Anyone have a good recipe for wine out of wild/mustang grapes? They grow everywhere here in Texas, a lot of the old timers around here used to or somewhat still make it. However, they are hesitant to share knowledge...Thanks.

Sound's like we may have found my problem! Thanks guys.

I saw honey as an option on the northern brewer website. Has anyone ever used honey to prime an oatmeal stout? What kind of flavor change do you think would occur?

Has anyone ever primed bottles with cane sugar? If so was there a difference in the taste? Good, Bad?

That is very curious. Yes, that is where I filled the bottles. I have never heard that more space allows for eruption. Do you know why that is? It still leaves me to wonder why all did not spew...

I may need new friends as well... I'm going to lean towards some bottles got more sugar than others, or that some bottles may have been infected. I thought I had thoroughly mixed my sugar, but its highly possible that I did not. I also did not detect any difference in taste among the spewing...

Yes all the bottle were cold, however, even ones that did not spew were chilled at the same temperature. The bottles stayed covered with a towel no where near a window or vent, so the sunlight could not have done it. This is why I thought this was a post worthy question, because it does not make...

I did bulk prime it, there were no evident signs of infection (e.g., bad taste, etc), and some had been in bottles for a while before I opened them. Also, about 50-75% were fine and did not spew at all.

Anyone got any good black IPA's brewed with extract recipes?

Anyone got any suggestions on what the best thing to use in order to prime an oatmeal stout for bottling? I typically use corn sugar for all my other beers, however, I'm looking to really get a complex flavor and I assume that the priming method can help with this. Any thoughts, suggestions, etc?

I have never had this happen before. I recently bottled my IPA, and about 50% of the bottles, when opened, spew like a coke that has been shaken up. I only filled the bottles to the base of the neck and primed with corn sugar. I'm not shaking them, and none exploded on their own, its just...

Anybody got any good recipes for a black IPA? I got a good suggestion from a fellow member to use oatmeal stout leftovers to make this. Any suggestions or leads will help. Thanks.

I have to say, I have never had that before. However, I may have to give it a try.

I have left over chocolate and crystal malt, weyerman roasted barley, and oatmeal leftover from an oatmeal stout. Any suggestions to what I can use it for next? (other than another oatmeal stout...).

Has anyone ever used virginia wild rye for brewing? The stuff grows everywhere in coastal Texas, has a nice seed head, and seems like it would be good for it. Just wondering if anyone has tried it.

Anyone ever added woodchips to an oatmeal stout? Any suggestions/comments/concerns?
