    How can I get the reddest ale possible?

    A couple lbs of CaraRed + 2oz of Carafa III will do it.

    Columbus

    Yeah I don't get the goat butt thing at all from Columbus. To me it's a bit spicy, a bit resiny, a bit citrusy and altogether awesome. Try Anderson Valley's IPA for a commercial example of proper Columbus flavor and aroma.

    How much whole hops to dry hop with?

    I think a .5oz Northdown, .5oz EKG would work really well dry hopped. 2 awesome hops. I'm with Yooper, as much as I like Bitters I do not like Fuggles - dirt mixed with some weird wood sums up its taste to me.

    The Gator-ator! Build Thread. (Lots of Pictures)

    I've said it before, I'll say it again - Man's (or woman's) ingenuity knows no bounds when it comes to beer. Nice job!

    Randall 3.0?

    Couldn't this randall 3.0 be used as sort of a 'Torpedo' ala Sierra Nevada? So you'd use it to recirculate beer (with a pump) out of the keg--> thru the randall--> back into the same keg. Recirc like that for like and hour and that should be a similar result... no?

    Breweries / Brewpubs / Beer Bars in the Minneapolis area

    Man, the Happy Gnome menu makes me want to get on a plane!

    Dry hopping with Leaf hops

    I am about to do this exact technique and thought I might try to mimic the 'Torpedo' idea - where I recirc the beer between kegs, with one of the kegs filled with leaf hops and with a sure screen on the out dip tube...

    I really like that beer too, wonder if anyone has any ideas on the recipe...?

    Thoughts on my "Caramel Sutra" IPA recipe

    Looks like a solid recipe to me... let us know!

    Saphir Hops

    I've used Saphir in a number of beers and damned if I can say what it's like! Pretty benign... The Hallertauer comparison is probably about right...

    Oak Cubes/Spirals vs Barrel

    OK, you guys are pretty much confirming what I thought...

    Oak Cubes/Spirals vs Barrel

    I did a search and couldn't find an answer to my specific question... If I don't do any sour beers, is there any advantage to going to an oak barrel vs using cubes/spirals? I'm ready to take the plunge on a barrel but wonder if there is any advantage flavor-wise over the cubes/spirals...

    Gambrinus ESB Malt

    I just went thru a sack of it - it's a very good malt.

    Six Point Sweet Action Clone Recipe?

    OK, I'll say that there is no Rye or Aromatic. Vienna, 2-Row, Caramalt, Carafoam, and a few others in addition to what was mentioned? Maybe. ;-)

    Six Point Sweet Action Clone Recipe?

    Hey folks, the recipe is not really close. I used to brew this beer professionally (no joke) and it has A LOT of different grain in it. Like kitchen sink amount. All I'll say is the hopping is Horizon, Glacier, massive hit of Simcoe.

    Deschutes Red Chair NWPA

    I'd love to hear that one too.

    Kiwi (New Zealand) IPA

    I think it'd be a fair experiment in either of those 2 options!

    Discovery Cancels Brewmasters

    I liked Brewmasters, I think Sam is great - he's got a really winning persona. But the show has been too Dogfish-centric. It just seems to be one long infomercial for DFH. That needs to change.
