    First brew failed, trying again 30 years later...

    Very cool indeed. Sorry if I offend. Not my intention, mate. In my defense, I just like to support the people with actual money/sales by actually buying the book. 3rd edition is best, so I've heard. Then, I have the book. In case there's no Internet one day. God forbid!! You can also gift...

    Slowest ferment ever???

    Not an expert by any means, but if it's been fermenting since Dec 26, it's probably done. What's the germ temp? Any control over that? What's was the OG? And maybe some insight into your recipe, mash temps, AG or extract..? These details help to ascertain what's going on with your brew. My...

    First brew failed, trying again 30 years later...

    The entire book? Why would anyone, especially on HBT, just take without considering the effort & expense it takes to write a book in the first place? Much less, edit , and format to pdf... Have some respect and "put in" your two cents in the brewing world, beside pointing out the obvious, and...

    15+ gallon plastic fermenters?

    What a great idea! I'm thinking these could be set upon a barrel rack with a bottling spigot in the smaller bung, and perhaps cut a #5/6 hole for an airlock in the center side? Mimicking a wine barrel sorta... Then when it's time to rack just attach your sanitized hose, loosen the cap a lil and...

    What are you drinking now?

    Mehana Volcano Red Ale. Mehana is a subdivision of Hawaii Nui Brewing Co. as I chill in my hotel room in Kauai, HI. Not terrible, not a good red ale. Their website claims its brewed in the American amber style, which it is, but at just over 5% with little body, it kinda falls flat. IN...

    Worst Commercial Beer You've Ever Had?

    Dang! I've had a bomber of that sitting cold for almost a year now. There had to be some reason we haven't drunk it yet. I'm not scared, by any means, I just brew damn good beer and plenty of it, so, I just never get around to opening that bastard. My wife wanted to buy it because of the pink...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Been a lil while. Still getting strong pineapple tropical fruit notes from the 2oz Belma dry hop. Not complaining, just sayin'. F'n awesome fruity pale ale. Dry hopping all 10g next time. Try it!

    Inspiration Thead: Post your 2013 Brew Schedule

    This year I just wanna really nail down my handful of recipes, while experimenting with Belgian inspired beers. It's hard not to stray from the recipe sometimes, even with cooking I have a hard time following a recipe exactly... So here's to it! A new year of practice makes perfect, with some...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Just sampled the 2nd half of my 10g batch dry hopped 5days with 2oz Belma pellets in a 5g batch. (the first half had no dry hop) At kegging and a day later I'm getting a solid tropical fruit, pineapple melon orange flavor contribution. Without a doubt the Belma impacted the flavor in the...

    What are you drinking now?

    The one on the left. Cascadian Darkness. Awesome. Clean hoppy, dry light roasty finish, bright yet black as doooom. Yessir, I will.

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Pretty much the same thing I'm guessing. Just a little touch of depth to the gold. No flavor contribution at all with an ounce or two at most in a 10 gallon batch. However, I've never made the recipe true, so, what do I know. For all I know the roasted B did nothing. There's no roast in flavor...

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Yeppers. But I knew what it would do. I'll take a dirty blonde over a dumb blonde any day :) I'll try to post a picture tonight after work. Maybe I'll post a pic of all my current brews...

    Do You Cook With Your Homebrew???

    Awww. I can practically hear the sadness in those words. I know you miss that beer, but just think of all the new beers you've brewed since. Haha! "that beer's gone now." So so sad. Like a tattoo to remind you... Chin up, buddy! Hahaaaa!

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Me too! Parallel brews... Ha! Nice beer. Clean, fresh and familiar. A typical "beer" beer, but remarkable in a nice quiet way. I guess that's why folks here have brewed so much of it. I fermented in the low 60's the first few days then upped it to mid 70's with fresh S04. Nice! Mines a lil bit...

    "Berlinerweisse with a little wood" Collaboration of Burnside Brewing Co. and Hop&Vine in Portland, Or. Pretty dang tasty! Good job guys and merry Xmas to all you HBTers out there!

    Blonde Ale Centennial Blonde (Simple 4% All Grain, 5 & 10 Gall)

    Brewed up a 10 gal batch of this today. My 1st 10 gal brew. Did an overnight mash to cut some time off my day. What an amazing success! Hit all my numbers dead on, quick heats,waking up and firing your SPARGE water rather than your mash water is awesome! I'm using S04 + starter on this one with...

    LONG fermentation

    Hello there fellow brewer! Welcome to HBT. I can honestly say I've learned quite a bit on this forum. If you refine your searches a bit and maybe a bit more and look through the relative threads, I'm most sure you'll find the answers your looking for. Don't give up! And these old mods are truly...
