What kind of glue are you using? This site is great, by the way...looking forward to updates! :mug:

Go here: http://brooklynbrewshop.com/themash/category/spentgrainchef/ The blueberry cobbler with ice cream was fantastic, and the veggie burgers were hands down the best I'd ever eaten - even if you're not vegetarian, give them a try - they were amazing! I tried Barley & Chocolate Peanut...

I've seen that this is an age old question - to secondary or not to secondary. I've done four batches on my own, and racked each one to a secondary carboy - only one have I added extra goodies (bourbon + oak chips), though... Racking to a carboy for secondary was how I was taught on from a...

:rockin: Rock and roll. Let me know how it turns out! Also, I've upped my brewing schedule based on feed back from this thread and this GLBC Christmas Ale thread to the following: Sept 29 - Brew Day Oct 13 - Rack to Secondary Oct 27 - Bottle That'll give it at least six weeks in...

Any advice as to a time-frame on this one, by chance? Here's what I was thinking: Oct 27 - Brew Day + Into Primary Nov 10 - Rack to Secondary Nov 24 - Bottle They should be "technically" ready around Dec 8 (after 2 weeks in bottle), right, BUT Dec 15th / Dec 22nd would probably make them...

Are you recommending over 3 months in total? (All of Sept + Oct + Nov + into December)? I'm still fairly new to brewing, but, I've been using the following schedule (and planned to do so for the my Christmas Ale which is very similar... Oct 27 - Brew Day + Into Primary Nov 10 - Rack to...

I was thinking of using a micro-plane and grating them into the kettle...any thoughts for / against this method? I know it'll turn the ginger into more of a liquid-pulp, for sure....that should be a good thing, though, right?

I second The Andersons...tons of variety...definitely need to go there...

Interestingly enough, I just noticed the details of this recipe. I've solicited feedback on a similar - very similar - Christmas Ale clone from a Columbus brewery in this Thread: Barley's Christmas Ale Clone 10.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US 1.00 lb Crystal Malt - 80L 1.00 lb Honey 0.25 lb...

I read the following on this site: Wyeast 1968 London ESB = WLP002 English Ale = Fullers' Yeast Fullers' Yeast is what they recommended, which is how I ended up with the 1968.

I actually emailed the recipe into my brew pub, and they gave some advice here and there, leaving me with the following recipe - I also scaled back on the hop schedule to make it a little easier: 10.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US 1.00 lb Crystal Malt - 80L 1.00 lb Honey (flame out) .25 lb...

What do you think about adding some Molasses to that recipe as well? Or is that going too far? How much if not? :D

Barley's responded, saying Charlie Papazian's Holiday Cheer was very similar - from research online: 7 lbs. light malt extract 1 lb honey 1/2 lb Crystal 60L 2 oz black patent 2 oz Cascade Hops (60 minutes) 1 oz Saaz Hops (2 minutes) flaked ginger 6-inches stick cinnaon zest from 4 oranges...

One of my local brew pubs (Barley's Brewing Company - Columbus, OH) puts out a fantastic Christmas Ale every year. It was also one of the first true craft beers that I ever had, so, it holds a special place in the ol' cockles (or is it subcockles?) of my heart... They have, and who knows how...

Their wall appears to be down on FB (gee, I wonder why?), but I commented anyway. I tweeted a few times on their Twitter account to tell them how awesome Ticketmaster is, too. :sigh: I know it's not directly their fault, but, they need to have a more reliable system to let the people in who...

Excellent! Cheers!

The family is heading to FL for a week - any advice on good beer down there? Thanks in advance! :mug:

Thanks! They only took about five minutes, which is why a) they are a little sloppy and b) I only did six of them.... :cross:

Whelp, it took me a few months longer than anticipated, but, I bottled my first brew over the past weekend! :rockin: I only labeled a few, but here's what I came up with... :mug:

It does feel "scratchy" when I run my nails over the spots as compared to the surrounding glass - I've been doing some scrubbing with some vinegar (best acid I had) and it looks like most of it has come off - so I'm thinking it's all external from sliding around on our tan ceramic tile floor -...
