    First time All-grain BIAB, with photos

    So my OG was 1.052 before fermentation; The Brewbuilder on Brewmasterswarehouse.com was estimating 1.059. FG was way off though; 1.029 actual, 1.015 expected. I will say tho, even uncarbonated, this beer is mighty tasty. I'll be looking at a yummy 3.2% ABV session beer at worst, which ain't...

    Twains' Brewpub Good & Lonesome Amber Ale clone

    So it sounds like one of those happy accidents. So here's my attempt at a recipe. I'm not really comfortable toasting my own oats since I'm pretty new at this, so I threw in 4 oz of 300L roasted barley to see if that would get me the coffee notes that I'm looking for. Check it out: Briess...

    Twains' Brewpub Good & Lonesome Amber Ale clone

    Twains' Brewpub Good & Lonesome Amber Ale clone

    So, I tried this ale at Twains in Decatur GA a couple months ago. I hadnt tried many amber ales before then, but I had this as part of a 8-brew sampler tray and fell in LOVE. It was this toasty, amber, not too sweet but SMOOTH ale with a hint of a roasty coffee flavor. I've got an amber ale in...

    Brewing down south

    Well, Im not that experienced, but I'm here in GA, and I have my fermenter sitting in a plastic tub in some cool water with a wet-t-shirt over the fermenter bucket. I aim a little fan on it and that keeps my temp just below 70 on most summer days.

    I was gonna say Beezy, you might want to come up with a different plan than mine! I hope it will taste good, it sure did smell great. Tasted a little from my hydrometer sample and it was yummy.

    First time All-grain BIAB, with photos

    SO anybody have any thoughts on what the temperature extremes will do to the final product? OG was 1.052, so well within style for an amber ale.

    Thanks Stud, thats good advice. I was stirring and checking for doughballs about every 15 mins, guess I need to bump up the frequency there.
