The Bad Apple... Lincoln Ave. One of my favorite bars ever. Anyone reading this thread, please hit it.

Did not do my research... no pub at Metropolitan, Hopleaf not open until 3. No pub at Half Acre either but they were super nice and gave me samples and I bought a tee and a 4pack of Daisy Cutter. Right now I'm across the street at Bad Apple... GREAT, BEAUTIFUL bar with incredible selection. I am...

Reporting from the Goose Island Clybourn bar... I love Chicago! Hit up Haymarket yesterday and LOVED it. Tasted all oheir beers and ate. Just had some fish tacos here at GI and am enjoying the beers. Might head out to Peace and Revolution after this if I can figure a quick way west on North...

Pics of adding juice to 2ndary - click here My thread on it - click here My current recipe - click here (top one, v.4) Next time (v.5) I will ad probably half a pound of CaraPils to v.4 recipe to add a little bit of body. Was a touch thin, but not from the watermelon juice... Most of my wheat...

Another vote for no caps... I think it actually looks great (and classic) how it is. If anything, do some tile.

Rauchbier: http://www.dubbeldachs.com/recipes_baconbeer.htm Normally lagered, but the WLP007 yeast will leave it crystal clear and clean. This is based off the Cherry Smoke Beer recipe in the recipe forum, and it ends up sweet and smoky, like bacon. Will complement your smoked meats you are...

Carapils will add some body, right? That's what I'm shooting for.

When I do v.5 someday, I am definitely adding a half pound of carapils... going to add it to my Orange Honey Hefe too. The OHH was a touch thin last time.

Did you see eps 1 and 2? He never had junk. Big softie crying *****.

What's the problem with a smelly stopper? Your beer doesn't touch it.

Added an ounce of Amarillo as a dry hop... Kegging at some point this weekend so will have a review soon!

Got my Mount Hope scoresheets... No awards, but a decent score. 39 and a 36 for a 37.5 overall. From two certified judges. I think that they both thought it was actually lagered... that WLP007 yeast is magic. Best comment was "Overall Impression 8/10: Very good rauchbier. Good job. All I need is...

Bacon Beer Entering this in two more competitions this week: Mount Hope Brewfest Homebrewer's Contest and Appalachian Brewing Co.'s 5th Annual Contest.

Doctor (hospitalist). Score! :ban::ban::ban:

I tend to go more for aroma and floral citrus tastes in an IPA over bitterness.

I have a bunch of Amarillo and Citra leafs... I have read not to use Citra to bitter, thus the Centennial... Anything else stand out as a red flag? Sucker Punch IPA Category: India Pale Ale (IPA) Subcategory: American IPA Recipe Type: All Grain Batch Size: 5 gal. Volume Boiled: 7...

I endorse the website recipe.

Did you shake/oxygenate enough when you pitched? I splash my wort from the kettle to the carboy and use an oxygen stone for about a minute right after I pitch. I did not make a starter for this batch of WLP300 because I heard not to overpitch on hefes, and it was the most voltile fermentation I...

Would not have even been on my radar if not for this thread, my good man. You rock!

Enjoying one on the deck after my first mow of the season.
