Going to brew NCBeernut's Deception Cream Stout today. The last batch went way to fast. If you like stouts/milk stouts, I highly recommend it!

Jawilson - great job!

Ronarse - now that you have a barley crusher you should try some smaller batch brew in a bag recipes (quicker brew days/less clean up). I just did my first BIAB and it's great for experimenting with new recipes and trying smaller batch recipes. I use my grain mill to double crush the grains...

I just brewed my favorite robust porter, which has always been a favorite, and let it ferment way higher than it should have, and racked it to the keg too early, so I am getting some off flavors. I'll drink it but won't give it out and it's not the same as the really good drink I'm used to...

Ronarse - have you cracked a bottle yet? How did it turn out?

Cheers!

It looks good, I think I'll try something like that!

Deception Cream Stout - that is a very popular beer and the sweet taste will draw in a lot of people who don't normally drink dark beer. The dark beer lovers will enjoy it too! That is my most popular beer amongst all types of drinkers.

Thanks to all the sponsors; count me in. Cheers!

I just ordered some Grogtags (I'm hoping they work as good as they sound). I do have a new logo that I hope to use on future beer labels:

For anyone else who might be thinking about a Blichmann Beer Gun, I am also very happy with it. I just did a blog update to review it here: http://boykingbrewhaus.com/2014/02/12/review-blichmann-beer-gun/

duboman - great explanations - I will be doing this tomorrow. Thanks for explaining how to do this in a very easy to understand way. It really makes sense to make a starter a little bigger (since you're making a starter anyway) and save some for a future brew (thereby saving money)!

Jlem - I like your Beer Log, is that a plugin for the site or did you just design a table that you keep adding to? It's very organized and helpful!

Bummer- missed it, glad you got some. You'll have to post a review here, I've wondered how well they hold up to on a bottle/off a bottle/etc.

Did yours clear up? I'm having the same issue.

I did a 2 gallon batch of Bells Two Hearted (clone recipe) using WLP001, pitched into wort at 67 degrees (OG of 1.070) and the beer fermented aggressively for several days, and has been fermenting for about 10 days. I have never seen krausen stay on top this long, but it appears to be more...

I just did my first brew in a bag and am sold on it for smaller batches and quicker brew days. I hit 85ish efficiency by following Brad Smith's (BeerSmith) tutorial on his website, and will be doing smaller batches. I like the Beersmith software because I can quickly convert my all grain...

Pitch was right around 67, and ambient temp was around 68 for several weeks, so your right, the actual liquid temp during fermentation may have been the culprit (I didn't think about that). It has only been in the keg for a week, so I'm hoping that there still may be hope. These are always...
