I used to live in uptown Minneapolis, and hung out with a lot of punk bands. Every time any of my friends had a party, the beer provided was PBR...if we ran out of that, the backup beer was Black Label. I remember asking, "what the hell is Black Label?". And somebody responded, "it's Canada's...

Was going to brew NB's Rebel Rye on Friday, but when I went to make my starter, the smack pack never inflated. I've had this happen before, so I decided to make the starter anyway to test the yeast. I poured it into the flask and it was a weird brown color and smelled like a fart...

Me too. She texted me last night and said "you almost got divorced! I heard a boom and thought you beer exploded again". Turns out the cat knocked something off the counter in the bathroom, and she thought it was my beer. My last two beers blew up pretty bad. She insisted that I use...

Brewed my honey-basil double pale ale yesterday. First partial mash went alright, was easy enough, just missed my og...was shooting for 1.078 and hit 1.072. Oh well. Pretty pumped to see how it'll turn out. Come June I'll pack 12 bombers into 2 boxes and ship them to the cabin we rented in...

My folks are coming to visit for the weekend, and my dad wants to see how brewing works. Lucky for me, I need to get my honey-basil double pale brewed for my buddy's wedding in June. I've never done a partial mash recipe before, so this ought to be interesting. Actually pretty glad I'll...

I'm cleaning things and getting for tomorrow's brew session while my boy and I listen to Mad Caddies - Keep it Going! He's dancing like a maniac

Made my yeast starter for my Honey-Basil Double Pale Ale...my first partial mash recipe. A little worried I'm gonna screw this up

I recently went to a bar/restaurant that boasts the biggest selection of beers on tap in town. Now, they do have a few Montana craft beers on tap, but the majority of them are BMC beers...they are especially excited about their newest beers on tap, Batch 19 and 3rd Shift (I believe both are...

I already changed my mind on the oak...after doing some reading, I think I'm going to soak my oak cubes in a red wine now. Yummy. Also might cut out the orange if I'm adding wine soaked oak? Don't know if those 2 will mix well

I just ordered this kit too...I found out I'll be a daddy again and since swmbo can't drink, I promised I wouldn't go crazy brewing summer beers. Blowoff and starter go without saying. although my last 2 big beers had VERY LARGE blowoffs, and I was out of town for work both times...

My sister-in-law texted me yesterday to tell me they have a few strains ready and to expect some in the mail. I'll see what I receive and what I'm gonna brew with them

Definitely!

http://www.siouxfallsdevelopment.com/viewNewsStory.cfm?newsID=368 My sister-in-law's little brother and father have started a new yeast company in south Dakota. I just spent a week on vacation with my family and Barry and I talked a lot about this. I gave him my address and he told me there...

My last order showed up at my house and my wife called to tell me that a bag of dme exploded all over everything! Bummer... BUT, the fine young men and women at Midwest Supplies came through again...replaced at no charge to me! They are a hell of a staff

My wife was just in mpls and got me a sixer of it. I just tried it, and it might be my new favorite IPA...although its hard to beat Furious. I'm continuously amazed at what this brewery puts out...just great stuff

Perfect! Thanks bulldawgbrewer, that's what I was thinking when I plugged it all into brew pal.

No, I'm just saying that's what I have on hand...sorry, I guess I didn't make that clear at all. Any thoughts on how much of what I should use? And no, this isn't the recipe from byo...I thought I'd try my own take on the idea...the byo recipe doesn't use honey malt, just the .5lbs of honey...

So I changed my whole plan once I got the new byo magazine and saw the honey basil pale ale recipe. This is what I have and I think it would work nicely. 4lbs briess 2 row 1lbs gambrinus honey malt 1lbs briess caramel 10L 1lbs flaked oats 6lbs Pilsen lme 1lbs Pilsen dme 1oz...
