So, I've made a several batches now, but never really fooled with a yeast starter. I've been planning to brew today to use my brand new wort chiller, so last night i took the smack pack out of the fridge and gave it a wallop. I boiled 2qts of water and added 8oz of light DME. Didn't wait for the...

Here's to you you and and here's to me. Best friends may we always be. But if we should ever disagree, f*** you. Here's to me!

Dry hopped my test batch of English IPA today. 1.5 oz of EKG stewing for 10 days. The hydrometer samples are tasty! By the way, what are we shooting for as a ship date?

one of each for me as well

I've had Marble beers from ABQ, and delicious! Don't know anything about the brewery. Also, check out Nexus in ABQ.

in my opinion, recipes are what you right down AFTER you brew (or cook), not something you use before you start!

waiting for my kettle to boil now for an english ipa right now. if this recipe turns out to be a good one, it'll be the one i'll brew in early september with honey and ginger to send to you guys!

i've enjoyed tallgrass, from kansas. and great guys brewing the beer too!

Been thinking about the Honey Ginger IPA.The recipe says to ad 2lbs of honey to the secondary. Adding sugar at that point would just restart fermentation. Why not just add it to the primary?

another solution might be to install a ceiling fan in the garage. a little breeze makes it hard for small bugs to hang around. it helped with the mosquitoes on my porch.

When I bartended, we sometimes had problems. Pouring a bleach solution down sink and floor drains always helped, and check for bits of junk in the bottom of the trash can, under the bag. Anything fruity or yeasty will draw them.

bio, thanks for pm'ing the "recipe"! sounds like i have a lot of room to create, which I am excited about. IPA is my favorite style, which is why i signed up to brew one. Just sent an APA to secondary last night. Gonna run at a traditional british IPA next and refine my flavor. As i know that...

Sign me up! I'm a novice brewer but my batches have been turning out well. I followed the thread last year and really wanted to taste everyone's contributions. I'll do the honey ginger IPA as long as you don't mind extract+steeped grain. Could you post the recipe?

I have 2 oz of northern brewer to add at 60 mins and 1 oz of cascade to add at ??? I can get some yeast but not till tomorrow at the earliest. I plan on adding the yeast i have tonight and if nothing happens, to pick up or order some more later. Adding more yeast won't hurt if the first batch is...

So right now I'm sitting on the porch while grains are steeping in the turkey fryer. The recipe is Papazian's palilalia, and since I'm brewing beer, and drinking beer, i figured i might as well read about beer. A few quick questions though. 1. I got the ingredients a about 2 months ago and...

I finished reading Charlie P's Complete Joy of Homebrewing earlier this week and place an order with Midwest for ingredients to make Palilalia IPA. I tweaked the recipe just a bit, using beercalculus.hopville.com aiming for his stated 50 IBUs. This morning, I was reading a little more and...

I've slowly been making my way through John Palmer's How to Brew and received Charlie Papazian's Joy of Homebrewing for Christmas, which I also have not yet finished. But I've been itching to giving brewing a shot, so I went to my local brewing supply shop the other day and set myself up with a...
