I'm going to give this recipe a go very soon. I volunteered at the Great American Beer Fest last weekend and was lucky enough to pour for FSW on Saturday night. Man do they make amazing beers! I wasn't much of a fan of black IPA's but the Wookey blew me away. Didn't realize it was 8.5% - that...

I had a Peanut Butter beer (looked like a brown ale) at the Great American Beer Fest last weekend and it was awesome. From a brewery in PA - sorry forget the name. The brewer said he added the peanut butter powder during the boil.

I'm planning on bottling this weekend or early next week. That will be 10 days primary and 10-14 secondary. I'm impatient though. Then 2-4 weeks in the bottle. Need to get a keg system!

This one took me a long time too. Hopefully you haven't been drinking the entire time. I did when I brewed this one and woke up with a headache and angry wife. I think this recipe might be worth it though.

I used rice hulls and still had a very slow/stuck sparge. Didn't use enough I guess. Rocking the mash tun (I have the round cooler type) back and forth worked. I haven't bottled yet so I can help you with the spice. What I tasted when I transferred to secondary was great and I did 1.5 tbs.

Transferred mine to secondary last night. FG was at 1.014. Looks and tastes great! Only 2 weeks in secondary and 2-4 in the bottle to go. Can't wait!

Here are some pics from my brew night. I threw in 3 big handfulls of rice hulls but still got a stuck/really slow sparge. I also had a fine grain crush so once it got moving again I noticed a lot of particles going into the kettle. Hopefully I don't need to worry about tannins?? Other then...

I will explain once I'm sober.

Finishing up now. Pics and stories to come. Stuck sparge!!! Only used 3 big handfulls of rice hulls. Super fine grain crush may have hurt too. I still think it'll be good.

Thanks Reno! I'll let you know how it goes. Just got back from getting my spice/pumpkin/dark brown sugar and even found a 4pk of Punkin for some inspiration.
