That's pretty sweet ink and the meaning behind it is awesome

I've heard of it but only because I live in the area with the Alehouses, as well. I haven't had it but as per the DFH website: "This Double IPA is rich honey amber in color with aggressive hopping balancing a robust flavor profile packing 9.5% alcohol by volume. Citrus, apricot and piney...

Ask and you shall receive! Three Philosopher's: No spices but infused with a kriek; Columbus and Sterling hops; Pilsner malt, amber malt, caramel malt; Saccharomyces Cerevisiae yeast Hennepin: spiced with coriander, sweet orange peel, ginger, and grains of paradise; Columbus and Czech Saaz...

The tasting sheets don't give the specific amounts used of each ingredient but hopefully it will be a good start for everyone trying to clone it!

Haha that's a great story! Although I'm still young, these are the kinds of stories that makes me want kids...for awesome stories/memories/bonding moments like this!

Just as someone who works PT for Ommegang...as per the tasting sheets I had to memorize, the spices used in the Abbey Ale are sweet orange peel, coriander, cumin, and star anise...hops are columbus and styrian golding...I know this is a thread for an extract recipe but the malts used are pilsner...

Nice! Glad to hear it all worked out in your favor! Cheers to that my friend!

Well, I did exactly what I said I was going to do...drink it with some steak. I used a rub that was pretty mild and only added a little bit of spice. I definitely don't think it interfered much with the beer because that sucker (the beer) was as glorious as anything I've ever tasted!

Definitely right about that! I've been reading various blogs, threads, and comments about people who have paired with Pliny..some people are saying spicy, I've heard others say Italian foods are good, and then the obvious like steak and burgers.

I figured that for a beer this celebrated and hard to get, I'd make myself a good dinner to have with it! I'll be sure to stay away from spicy...maybe I'll cook up a nice steak with it!

Upon returning to DC after a trip home to California, my roommate brought me a bottle of Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig. I'm interested in hearing some recommendations for food pairings with these beers. I looked on BeerAdvocate and saw general pairing ideas (i.e. grilled meats) but I'm...

Here's a link that I found on Craigslist. It's for a couple of things for kegging. http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/for/2139225829.html

Not mine...found this while scanning Craigslist http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/for/2136743633.html

Let's see...Personally: 1. Visit the friends and family around the country that I continually say I'm going to visit and never do (only a few places) 2. Save as much money as possible (for aforementioned travel and to start padding my savings account) 3. Do one good deed a week for someone...

I haven't added spices to a pre-made kit but I've very much thought about doing it. If I were you, I'd look at some of the recipes on this forum for a wheat beer and see what amount of spices were added to them. Chances are the base is going to be similar so you're really just looking for the...

I agree with this statement. It tasted like carbonated Robitussin to me. I tried SO hard to finish the bottle but I just couldn't. It made me sad :(

That just looks absolutely incredible. I want that now!

I saw what you were talking about and it was a bit unfortunate. I actually didn't wind up entering the contest, though. I don't have many posts because I am a newer brewer (only started in summer 2010) so I just don't feel that there's much I can contribute at this point in time. I add what I...

There was a ton of good feedback wherever I saw that post which I was why I figured I'd share it here. I haven't actually tried it myself but I've been meaning to. I can see how all the foam would mess with the hydrometer which could definitely get annoying but at least your beer turned out fine...

This isn't my trick but I saw it on one of the other posts somewhere on this forum...to help oxygenate the wort before pitching the yeast, put the wort into the bottling bucket, open the spigot and let the wort drain down into your fermenter.
