Rogue Dead Guy Ale- reviewing for beeradvocate.com

I'm planning on starting with Midwest Supplies Oatmeal Stout recipe kit, wyeast, and adding lactose sugar to try and achieve my goal of cloning Brau Bros Moo Joos Oatmeal Milk Stout. I'm curious if anyone has brewed this kit from midwest, if anyone has cloned this beer, or has any...

Bottled on 2/24. Only got 1 case+7 bottles. Lots of trub in primary, and dry hopping seemed to eat a lot of volume. came out right around 3 gallons. I was kinda bummed out, but abv is at 6.02% and it looked, smelled, and tasted great. Can anyone explain why I could be having volume loss...

I tested the gravity after 4 and 6 days and it was 1.010 consistently. It puts me at 6%abv. I racked it and dry hopped right away and will bottle after 8 days. The taste and color are perfect, and the aroma was right, but not as pungent as I'm hoping for- which dry hopping should fix. I...

This is an old thread, but I figured I'd see if anyone would like to follow up on it. I just picked up this kit. I've been brewing for a year now, and all my 5 gallon batches have been from Northern Brewer. I've had some issues with my orders, so I'm testing some other companies out. I was...

Brewed on 2/10 without any problems. I changed the hop additions to the previously stated clone. temperature was perfect for pitching and the wyeast 1056 was as inflated as it can get. 12 hours and lots of air lock activity. My question now is with the 1.5oz Cascade that i'm going to dry hop...

I just checked and the clone recipe and NB recipe use the same grain bill, so that's cool. The only thing i'm doing different is using gold malt syrup instead of pale and a full pound of DME instead of half.

I'm thinking about brewing this for spring. how did it turn out? would you recommend it?

I am going to follow the hop recommendations previously stated, I'm going to add 1lb of DME at 20 minutes, and go with northern brewer's specialty grain bill. I'm also going to add 1/3 of the malt at the beginning, and the rest at the last 20 minutes. I've had a lot of problems with color...

very cool- thanks for the input guys. i'm ordering my ingredients this week so i'll do a little more digging and let you all know what I decide.

that's why I brewed it. I knew there was some way that AB has infused clamato in the can, and my lady loves her grain belt with clamato.

doing some calculating has shown me that i will have to add an extra 1oz of cascade (roughly 5.75% AA) to the bittering addition to get it to around 45 IBUs- which is where summit is at. Now, If I add another pound of Light DME to the boil, that will increase my gravity, and lower my IBU. I...

I brewed Northern Brewer's Bravarian Dunkel Lager at 50 degrees for a month and it was a great beer. It's was more ***** Modelo than Schell's Dark, but I like it.

I think I will give it 4 weeks secondary, just because I like what I've read about secondary and it makes me feel good. I don't use secondary for every batch, but if the instructions call for it, I practice my patience by waiting the maximum amount. Dry hopping with 2 ounces seems excessive...

i'm thinking about brewing this to be ready for spring http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/extra-pale-ale-extract-kit.html I've read a lot of review saying people added a pound of DME or dry hopped with an ounce of citra, cascade, etc. Just curious if anyone has brewed this, modified...

Talk about a disaster. So I brewed this drunk, went with the S-05 yeast rehydrated, pitched it waaaay too hot. Killed the yeast completely. After two weeks, a friend gave me a vial of German Lager Yeast, so I put it in the fridge after pitching that. It's fermenting for sure, but it tastes...

I did end up doing the Northern Brewer Bravarian Dunkel, 5 gallon extract, for the wedding. I kept the temp too cold during primary- around 50 degrees. Racked it after two weeks and was at about 1%abv. After a month of sitting though- i got to almost 5%, and it tasted good. Primed with table...

http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter7-4.html ice is okay- but store bought isn't recommended. sanitize your vessel, boil the water, and if adding ice to the fermenter in a containter, sanitize the outside before adding. everybody's practices are different. everyone thinks they're an...

awesome! thank you very much! i'm gonna order the ingredients next week so I'll let you all know how it goes!

i'm thinking Saflager S-23 Lager Yeast might be the way to go. here's the link: http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/saflager-s-23-dried-lager-yeast.html being that it's a 2 gallon batch- i'll just use half the pack and come up with some other 2 gallon lager to burn up the rest of it with...
