on the Stout, sounds good to drop the EKG...i'll up my bittering i went ahead and got 1084...i'll use it since i have it...but i'll make a note of it in beersmith to try some of the yeast you have used. thanks again for the thoughts on the styles! i can brew something hoppy, but while...

its been three weeks since i've been able to brew! its killing me. so let me run these recipe idea's by ya. first up...Stout 6gal batch size 7.5 lbs Maris Otter 1.20 lbs flaked Barley 1.20 lbs Carapils 0.90 lbs Roasted Barley 0.60 lbs Chocolate Malt 0.90 oz Centennial 9.6% for 60...

i saw on AHS they had a clone kit of it...haven't brewed it yet, so i cant tell you how close it is to the real stuff.

way to go! once your first one is all done, you'll be happy you've done it. but i'm going to go with The Pol on this one, what are you brewing?

looks great, never had an all EKG hopped beer...might have to give it a shot soon.

i like the hops and the times. i like Centennial for dry hopping. not sure but i think Munich malt has to be mashed, not just steeped? someone correct me if i'm wrong. as far as yeast....anymore i use dry yeast for PA/IPA's. but if you have a tube of WLP007, might as well go for it, is...

i'm about half and half, i've never brewed enough to keep up. i give 1/2 or 1/3 of my homebrew to friends. but now i'm brewing every few weeks and building a stock pile up that i hope will allow me to drink about 90% homebrew. but i dont think i'd ever stop buying commercial.

had it tonight...i had hope that when going out to bars, that if they didnt have SNPA i could fall back on this. sadly, looks like we'll just have to keep going to bars that have a decent selection, haha. the best part of trying it tonight, my girlfriend tried it and said she was happy she had...

funny, everytime i tell someone i brew beer i get that "he is a wacko" look anyway, haha. but will do, guess i better get off my lazy butt and give them a call tomorrow.

haha, will do. i should have time to call sometime this week.

hmmm, you pretty much have BBC, Cumberland, Brownings and New Albanian brewing company. i've been to the first three, but i hear good things about new albanian. I go to BBC often, but i dont care for their APA that much, never seen an IPA on tap there. Brownings has a good IPA and Cumberland...

ah...ok. THanks!

i've cut back. i just upgraded to AG when i bought my house in early spring. only thing that sucked was i put alot of my savings towards the house, then i jumped into all grain, and then some plumbing problems, then electircal problems...then a wicked windstorm that knocked a tree onto my...

http://www.louisvillewater.com/water_quality/ccr08.pdf well, i have no idea what i'm looking at here...so everyone how does this look. i mostly brew hoppy beers, but i also tend to brew browns, stouts, steam...you name it.

One area i really lack in my brewing is info about yeast. i'm planning on brewing an Irish red, and then do a Stout on the yeast cake, or wash the yeast (depending on when i brew the stout). would Wyeast British Ale 1098 be a good pick? I have a pack on hand, thats why i'm considering it...

i'll try my next batch in the lower 60's and see how it goes. need to bite the bullet and just get an extra freezer and put a temp control...oh then maybe some kegs, taps and a CO2 tank...haha.

when i was extract brewing, my beer seemed to have a funny taste, and after research and finding this site, seemed to be the extract twang everyone talks about. so when i bought a house, i went into all-grain. seems i still have about the same weird taste, kind of thing that the beer is still...

S05 is what i'd go with. i've been using it alot in my hoppy beers.

sucks about getting laid off. i work in a field related to automotive, so things are slow. i really hope things pick up after the election.

I also wouldn't write off a style of beer after not liking it one time. when i first got into drinking craft beers brown ales were what turned me. PA and IPA's were ok...not what i'd reach for if i had a choice. but now...its a different ball game all together. some beer styles i still dont...
