Nut'n Cheddar Brown Ale. Turned out pretty good, although you may want to add an entire sandwich if you want the processed cheese to really shine through.

What is the reason for doing two separate tinctures? Better extraction of flavor?

My 3yo son threw half of a grilled cheese sandwich in at flameout. Brewing outside I will occasionally get a fly or bee in my mash tun.

Brewed a Belgian dark strong ale 151+ 4 = 155

I just made a porter that had the same problem, I had a pH meter fuzz out on me while adjusting water/mash and long story short I added way more latic acid/gypsum than I needed. Noticeable acid/tartness in taste but not too unpleasant. Any idea if the acidity will mellow out with time? I feel...

Welcome from Stark County

I think Northern Brewer would be a good one with this recipe; liberty, crystal, mt hood would also be nice. If it were me, i would save amarillo for an amber that was more caramel-ly and malty.

Made some chicken noodle soup and decided to spice it up, with half a ghost pepper. It definitely warms your soul

Agree with others.. what did you use to prime (table sugar, DME, etc) and amount much? Did you get a good mix when adding priming solution? What is the temp where the bottles are conditioning? Also, was the wine-y taste some what of a green apple taste?

A little late on the introduction here, I believe I joined group in August but I have been stalking the site for much longer... Anyways, Greetings from Akron/Canton area of Ohio!

Going to do a chocolate porter, after primary i think i am going to rack a gallon onto a habanero or one of the other peppers we grew this year.

lol That was weird...

I personally use the calculator and measure by weight so I have some control over my desired CO2 volumes, but mostly so I don't over prime. Does "a little bit more than usual 3/4 cup" mean a few pinches more or like 1 cup, if the latter, you may be at 3.5 volumes or more. It really depends on...

If you want to create level surface on the uneven area, buy a bag of quickrete and make a pad. If you don't wet it too much, you really don't even need to build forms, just need 2x4 or something smooth it.

There are two kinds of days; those you need to end with a beer and those you need to start with a beer.
