Two Brothers Cane & Ebel, hands down my favorite when fresh on tap. Pretty good in bottles, too - equal to Founder's in bottles.

You're right. It's an English Brown. This is still petty cool, though. http://www.bjcp.org/2008styles/style11.php#1c

American Beer is good. One of those documentaries that makes you think "Man... I wish I could do that!" Five guys travel by minivan across the United States from New York west, visiting 38 craft and independent breweries in 40 days. Netflicks has it.

I used to buy Catamount beer quite often until it went away around the turn of the century.:( The recipe posted looks to me to need some Black Patent malt to give it that roasty flavor I remember Catamount (and many robust porters for that matter) having. ~3% is sufficient. Galena and Nugget...

Yeah, was a good time, for sure! Hoping to see everyone - and more - on Oct. 14th.

Yes! Tonight at 7pm. Ask the hostess to direct you to the homebrew club meeting.

Rager, b/c the majority of recipes listed in magazines, etc. use that. I had Tenseth as my BeerSmith default, then changed it. Seemed to give me more consistency. It's easy enough to switch back & forth if you find one recipe uses a different formula. And that's all it is is a formula. One...

Umm.... no, they weren't. That would be The Beatles - The Fab Four. Not the Pre-Fab four.

For me, it's Rush, hands down. Another one I'll toss out - Def Leppard. I should like them b/c they are all about my age, they play AC/DC-style pounding, simplistic music, but they come off as week. And the screaming-in-harmony vocals are awful. BTO could pull of the screaming-in-harmony...

Just a reminder that this is this Thursday, Sept 9th!

Brewing one tomorrow that uses none. It's in my 'Recipe' drop down. This will be the third year in a row. This year I'm using 50/50 Munich/Golden Promise and adding toasted oats, lactose powder and a vanilla bean in secondary, just for something different.

Five gallons of Pumpkin Ale tomorrow. Using 50/50 Munich/Golden Promise and adding toasted oats, lactose powder and a vanilla bean in secondary, just for something different. Sunny and 68oF - first <75oF high we've had in weeks. Should be perfect brewing weather.

I have a special place in my heart for

Yes, I did. It was pretty close. Kostritzer had a mellower chocolate and coffee flavor, ~10%-15%, which I chalked up to age on the Kosti. I plan to brew 10 gals. of this again in a couple of months. I'll compare the two again when I put the second keg on tap, which should have some age on it...

It's good, for sure. Believe it or not, if you can find it on tap (can't speak for the green bottle version) Beck's is surprisingly good. Not out of this world, but better than I would ever have suspected. I was at a local O'fest a few years ago and they had four O'fests on tap, one of which...

O'fest is one of my 'top 3' favorite styles. I had SA O'fest on tap Friday night at an Applebee's, of all places.:rolleyes: Was pretty good, but had a slight tobacco finish, most likely from dark crystal malts. Still, pretty tasty. I like Goose Island's Harvest Ale and would like to try...

Looking forward to this! I have an O'fest and IPA I will likely bring along.

I don't know why Jamil used WLP013 on this. You really need Wyeast 1318 London Ale Yeast III. That is the yeast Flossmoor Station uses on this and there is no direct White Labs equivalent. I've brewed my own version of Pullman Brown before with two different before talking to Matt Van Wyk and...
