We make dog treats out the spent grains. Homemade peanut butter, stock, and grains make a good combination for dog biscuits. I'm up to my ears in dog biscuits now, so what I tend to do right now is to spread the grains into the yard where I could use some extra bacteria in the soil -- works...

Weekends mainly. Typically Sunday mornings and try to be done before football or other sports are showing. Sometimes Saturday afternoons as well after all chores are done. It was quite difficult over the summer down here as the days were around 105F - 110F and I brew in my garage -- good...

Look into the Round Rock Homebrewers Guild (RRHG) -- drive is short from Bell County to Round Rock. The guys at RRHG are awesome and are open to having new pirates onboard (aRRHG!).

Just started out with making own labels using the Beer Labelizer website. This one was a special request beer --- Mango IPA Artwork was done by a good friend of ours -- he whipped up the drawing on a whim!

Thought I should provide an update. After a week of letting the beer set, the off taste/sweetness that I was tasting has leveled to now what I can definitively state is Diacetyl. It wasn't in the original beer considering the efforts to perform the Diacetyl rest. It was re-introduced with the...

Thanks for the replies to all! I think I'll simply let the bottles age at around 45F for a while to see if the flavor changes. I ran the numbers through both BeerSmith and other calculators and am getting the same numbers as before. Since the beer tasted great before the addition of the...

Thanks for the feedback. This is where I'm confused. :confused: If BJCP states IBUs in the 16 - 26 range (I'm 23 IBU), and I fully attenuated based upon grain bill and yeast to hit my final gravity, I shouldn't be tasting this sweetness. In fact, prior to bottling it tasted exactly like I...

IBUs on this recipe came in at 23IBU (Rager). Seems right in the range for a doppelbock. When I tasted the beer last week before priming, it was awesome. Only now after it has been bottle primed with the S-23 yeast do I get this sweet profile, not too mention a bit of that on the nose as...

OK, this is my first post on the forum after many months of reading through various threads. I've been brewing for almost a year now with many AG batches under my belt. Feel quite comfortable in the overall creation and brewing process. Decided to make a stab at a doppelbock! :rockin: I...
