These are my mutts. Left to right Hercules he's a boxer/weimaraner mix, Ruby is full pitbull, and Seymour is a lab/pitbull mix. All rescued from the SPCA. They love hanging out with the newest member of their pack Boyd he's a 6 month old mom/dad mix.

I was bored this afternoon and decided to make a gallon batch of cider. I did some reading and sort of winged it as far as the recipe goes. 1 gallon 100% pure pressed pasteurized cider 3/4 cup cane sugar 1/2 tsp muntons dry active yeast (I went with that because I had it on hand) OG came in...

Are you using them for dry hopping or putting them in the boil? I'd guess you'll have no problems using them either way, but if you're going to put them in the boil that would kill anything that might be living in them.

RDWHAHB! Give it some more time to settle before you worry. It's only been one day.

HAHAHAHAHA! That's what everyone keeps telling me!

If you can find it 1554 is one of the best beers New Belgium makes IMO.

I recommend straining the wort while transferring it to the carboy/bucket. I know it seems like common sense but my first beer ever was an Irish stout kit and I followed the directions to the letter. Unfortunately that wasn't one of the directions so all the hop crud and everything else went in...

Thanks for that. I actually emailed Georgetown and spoke to Lisa who made that post and she gave me some good advice. I'll do some adjusting to the grains based on an extract recipe in that thread that seemed to have some good results.

It's not a mash, I'm just steeping the grains I guess I should have said that initially. The two row, and victory are for aromatic, the crystals are for flavor, the carapils for head retention, and the extract is for the fermentables. I'll cut the flameout addition and adjust the others. Thanks...

Cool thanks. I'm pretty set on the grains. It's just another test batch. I'll see how it turns out and tweak it from there.

I'll be brewing the third test batch of an American Pale Ale recipe I've been working on this Saturday and would like some feedback on the hop additions. The recipe is pretty heavily influenced by Manny's Pale Ale a beer out of Seattle from Georgetown Brewery. I'd like to try and achieve close...

Your wife's grandpa mentioned the time he made beer in his basement in the mid 1950's and had a few bottle bombs and you try to diagnose the problem for him.

Miles Davis ******* brew, only beer from dog fish head I've actually liked.

What I do to clean the junk out of my blow off tube is pretty simple and works really well for me. First I submerge the tube for a day or so in water so all the material is pretty well soaked. Then I take a length of bailing wire about a foot longer than the blow off tube. I make small loop on...
