Scored a $20 1/2 bbl Keg today on Craigslist, ladies and gentlemen, the brewery is moving outdoors! I've really got my work cut out for me now......

MOD EDIT: Threads merged. ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Anheuser-Busch reportedly has agreed to be acquired by Belgian brewer InBev for about $52 billion. The deal being reported by The Wall Street Journal would create the world's largest brewer and put the iconic American beer maker in the hands of the...

Made a belgian white because the fiancee and I enjoy blue moon. We decided to brew it and save it for our Honeymoon. Here's the label I came up with. Blatant blue moon rip-off, but thats the point. What do you think?

Thank you for the actual information and intelligent responses. What a relief!

The deed is done, I took some of your "advice". I'm going to make Chimone's Bobmshell Blonde and step back the hops a little bit to around 15 IBU's. Does that make everybody happy? I didn't clone a BMC. You'd think I was trying to clone anthrax. Geez.

Once, as an experiment. Brewed a 5 gallon batch of wheat. Pitched yeast into entire 5 gallons, shook, then siphoned a gallon for experimenting. Left 4 gallons as control and 1 gallon as experiment with a couple crushed up beano tablets. The beano wheat fermented out to a 1.003 while the control...

His recipe was my starting point for this recipe, just with the addition of beano to really dry it out and make it real light. I do think that this recipe would benefit from strictly controlled fermentation temperatures, which I rarely get this time of year. I think I might make Chimone's...

You can call it a cream ale, light american lager, nectar of the gods, or horse piss, I'm not really going for style guidelines, just something so that I can give him a pint and collect on our bet. :mug:

Yeah, I should have mentioned it won't be a lager. I've done one before, but got rid of my extra fridge and its currently about 100 deg highs every day here, so the lager is pretty much out.

OK, OK, So just hear me out! I recently had a friend over to try some homebrew. He appreciates beer, doesn't know much about styles (except "light" and "dark"), knows even less about brewing, but nonetheless, will enjoy a good IPA. He mentioned that although he appreciates and enjoys craft...

Let us know how that worked out. The biggest horizontal dimension is just over 21 inches. Thats an outside dimension. I would figure about 2" of insulation on each side, leaving you with 17" inside dimension. Your typical corny is 9" diameter, meaning 2 wouldn't fit @ 18". Always best to...

+1 On Foreman's. I'm also in Keller, so its much closer than Homebrew HQ. Just check their website first to see what ingredients they have, because it is somewhat limited. I've had to do some in-store improvising a couple times. I really like how you're on your own in there. Nobody bothers you...

His comments were the basis of my recipe. As you can see, I follow his 5-4-1 (2-row, wheat, oats) ratio. Except instead of straight white wheat malt I used 3 pounds of belgian wheat malt and a pound of flaked wheat. I didn't use the hallertauer hops he mentioned, but I did stick to the 17...

I'm mashing what will become an IPA right now. 12 lbs 2 row, 1 pound munich 20, 1/2 lb carapils, 1/2 lb crystal 60. Heres my hop inventory: 2 oz chinook (16%) 3 oz amarillo (9.5%) 1 oz perle (8.2%) I want a nice, hoppy IPA, strong on both bitterness and aroma, somewhere in the range of...
