Thanks guys, that's just the reassurance I needed :)

I'm planning to brew tomorrow (Sat) and wanted to make a 1200ml starter from a 1272 smack pack when I got home from work today. However the Mrs informed me last night that we have company coming over and my brewing antics will not be welcome in the kitchen. So after some drunken thinking last...

Finally got around to kegging this a couple days ago. It's almost carbed up and already tasting awesome. I dry hopped with 1.5oz (leaf) for 5 days after primary, but didn't end up adding the serving keg hops. For now the amarillo is still smelling/tasting great, but I may end up dropping a...

Thanks for posting the recipe Tom. Looks really good, I'll be trying it out whenever the LHBS gets simcoe back in stock.

Thanks Seven but that was for the beer that Jake sent Tom, which was Yooper's Dogfish 60 minute clone (excellent beer, brewed it 3x already). Both Jake and Bobby seemed to like the recipe that Tom sent, and in one of the videos I think Tom mentions it is based on one of Jamil's pale ales. Part...

Still curious about the recipe used for this beer. Anyone know?

2nd Annual Beerfest and other related events. http://www.columbusbeerweek.org/ Yeah, I know it's short notice ;) SWMBO and I will be there Saturday, any other HBT members planning to attend?

I've actually considering doing that for the next batch to see if there really is a difference in the taste based on their yeast vs. WLP001. Seems like a lot of extra work though when I'm already happy with the results from WLP001. You can't go wrong either way, it's a great recipe.

Yes, from what I understand 1056/WLP001/US-05 are all Chico/Ballantine strains and are practically the same. But there's something about (most of) Sierra Nevada's brews that have a sort of yeasty bite to them that I don't really like. Maybe it's just the way they bottle condition, or maybe...

My grain bill is listed above, only difference is I used Vienna instead of Carapils. I did pretty much the same hop schedule but used Galena instead of the Chinook for dry hops. Not sure how much of a difference it made, sure it's awesome either way. This is the Mrs. favorite brew of mine to...

Not sure yet, I've been brewing more than I can drink lately (didn't think that could happen) so this has been in primary since 5/1. I plan to keg it tonight or tomorrow, but have to make some room in the kegerator before I'll know how it fared. A friend from Indiana was kind enough to bring...

I had several of these over the weekend and it's fantastic. It smells exactly like raspberries, but not too much and the taste has a nice tart finish that keeps you coming back for more. This isn't going to last long!

Just kegged my first batch of this last night. I upped the malts for a 5.25 gallon batch and used a little over 3lbs of frozen raspberries in the primary after about a week. Then let it sit for 10 days. OG - 1.051, FG 1.012. This ended up a lovely rose color, more pinkish red than I was...

Can anyone point me to the recipe Tom used? I skimmed this thread and have watched the videos... is keeping it secret till the reveal part of the experiment?

@TomHanx - I find it mildly amusing that the picture you used has a big Miller Lite banner in the background. Like most, I enjoyed the film. I thought the Moonshot chick was a ******, and I was disheartened/surprised by how many smaller breweries got bought or put out of business by...

I usually use a stopper, but a universal bung for a glass carboy (inverted) works really well too. and check this out if you have perlicks - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f41/bottling-wand-perlick-525-75-aka-bowie-bottler-228344/

This may have been said before, but sometimes it's just a bad bottle. If you're reusing bottles (or even buying new for that matter) always hold them up to a light to see if there are any imperfections or areas of glass that look more thin than they should. There's a picture of bottle like...

Brewed this on 5/1/11 Ended up mashing at 152 and forgot to take a OG reading (too many brews while brewing), but based on my pre-boil I figure I was pretty close to target. My amarillo's were around 11%, so I had to make some hops adjustments. Also, they smelled really spicy which I don't...

I'm about to keg my second batch of this. The first one was outstanding. I did a blind taste test with SWMBO and we both agreed the clone was better than the original. I think it had something to do with the yeast (not a big fan of Chico) and probably the freshness / dry hopping factor...

Thinking about brewing this tomorrow or next weekend, and was wondering if anyone had feedback or suggestions on this recipe. I'm using #3 tweaked for a 5.25 gallon batch. In particular, I'm curious about the WLP001 - which I've used before, but was expecting this recipe to call for a wheat...
