What's in the skillet?

Could someone give me advice on a recipe for a Belgian Stout? Anything I should add, delete or change? Thanks in advance! Belgian Pale Ale - 13 lbs, 0 oz Briess Organic Munich 10 - 2 lbs, 0 oz Briess White Wheat - 1 lbs, 0 oz Crisp Chocolate Malt - 1 lbs, 0 oz Briess Roasted Barley - 0...

I'll have to second White Birch in Hooksett. Be sure to pick up something by Squam Brewing (NH). I enjoy Vermonster by Rock Art Brewery (VT). I'll also second Ipswich. I like their beers, but Clown Shoes is awesome!

So, for the track and rate type apps...Untappd seems to be my favorite so far. Pintley glitches and closes every time I open it. Brewster, Android Beer Guide and Beer Free are OK, but all lacking.

I've never even thought of using the carboy for a starter. That's awesome! I may have to try that next time I need a large starter. It definitely wouldn't fit on my stir plate, though. I guess I'd just do the ole walk by and swirl.

I was also wondering how to do a 3.5L starter in my 2L flask. :) I think I may try to get a few packs of the US 05. That way I get to brew, don't have to worry about shipping in the heat or making a starter, and I'll save a few bucks (as opposed to ordering several more 1056). Thanks for the...

Well, all of the ingredients will be pre-milled and packaged together. Nothing else to make another. I'd have to order it. I did think about brewing a smaller beer and pitching on the cake. I do have a stir plate, though.

OK. If I were able to get my hands on another pack or two...would you get a few packs and just pitch or make the stater on Friday. This would also be my first starter, so I'm clueless. Thanks!

Yeah, in the mail. No local store here. :(

Yeah, I just under pitched a Red and regretted it. I'm torn between what I should do and what I want to do. :) I guess I was hoping there some magical way to step up my starter in a day or so. haha

I plan on brewing an Imperial Stout this Saturday that should start at 1.112 (70% efficiency) or 1.08 (the more likely 50% efficiency). Tomorrow (Thursday) I'll be getting my smack pack of Wyeast 1056 and plan on doing a 1.5-2L starter. Is this enough time, and will there be enough yeast to...

I got mine from Bell's. https://bellsbeer.com/store/products/StirStarter-%252d-Yeast-Starter-Stir-Plate.html

I don't remember what types of beer they were serving. My dad doesn't really get into drinking, but will sample and usually say something like "It was good."

I have a few brewing, beer finder and rate/track apps that I've played around with. I like certain features on some, but I feel like something's lacking on most, especially on the rate and track apps. What do you like?

Yeah, Silver Water out of the Ouachita. That should be in the tourism brochures. :) They were at the Blend of the Bayou earlier this year. My dad ran into them handing out samples at the event, and said they were in planning (or hoping). I can't really remember. Here are the News Star's...

Gritty McDuff's (I always liked the draft in the pub more than the bottles). Clown Shoes! Ipswich Ales (both by Mercury Brewing). Throwback, White Birch and Squam Brewing in NH. Rock Art in VT. That's about all I can think of that I've had and haven't been mentioned. There are a ton that...

How do you do that? I used to get into making costumes, but it usually consisted of sheets, plastic, duct tape and paint. Nothing ever this good.

Actually, it was Friday the 20th! We were there from about 7:00 to 9:30 or so. We were sitting at the end of the bar near the coolers and right in front of the taps.
