Hopslam is brewed in February and March. It usually isn't on shelves now because it has been sold out for awhile. Just searching these forums for Hopslam would show you that you are off on the hop additions. From talking to Larry this spring IBU's are lower then expected at mid to upper 60s...

The time in secondary is no problem, as others have said. No worries there, bottle when you can. As for your recipe I'd say you're in American Amber Ale, or American Wheat.

Never been to Kennett, I can tell you what I do as an avid beerfest goer myself. Arrive ~30 mins prior to opening. The gate people will usually let you see the event map, tasting guide, so you can plan out what you would like to taste. Look also for special brews that would likely run out...

Hickory Hops is in April, and if you haven't been yet, you should! I travel from Onio, it's THAT good.

Right Brain was without a doubt the tops of the tour we did in Traverse City. I get out there once maybe twice a year, so I'm too far removed from brewer drama to know any of that. It's clearly run by people who love beer and making great beer. We're headed to Beer and Brats at Crystal Mtn...

He LOVES beer! Our beer, can't get enough of what I brew, he gets Top of the Hill from Chapel Hill and Sweetwater 420 and whatever else they are puttin are out for us. Apparently if you're from Chicago and go to Wrigley with any consistency you have a special a e for Old Style... I don't get...

Wow!!! How can I get one?!?!

Hadn't thought of an Octoberfest, it may have potential though. I still would like any feedback on the Porter.

From what I understand the recipes in the BYO were submitted to AHA and BJCP for admission as a new style. I would say they are pretty solid. That being said, the W-10 Pith Black IPA from Widmer's is outstanding! Both the commercial and the clone, it is awesome to partake in this brewing...

My homebrew club is doing an Iron Brewer competition and my secret ingredient is Woerther's. I am challenging myself in two areas: can I build a recipe from the ground up that fits in style, 2 can I get the caramel of Woerther's from beer ingredients so that if this turns out well I can submit...

BYO May-June 2010 has a great couple pages on bacon beer. You are right, NO FAT, the fat will go rancid and ruin the beer. He talks about 'dry hogging' beer. Cook the bacon in the stove till crispy and fatless, but not burnt. Then add to the secondary, like dry hopping. This is definitely...

Pee in a bucket and krausen it. Skunk a Budweiser. Get a Light Lager kit, split it into 2 fermenters, top em off and Lager the results. OK, I think I got all the sarcasm out of the way. A Chicago friend of mine has moved to North Carolina, and has offered me a stay at his place. As a...

Did you brew this?

Walker, I assume you have drunk, drank this by now. Do you remember it? Have you brewed this again? My home brew club has an Iron Brewer competition in November and I have been looking for a base Porter for a Woerther's Porter. I would swap the Lactose for Woerther's Originals. CHEERS!

I have a tower, no faucet on it.

I'll be home tomorrow, and measure my keezer, not sure if I want 1 or both but these look like what I want.

Will you split them?

Mackinaw is making good "traditional" beers, true to style, nothing was bad or boring. At the same time nothing stood out and said TAKE ME HOME! North Peak rotates a hand pulled cask, was REALLY good. Their Amber is aged in oak. They don't serve the beers they ship, like to Blue Tractor, at...

Arrived at 11 am Blue Tractor - not a micro-brewery; Bell's Two Hearted and North Peak's Archangel on tap North Peak - our server put their seasonals on the sampler for us; so Heffeweissen, Northern Light Lager, North Peak Pale, Steelhead Red (aged in oak, good taste/idea), Mission Point...
