Sampled the Moonstone Stout from Oyster House Brewing Company at Hickory Hops this year. Definitely a unique and well brewed beer. The five of us love stouts and shucking oysters. We all agreed the combination was not a pleasant experience. I think this is a good concept though, the balance...

This has been REALLY well received with my BMC friends. Remaking this for a Pig Roast Memorial Day weekend. Upping the hops schedule a little bit: 1 oz Cascade 15 mins 1 oz Goldings 5 mins .35 oz Goldings 0 min Triple Hops brewed right

http://www.joann.com:80/joann/catalog/productdetail.jsp?pageName=search&flag=true&PRODID=prd45675 these are great machines. Any Joann flyer will have a 40-50% off coupon in it. Need to rough up the rollers though in order to pull in the grain a machine shop can knurl them or just draw a drill...

The lid won't require that much insulation, just stuff in whatever will fit. Use liquid nails and a piece of 3/8 plywood, laundry board or whatever cut to fit. I have read some keezer builds here where guys used that spray insulation, coated the inside of the lid, glued their sheet in, and...

Try skipping the extract altogether. Get a whole vanilla bean, slice it in half lengthwise, scrape the insides into your secondary, quarter the skin and throw it in as well. Much more pure vanilla taste and smoothness. I use two beans in a 5 gallon batch, YMMV ;). Unless you get pure...

I read campden tablets in the raspberry/peach thread. It sounds a lot making wine, which may be fine for beer, I do not know. I try, as much as possible, to NOT add "stuff" to my beers. I don't use finings, gelatin, nutrients, etc. I do use adjuncts, fruits, herbs, etc. basically if it's a...

THIS is two pages?! Why am I contributing...

Oregon makes sterilized purees of just about everything berry, Oregon canned goods, do not peaches though. After you figure in time the cans compare to good fresh berries. As for fresh fruit if you go that route, +1 to the DO NOT cook them. Along with the haze you will start the process to...

Looks really good! Maybe a bit steep on the corn, 33% ish, I don't know I don't put corn in my beer ;) https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f14/wow-now-thats-light-beer-167509/ is a well received Light Ale, my Miller Lite, Coors Light buddies enjoy it and I don't have to actually buy the commercial stuff.

So I have been following a couple other threads about the BYO Bacon pored or making bacon beer and bacon infused vodka. A method suggested in a couple threads was bacon washing. Bacon washing has been used in bourbon and vodka and suggested for beer. add bacon fat, let it mix around, decrease...

I would put my Corona crush up against a roller mill any day, any time. In fact, I WILL NOT use the LHS roller mill even for small, specialty purchases. I will take the time to clean my corona and run em through. I set mine up in a Homer bucket, and I can mill in the family room in front of...

Definitely render the fat off. I know wort won't harbor nasties, etc but I don't think that was written without fat or lard in mind I'm sure. It may not hurt me but rancid bacon fat would definitely make me sick. That said I can not wait to give it a try. It would be a beer Homer Simpson...

Nice start, and welcome to club! ;) My advice, I just finished my build, would be: BE PATIENT do not fill that sucker up until you are finished. I was so excited to get started And SWMBO was so eager to get fridge space back we moved beer, yeast and a keg into the freezer once the controller...

NOW I know why that person face down in the bucket warning is on the side... HAHAHA

See the LD Carlson sticker on the Packages you buy from the LHS? They are the wholesaler throttling competition in areas by not allowing wholesale contracts inside of geographic regions. Somehow they have positioned themselves as THE distributor, and as such what they say, goes. This is what...

So, I've hit a wall, took pics all last week, and spent the whole weekend working on getting this bad boy put together. Was all excited to put the top on, and start a write up while waiting for the glue to dry. I popped the straps off the collar, and the WHOLE THING came off. I lost all...
