Hello Ed welcome to the forum. I wish I saw this earlier as I just brewed 10 gallons today. I'm sure someone here will show you the ropes or I'll try and get another beer brewed up soon and invite you over. I live in South Charleston. Tim

I just got done handing out 6 packs of this beer to my neighbors and friends. I let it age for 10 weeks which I found to be just right. I sampled the beer every week to see how the spices mellowed. Mine finished at 9.8% ABV but you cannot tell! The honey really helps to dry it out just enough. I...

I like the first one. The glass makes the E even if you don't get that mpty still sounds like empty. I think it's one of the best names I've seen in a while.

Thanks kingwood. That's what I did. It's now in new wort to build up to colony.

I've had some yeast in my fridge for a little while but not too long that it would be bad. The problem is, I had a really bad storm that knocked out my power for a few days. I ran my fireplace to keep the house warm but when I was sleeping it hit like 90 in here. Really close to my fridge...

I'm in!

My Christmas beer is about ready. How many others here made a seasonal beer this year? It would be cool to set up a meeting or dinner where we could sample everyone's brew. How many would be interested in that? If you want to meet in charleston post here and I'll pick a day in December. That's...

I brewed this 9/15 and hit 1.071 and 1.082 OG. I had to do two batches. I wanted ten gallons made so I could bottle and hand out 6 packs for Christmas. Having 10 gallon coolers I couldn't do a single double batch. I kegged and put them on gas after two weeks in primary. I got 1.007 FG on both...

What does flaming the cinnamon stick do? I'll be adding the spices to my batch tomorrow. I might try this on one batch. I made two five gallon batches so I could easily experiment with one.

I'm in!

Yes, just turn the extras off.

I've never asked anyone if we can bring our own to drink. In the past I have always just swapped beers and sent texts later about my experience. Weekdays are best for me. Thursdays are not so good for others in the area. I try to let everyone know when I'm brewing to give them the chance to...

Mine came from here: http://wtvr.com/2012/09/21/beer-can-outlast-a-nuclear-disaster/

In 1965, testing by the FDA and the Civil Defense Administration found that beer could also be used as potable water in the event of a neuclear emergency. Just don't expect it to taste the same. The bottles are slightly radioactive but that doesn't transfer to the beer inside.

Google it. I recently added vanilla beans to my beer smith ingredients. I cannot recall how I did it. Something about clicking on ingredients then on the top bar there was an add option that popped up another window with all the options to add them. Be sure to check the upgrade tab to see if...

I believe it can handle 13A.

I would sub cascade and use the same amount as centennial. They are very close to each other.

Coldone, Welcome to the party! I'm currently brewing a batch right now. Heating the sparge water. I'm glad you found this thread. So far each home brewer I have met in the area can make some great beer! I get the feeling there are quite a few of us but we just need to get a little organized to...

Wow where do u live?

Finally got my hands on 6 bottles of 120min IPA. I tried one last night and I was blown away at how tasty it was! 60min is my favorite IPA. 90min is good too but to me it still is sweet and a little thick but when I tried that 120. I have a new favorite! Now I have to figure out how to make...
