I'm in, thank you!

This looks very similar to what I am thinking about doing. Re-use as much of my current setup as possible with possible upgrade to a larger pot if necessary. I plan on using my SS Brewtech 15G Kettle, riptide pump and other parts as a eBIAB setup. I keep going back and forth on a basket or...

Yambor44 and cubsfan16 - thanks for the feedback on your experience with the HG system. I'm leaning toward modifying my 15G SSBrewtech kettle vs getting the fully system. Since I have a Riptide pump, bag, hoses, quick connectors, kettle. It sounds like I need the element, controller, false...

Sounds like they made some improvements over what is advertised on their website? Curious how the SsBrewtech pot works with the basket? I see the bayou kettle has a lip for the basket to sit in. How did they solve that with the Brewtech kettle?

Awesome, been considering this similar setup for my brew house. Looked like you were considering the upgrade to a SS Brewtech kettle. Curious why you didn't end up going with the Brewtech kettle.

Could be Old Burnside Brewing. They do a lot with Scottish themes and have some swords that bars display frequently. Haven't heard of patrons buying them.

Mine turned out pretty darn close as well. Hop aroma and flavors where a bit different between mine and the bottle I had from founders. I suspect since Founders didn't taste as bright as it did when I had it before that mine was just fresher. The color and aroma and flavors where right on...

I haven't asked recently. When I asked at one of the stores I thought I was going to get shown the door, he seemed very defensive, I gathered he had answered that question many times over. Needless to say I don't usually shop there any longer. The other store politely explained that was the...

The local shop is convenient for me. I typically by all my supplies except for bulk grain there. I was purchasing all my bulk grain from NCM and they do rock! I could get a 55lb sack of Maris Otter for $57 delivered to my door at the two local home brew shops they were asking $83-87 for the...

Pretty much doing the above recipe with a slightly lower mash temp and a touch more bittering and a little less on the flavor and aroma. This isn't a beer I can get in CT but I was lucky enough to get a couple six packs when I was out of state recently and really look forward to having...

I'd be in for a couple of sacks as well anytime in the next 3 months is fine with me.

Took a look at my brew this weekend as I was brewing a porter that I may blend into the old ale and after my last sample I've got a decent pellicle going. Must have exposed the brew to enough O2 during the quick sample I pulled two weeks ago to actually get a pellicle going. Should I leave...

I only ever had a small pellicle on mine. I brewed a smoked porter that I used this yeast on. It went from 1.084 to 1.006. I tasted this last week and it was nice and tart and had some dark fruit flavors with OVER THE TOP cherry flavors! I'll be brewing another porter to blend into this one...

One of my favorites as well. I haven't yet tried this recipe but I have a similar peat smoked porter brew that was also a big hit with everyone that tried it.

The two times I've use the hop I LOVED it. I am going to be using it a lot more and likely subing it any place I would have used cascade. I did a Nugget Nectar clone with it and a IPA with and really enjoyed both. I checked my LHBS and they didn't have any the other day or I'd use it in my...

To follow up on my results. The was one of the quickest beers I've kicked. Everyone really liked it and it seemed to go back and forth between citrus and piney flavors. I can't wait to brew this up with the correct grist ratios and nugget hops. The brews I've done with Palisade I've been...

I also have a bottle of this kicking in my fridge. Excited to try it now that I read your comments. Please do post back a recipe if you get one that comes out similar. I think you'd be able to just soak some bourbon in oak and add that to the beer to get the right flavors. I don't think...

Cheers from Manchester.

Welcome! I'm in Manchester, CT. I've meet / brewed with a bunch of CT folks at this point. We'll have to get a group brew day going at some point. Missed the May 2nd Big Brew myself.

Don't have any NN to compare to the recipe I brewed but from memory the recipe I used with Millenium hops substituted for nugget hops isn't the same brew. It is however one of the hoppiest favorite IPAish beers I've ever brewed. I'll be doing this recipe again with the correct ratio's of grain...
