rofl Kai. I've also found this recipe awhile ago when I was seaching for a clone awhile ago: --------------------------- For a 3 gallon batch: 15 lbs pale-ale malt (M&F from England) 2 lbs lt brown sugar Hops: Chinook for boil ca 25HBU Fuggles for finish ca 1 oz 2 mins...

Bearcat you are correct, the stout is brewed for the "fuel cafe" which uses Alterra. I'm also going to recommend cold steeping coffee (about 1/2 lb. for 5 gallons, let sit in 2 quarts of water for 24 hours) you don't extract any oils this way and depending on what kind of coffee you use you...

I wouldnt say rarely, but I try to alternate it a bit, I'll do 2 batches of something around 4% and then do a bigger beer around 6-8% The bigger beers seems to sit around longer so this way I always have a good balance for whatever mood may strike me. Also, without fail I'll brew two massive...

yumm... all good places! Mugs has great burgers & fries if you're there for dinner... wait nevermind you're going to Radegast... even better drunk food there.

I also find starting off with a good meal helps alot too, if you go into it with an empty stomach it will catch up to you fast. I'd also say a water for every 2 beers. Its also good they're mostly cask beers, won't fill you up with carbonation as much! what bars are you going to? (i live...

I've mashed in before I go to work, then run off when i get home about 9 hours later. The drawback is it produces a very fermentable wort, which i learned the hardway with a porter, mashed in at 155, when i got home it was 142 (i was lazy and really didnt preheat the tun) but the yeast took...

then try http://www.midcountrymalt.com/ is their sister company located in chicago. which may or may not be closer.

Yeah, definitely keep us posted on the results, this is one excellent porter. I came across another recipe for it, its pretty similar but its an extract version and has a bit less chocolate malt, also i wonder why they use the irish ale yeast instead of a london one... A ProMash...

I had the same issue with my electric stove, mostly because the bottom of the pot didnt have good flush contact with the heating element. So i got the "entry" level bayou burner for $40 that has the 10 psi regulator. Never had any issues getting 5 gallons to a speedy boil, and i only have the...

I actually just got these for christmas too and have a nice little 60/- to use them on right away. Homebrewer_99, what are your results for carbonation with 2-3 tbs? the instructions that came with the kegs said 1.5 TBS. I usually like matching the carbonation level to the style, but I...

whats the recipe? from a kit or did you put it together?

just use the english pale (2-row) entry and up the color to 3.5-4.5 L or just use any 2-row entry and tell the luv rating to take a hike :mug:

Walker, I'm doing a 70/- right now and on day 4 of fermentation at 60 deg. it started smelling like fart, so you're not alone.

a few small burn marks wont do anything noticeable... at least in my experience.

well unfortunately the bergoff is only open for lunch nowdays, but the standing only bar is great. Delilah's is a must, its a interesting punk/hipster crowd but they have beers no-one else has, and in several vintages. If you go there let me know I'll join you, i live right around the...

these calculators have always worked out well for me: http://www.rackers.org/calcs.shtml

this one has gone over really well with my friends/brew club. Really smooth drinking with nice piney/citrus hops. Also goes down way too fast for a 7% brew.... but its not what you'd call cheap to make. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7.5 lbs...

Baron, I've never made something so light in alch. before so I don't want it coming out too watery... but there is a healthy amount of crystal in there. how about dropping the carapils for some munich to accent the maltyness? 6.00 lbs. Pale Malt(2-row) Great Britain 0.50 lbs. Biscuit Malt...

lightweight? try a scottish light ale :mug: http://www.beerdujour.com/Recipes/Jamil/Zymurgy_Scottish_Export_60.html
