Would a pumpkin porter or pumpkin stout work? I'm thinking a little heartier beer with the pumpkin added might be good, your thoughts?

So my wife likes blueberries. She wants me to brew a blueberry ale. I'm thinking a standard extract ale recipe with blueberries added to the ferment. My question is this. How much do I add, and should I add in the primary or secondary ferment ? And should it be whole berries or crushed or...

I'm doing a Creme Ale kit from Northern Brewer, I've heard it is real good. I have a Moore beer raspberry ale in the fridge that turned out awesome!

I guess not.

I found in building mine that a smaller power supply like 6 or 9 volt is plenty. I started with a 12 volt and it was to strong even on the lowest pot setting. It kept throwing my stir bar . The 6 volt I am using now is sufficient. I have made 2 starters with it so far with no problems.

That is truly some awesome work! You should be proud of yourself! What an awesome place to relax with any beverage of choice!

My Raspberry Ale, oh so nice!

Sorry I meant HomebreW Supply store.

Could the mid Willamette Valley support a full service Homebrew supply store? Are there enough people in the Salem are that would buy locally given the chance?

http://youtu.be/28X8XckvUTM This is the best YouTube video I have found. There are many more that give step by step instructions. I built mine for about $20. I used a project box from Radio Shack and gutted an old PC tower and used the fan and magnet from the hard drive. I would spend the few...

I have a friend who is a hop farmer here in the valley, and I just saw his wife at the store. She says come harvest time I can have all the cascade and centennial hops I want!!! Oh ya baby!

Why not?

My beer turned out pretty good, a little hoppy, but still a good beer for my first time out

My buddy brewed a habanero beer and used 3 habs in a purée. It was well balanced with a even burn on the backside. I'd prolly die with ghost peppers!

I second the notion of the one gallon kits from Northern. Get a food grade five gallon bucket for fermenting and use the wife's SS stock pot for brewing. Go to your local dive bar and ask for some bottles. If he likes the process after that, then like others have said, go on Craigslist and find...

Put it in the freezer. It should keep till you need it again

Start with about 4.5 gallons of water and boil with your lid on. You should only have to add a gallon to a gallon and a half to bring your wort to 5 gallons.

I have a chargriller duo, I love it

going to add 1 lb of about a 10 crystal malt, I think this will give a bit more balance.

It was a 5 gallon batch. I'll ask him for the recipe.
