So, there is rumored to be a beer brewed in South America brewed with a whole chicken. Any takers?

That is why it is important to get it out of the closet and into the light of day where people can learn proper technique and make good, safe product. It isn't rocket science, and just because it is illegal does not mean people will not try it. I don't need the government to protect me from my...

Very nice!

Here are four pictures of my brew space:

Sounds great. I would like to try a traditional version with the weiss yeast but I am not sure I would want a whole batch. Your variation sounds great.

Dampfbier?! Cool. Is it a pretty traditional recipe, yeast, fermentation temp and all? I hope you will share your results on this one.

The ever-creative human mind. Pretty clever idea.

Do you remember your first thread? Here is mine: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f29/new-old-guy-6100/#post56342 What about your's?

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. I hope the day is enjoyable and satisfying. I assume most will be eating some variation of the traditional meal, so what are you drinking with it? I am planning on sharing a vertical of Stone Vertical Epics going back to '05. Among the things I am thankful...

Thanks for the morning laugh

I did and it is very nice. The Deltas give it a unique and pleasant character, but I would not use the same hopping schedule. I would eliminate the 20 minute and the dry hops.

I would cut the coffee malt back by an ounce or so. I might put in a small amount of roast. I would also consider some special B or 120L crystal for that dry fruit note.

Yeast variety, pitching rate, aeration, mash temp. grain bill, water hardness will all effect your FG/body of your beer. You can always add things to "artificially" boost your FG, but you should learn to control it without their use. It just takes time. Paul Farnsworth (professor, writer...

Maris Otter has great character. So does Golden Promise (which I often prefer). They add a stronger, breeder malt character to recipes. You can use American Pale and get great results and in a big american barley wine you should have enough going on that the MO back bone won't ding the beer...

In addition to hop utilization, the boil has other uses in brewing. One important result is the volatilization of DMS. This is especially important in using pilsner malt. 90 minutes is often the recommended time with these malts. DMS can give a cooked corn flavor and isn't really very...

Well that was funky. Beerjobber.com has a limited number of people who can enter their site so you have to request a code so when one becomes available you can get in. Not the "grew to have your business" welcome I expected! Will see what happens from here.

Will do. Thanks for the heads up.

About $28 a bottle to New Mexico by ground mail. I don't think so. That is basically the price of a bag of grain. I will taste it some day. They are asking nearly $10 for a 22 ounce bottle before shipping.

Bad karma

If they can get it to New Mexico, open a mail order or I get out there I will gladly check out the work of their hands. Oh, wait. You aren't appealing for us to support them, but gloating that you can! Come on, share the wealth!
