Yes, Sierra Nevada style 12oz bottles are my favorite. Thanks for checking.

I'm tempted, as we get through Rochester pretty frequently travelling to see inlaws in MSP. Unfortunately, it's with 3 kids and a minivan full of crap... I do love those short bottles though. If you don't mind holding for a bit longer, I'll talk to my wife and see when we are planning to head...

sour is on my list next, something tart and refreshing for summer lawnmowing. recipe to share?

5g Irish Red = 1173

this is a really old thread but is the best recipe I've used to date. It works equally well for steeping grains (extract brewers) or the regular stuff from the mash tun. While I compost most of my spent grain (or just rake it into the lawn in the low spots during the summer) I always save...

Got the chance to brew yesteeyes despite having a cold and working on the car. I use a partigyle calculator so I know what gravity each of my batch sparges are MOL. I did 10.5 gallons of Rye KY Common and the second runnings (1st batch sparge with 14 qts water) we're predicted to be 1.029 after...

Yesterday I brewed. Had the pot going while I worked on the car in the garage. Today I: Pitched US05 in 5 gallons of Rye KY Common. Pitched s-23 in 5 gallons of Rye KY Common. Pitched US05 in 3 gallons of Rye pale cream ale whatever... Gonna get dry hopped with a bunch of Citra. Tonight I'll...

Did a 10 gallon batch yesterday, pitched US05 in one, s-23 lager yeast in the other, steam beer style. I also did a bit of a partigyle and used the 2nd runnings (1st batch sparge) for a rye pale ale... thing. Will be dry hopped with a bunch of Citra, 2-3oz for the 3 gallons. I find I like the...

Now's about the time year I brew big beers for next winter, and I'm running low on my last RIS. This may be on the short list. Thanx op for the recipe.

Funny, those are the exact ingredients I'm waiting for, 11 gallon batch two different yeast. US05 and s-23 lager yeast for a side by side. It'll be my " working in the yard" beer theough the spring, if it lasts that long.

Unfortunately my ingredients we're delayed by the weather, so I will have to wait until the next warm spell here in eastern Iowa.

I've used crabapple for pork and chicken, works well. We have a monstrosity of a crabapple tree in our yard. The wood is generally too knotty for carving so I use it for smoke. It's like apple apple mixed w a little cherry, I think. Stronger, sharper taste than straight apple or cherry, not as...

looks great, I've made homemade ginger beer in the past with varying results. I'll have to try this one next!

Trying 1 gallon of this now. 1 g cider, 1 cup Sugar. 1068 down to1048 in 3 days.

I batch sparge as well and never worry about pH or tannin extraction. I always keep the grain bed below 170F, double batch sparge most times, and has never been a problem. I brew with 5 gallons RO water and whatever tap water I need to make up the balance. Never got a water test or played with...

Ingredients for12 gallon batch of Rye KY Common, New thermometer, and bottle caps. Now I just need it to be above freezing for awhile to brew!

Bump. Noone? I've also been reading up on Larsblog about oven mashing for traditional russian farmhouse ales. I know it's done, but have never seen it here on the forum or discussed anywhere stateside... http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/

I'm down to my last two bottles for this year, definitely a tasty beer, and one the SWMBO enjoys. I think I'll have to give the homebrew a try...
