    Can this brown ale be cloned?

    Rabbit Hole Rapture is what I’m trying for. It’s a staple for them that is found in stores, but on the website it only lists a mystic Rapture that may be a coffee version. It’s by far my favorite brown I’ve had and when poured in a frozen mug it’s almost like a dessert.

    Can this brown ale be cloned?

    The hop flavor is mostly bitter. I don’t get any fruity flavors from the yeast. It could be an American style with an English yeast, but not sure.

    Can this brown ale be cloned?

    I don’t know the OG or SRM, but you may be right about the brewery giving it. It has more body than most browns, rich chocolate malty flavor with a slightly hoppy finish. May be closer to a stout than a brown, but is labeled a brown.

    Can this brown ale be cloned?

    I’d like to try and clone my favorite local brown ale. I’m not experienced enough with brewing sw to know if what I’m putting in is correct. This is a fusion of English and American brown ales. Abv: 6.4% IBU: 33 Grains: Pilsner, brown malt, chocolate malt, and crystal 65 Hops: Columbus, East...

    Show us your Kegerator

    I finished this one up last week. I’ve made a few small changes since then, but am very happy with it. It’s so much better than my old Haier kegerator that I was squeezing three kegs into.

    Show us your Kegerator

    Part of me wants to say how much I like it, the other wants to say you suck! It’s gonna be awesome. Wish I had the skills.

    Over carbing: bottle vs keg

    That’s what I was thinking, thanks. I’m getting ready to brew the same beer that it happened last time, but kegging instead.

    Over carbing: bottle vs keg

    Since I'm fairly new to kegging I was wondering about over carbonation as it relates to fermenting. I have over carbonated beer I bottled due to the fermentation not complete. It was bottled and primed normal, but resulted in gushers. It's actually only happened once and have since switched to...

    Northern Brewers Nut Brown

    I think the caribou slobber was much better than the nut brown. The NB had too thin of a body for me, but wasn't bad by any means.

    Beer shanks and temp controller help

    Would 7/8 or 15/16 be best to drill for shank hole in fridge door?

    Beer shanks and temp controller help

    Good advice. I’ll likely go with 5 1/8” shanks. I’ll be running bev seal ultra lines. I’m not sure how I’ll rout them yet to avoid kinking due to the stiffness. If anyone has any pics or suggestions on running these lines in a fridge I’m all ears.

    Beer shanks and temp controller help

    I'm switching over from a small commercial Haier kegerator that I could never get to work well to a refrigerator kegerator. I've researched shanks and want to make sure before I buy. Are 4" shanks the correct length to go through the door of the fridge? I've considered 5 1/2" to be safe, but...

    Kegerator coils freezing up

    I put a bright light inside and close the door. I found I had a noticeable gap on the door seal that is likely allowing it to draw in warm air. Now I just need to figure a way to seal it.

    Kegerator coils freezing up

    I purchased a used Haier kegerator to get started into kegging. The only thing I have done was swap out the single tower for a triple tower. I can just squeeze three cornies in it, but the door closes fine. I noticed they got cold initially, but slowly warmed as the coils built up ice. I thawed...

    Is double crush a waste of time?

    Were you getting your grains crushed at the place in Carrolton? If you don't mind me asking.

    Extract Twang? How to Combat It

    There's a lot of good info in this thread. I've also started adding LME late as well. I have been wondering though. If a recipe calls for a hop addition at flameout, would there be any issue by adding LME and hops at the same time? Also regarding chilling. If chilling in an icebath and...

    Quick carbonation question

    I have a simple question since I’m new to this. I understand setting pressure & temp to achieve carbonation. Let’s say I do a set it and forget it method of 12 psi at 38 deg to get about a 2.5 vol co2. The carbonation is fine, but the pour is too fast at 12psi and causes foam. If I lower the...

    Intertap faucets adjustment?

    Thanks I’ll give adjusting the bonnet a try. I thought about getting springs when I bought them, but thought I’d give them a try first since they are on a kegerator tower.
