I understand where you are coming from completely. This is just one of many brewing books in my library. It may be a bit out dated, but hell, the recipe still makes a fantastic beer. Critiquing of the recipe aside, my goal here is just to convert it to all-grain. I've brewed the original extract...

The original recipe is Charlie Papazians. It is a very dark brown but falls inside category guidelines. According to my program, the black malt alone makes it around a 15 SRM Which is why i added the roasted barley. I may lower it to lighten the color a little bit, but its a pretty dark brown...

So I've made the move to All-Grain and that's almost all I'm doing now. I have one recipe that still uses extract so I'm looking to convert it. Here's what I came up with, I'm wondering if you guys can take a look at it and tell me if it looks right. 5 Gallon Batch Extract 6.6 lbs. Munton's...

It was Coastal Extreme Brewing Co. here in Rhode Island. Makers of Newport Storm Beer and Thomas Tew Rum. I'll have to hunt down this Hop episode as well. Haven't seen that one yet.

Naming my individual beers isn't a huge problem. I can name them after anything. Creating one "brand" name that will go on all the labels is a bit more difficult. I've looked into Brew Band Creative, and talked to Josh a couple times. Unfortunately without a brewery name I can't start thinking...

I agree Chief. I am currently aging a batch of mead, and before I had even bought the honey I had a name and label designed and ready to go. Unfortunately for my beer it's not as easy. I'm still stuck in coming up with a good name before I move on to the next step of logo and label. Hopefully...

Yeah I can see how it can be a bit confusing at first. I'm not a big fan of the tumblr layouts I've seen. I used a single column blog layout at first but there was too much empty space for my liking, so I switched to the layout you see now. Essentially the layout posts from L to R, newest to...

I've started a blog as well about 3 weeks ago. theartofhomebrewing.tumblr.com It's definitely fun, and as you said, may be more for myself than anyone else. I created a list of article topics that I plan on writing over the course of it's life. Hopefully this list, along with spur of the moment...

I recently decided to try catching wild yeast based on this thread. I only had a very little amount of DME on hand, which gave me a very low OG. After 1 week though I've seen growth, and the jar smells yeasty. I'll let it sit another week, but what's the best way to help the yeast grow. Should I...

Yes. I was actually at that competition stewarding. The Mini-BOS was because some categories had over 30 entries, this being one of them. So they would split the category up between a few pairs of judges, usually 3 pairs, so 6 judges. The category would be divided up between the pairs, each...

Love the look of your site. Very well done.

I just noticed your in Canada, if postal didn't have a problem with a dead, rotting mouse going through the mail customs might. Also the international shipping price may not be worth the trouble. Hopefully someone in Canada won't be grossed out, and will help you out.

I updated the link to http://theartofhomebrewing.tumblr.com to better flow with the blog title. Just so you know, amartinez's link will no longer send you to the homebrew blog, but a personal blog URL that will provide a link to the main blog. Just posting this to avoid any confusion.

Got a response from the Chairman of their club. He was very understanding and explained what happened. Here's the meat of the email:

How big is the carboy, and will you ship? (I'm not sure what postals rules are for shipping dead mice)

Shot off an email today. There were a few problems on top of losing points for chunky yeast. Horrible math, one score off 3 points. A HUGE disagreement between the two judges a 32 and a 40, and was given almost opposite results between the two (one said dry, one said too sweet, one too much...

Sweet! I'm posting fairly regularly at the start to try and keep people drawn in, and to post some stuff that isn't basic homebrewing. I'll probably limit myself to 1 - 2 posts a week after awhile though. I have a bank of ideas I've written down, but I don't want to blow through them all in a...

Thanks. I adjusted the links so they should work now. I forgot to include the "http://" I'm starting off easy for newer homebrewers, but I hope to get into semi-basic techniques like yeast starters, krausening your beer before bottling, my personal recipes, what to look for when tasting beer...

The Art of Homebrewing I have so much homebrewing ideas, questions, and ramblings running through my head I decided to write it down for the whole internet to see. My goal is to not only teach newcomers a thing or two, but also to document my own learning process. I'm starting off slow with...
