    Blue Moon Clone

    I'm 98% sure that the last bottle of peel I got was online, but I've also seen it locally. If I find a reliable source, I'll be sure to post it; if all else fails, I'm sure that one of us can send you some. :mug:

    Blue Moon Clone

    I checked, and it does appear to be in stock on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/McCormick-Gourmet-California-Lemon-Peel/dp/B0004N14D0/ref=sr_1_1_sspa Note - the link defaults to "Lemon," but you can toggle Valencia Orange Peel. I have not found a better ingredient than this, and hope that it...

    New post a picture of your pint

    I finished off the last of my Earl Grey Pale Ale the other night; here's a photo of one of the glasses that we poured: I tried to do some evaluating of the beer this time around, and I still give it extremely high marks. The tea came through well, the malts were very much to my liking, and...

    Best Craft Beer of the Month Club

    I know that this is an extremely old thread, but I signed up with these guys toward the end of last year and have really been enjoying their beer so far: https://craftbeerclub.com/ The customer service has been outstanding, as well. If anyone is inclined to try this, either as a gift or as...

    My Beer Exploded

    I'm guessing that it will ultimately be fine, even if it doesn't turn out precisely perfect due to the higher temperature. In the meantime, Google "blow-off tube." :mug:

    What is a good dry yeast for porter?

    I'll be brewing two porters soon, a Rum-Barrel Porter and a Chocolate-Covered Pretzel Porter. What would be the one or two top-recommended dry yeasts to use? Thanks in advance - Ron

    New post a picture of your pint

    Hi, DH - I did exactly that, yes; I racked from primary (after cold-crashing) directly into the keg, then force-carbed it. It worked pretty well and I found it to be quite user-friendly. In my opinion it is more convenient than bottling, and the final product is at least as good as when...

    earl grey pale ale: tips and advice welcome

    I tried it, adding two bags of Earl Grey that we brought back from Australia right at knock-out (this was for a 1-gallon batch). The grainbill itself was a pre-packaged mix from Brooklyn Brew Shop, but the Earl Grey spin on it was mine, so I was just winging it. The mix came with Nugget hops...

    1-Gallon Brewers UNITE!

    Well, I am pretty impressed with this uKeg, from Growlerwerks, and with my latest 1-gallon brew: an Earl Grey Tea Pale Ale. Three days after kegging the beer, it was ready to pour. I got a little more foam than I expected, and the beer was a little bit hazier than I expected; however, I am 95%...

    Brooklyn Brew Shop's Rose-Cheeked and Blonde

    Since my post above, I've tried this beer once again and currently have a bottle left. It continues to be a great beer and I am enjoying it quite a bit. At this most recent tasting, I had a better chance to evaluate the carbonation level; in my opinion, it is just fine in that regard, and I...

    GrowlerWerks uKeg

    After a few days of cold-crashing, I kegged my Earl Grey Pale Ale last night, 22 February 2018. This was my first time using my 1-gallon "uKeg," which I purchased from GrowlerWerks through Brooklyn Brew Shop: https://brooklynbrewshop.com/collections/accessories/products/growlerwerks-ukeg The...

    Brooklyn Brew Shop's Green Tea Pale Ale with Earl Grey Substitute - Tips and Advice

    I bought a 1-gallon sized keg recently (more on that, in another post, I hope!), so I won't be bottling this batch; however, continuing my tradition of creating a label for each batch of beer I brew, here is the one that I came up with for this ale: The ship pictured above, the Dunbar (not to...
