Last of the ingredients should arrive tomorrow! Gonna start the starters tonight and brew this weekend! :)

I just had a thought: Since COVID has taken Thanksgiving from us and we all have to hide at home, I say I’m not bound by the rule that says you shouldn’t put up your Christmas tree before Thanksgiving. **** 2020 I’m gonna light up early! 😁

Woops.. this was supposed to be hard cider, not wine lol 🤣

You may very well be right. We’ll find out soon! 😁 Some of the grains are more there for mouthfeel, and the major themes should be caramel, vanilla, and coffee. I am also throwing all kinds of crazy stuff into secondary for a week, and then after that it’ll sit for at least another month or two...

Alright, nobody stopped me, so I bought all these ingredients, and I'll chronicle process and results here! :)

Okay, so going to name this "Derangement". Can't find a famous beer named that already. Planning to make two 2.75 gal BIAB batches in my 10 gal kettle, ferment them separately in 6.5 gal carboys for headspace safety, and combine them in secondary. Please review and feedback...

Every time I think of a cool name for a beer, someone has already named a beer that.

Yep! Changing out the yeast to Wyeast London 1028 got me to FG 1.03 and 11.74% on BF

When I punch all my planned numbers into Brewer's Friend, I get a FG of 1.037. That's too high, even for a big, loud stout, right? Might need different yeast.

Thanks again so much for these recipes to look into. After much reading I have answered nearly all of my questions, learned some surprising new things, and believe I have my recipe worked out. Some key takeaways: There is a very "standard" stout grain profile. Much of the magic must be in...

Reading through old posts and had to laugh at this. Vegas will always be Vegas 🤣

Gonna try to get fancy and make a pineapple pizza with maple bourbon reduction glaze. I know what you’re thinking, “Jesus, Nick you can’t make pizza every night!” To that I say, “Shhhhhh”. 😁

I wonder if my girl is gonna be mad that we don’t have a trash can anymore?

Sometimes the plastic liner piece gets stuck inside my kitchen trash can, because I have teenage heathens who prefer trash compression to taking trash out, so I have to pry the liner out of the can with a screwdriver. Today I wasn’t having it, so I put the whole damn thing in a lawn bag and...

Tonight 5 cheese

Don’t smash it with a hammer if you could squeeze it with pliers instead.

This will kill it every time. I’ve even substituted Impossible burger ground or Gardein beefless ground and made this in vegan form and I swear it would still win the office chili competition! https://www.cookingclassy.com/slow-cooker-chili/

Man I’m so excitable. All this pizza talk and I had to fire up!

Don’t jump to conclusions! Maybe we could use a level 4 yeast sommelier! “Hey bubbles, I’m looking for a wheat yeast that doesn’t have that ripe Belgian armpit funk. What’s her name?” 🤣
