They are only allowing 20 entries in the competition. The club has approx 60 members (and climbing) so chances are it will be judged by other homebrewers that did not enter. Good point on the no useful feedback though. The cool thing is that it is THE 1st competition they are running. Braggers...

Quick Update.... It's still a 24- 12 oz bottle (or equivalent in keg, growler, 22oz) competition. They are using the 1st 100 people that walk into the brewery to be judges... so it's a popularity competition instead of a true to form competition. I'm not sure where I stand on this. On one hand...

Yes... my wife is rightfully mad. I'm mad at myself too but she controls the extra curriculars. Yes, both fermenters are ported 6g buckets. I like them. It's super easy to clean is the most important part. That and transfers/bottling ect is so much easier than siphoning. Thanks again for all...

Thanks for the feed back everyone... I'm glad I could provide some comic relief today. I really like the cool brew idea. I looked at fishing coolers/ fish bags ect that were large enough to fit my fermenter in but they were a couple hundred bucks each. No way. This is small enough and flexible...

My wife is threatening me with bodily harm and no sex if I don't fix my brewing set up. Please Help!!! So here's the readers digest version.... I brewed a batch a while back and overtightened my ported spigot and had some beer dribble out on our hardwood floors... I didn't catch it for a...

Hey folks. I need to pick a few brains here. My local brewery has decided to 1, form a homebrew club. But more importantly, 2, they have decided to host a homebrew competition to it's members. They are still working out the details of the competition but it is scheduled for April of this...

Just a follow up.... I ended up drinking the pump king as I was brewing and added the remaining 6oz to the boil for the last 5 min. I didn't recognize that flavor in mine. I'm sure more would have made more of a difference. Turns out I went a little heavy on my hops and it turned out more like...

So how much priming sugar would you recommend for "optimal" carbonation?

Just catching up on the other replies. Jonmohno, this is what I was thinking. just a bit at the end to give a hint of pumpkin. Like I said in my prev post though, I'm sticking with the recipe and only using the spices this time around. Oh and I wouldn't be wasting such a good beer...I'd be...

I guess I was taking more of a hop addition approach in that the last 15min of the boil I would add a few ounces of the ST Pumpking. I like the flavor of the fall seasonals/pumpkins ect but didn't want to have my head ripped off or get smacked in the face with an overly pumpkin flavor. Being my...

I'm making my first pumpkin ale right now and I had an idea. it could be good or it could be the worst thing I've ever thought of...you tell me. I don't want it to be overwhelming PUMPKIN, but more of a fall seasoning with a tiny hint of pumpkin. Can I add some of Southern Tier's Pumpking...

Just wanted to drop a line to say hello to the boards. I'm a newbie home brewer in the Wake Forest area of NC. I just ditched my MR.Beer and have put 1 round through a 6.5g bucket, an amber ale. #2 is a Magic Hat #9 clone siting in secondary and will bottle on Sunday. Next on deck is a pumpkin...

Why scroll to the bottom?!?! That's all fantastic info! Thanks!

Was there any updates to this thread? Yes there are other threads out there that cover a wide range of fruit additions but this one specifically addresses the AHS Clone recipe. I'd love some advice from someone that has used this particular kit before. Was the entire amount of apricot extract...
