Sweet recipe!!!

Hey all, Anyone ever had Kona Brewing Co.'s Pipeline Porter? The stuff is awesome. I was just curious if anyone had a good recipe for the stuff. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's a coffee porter that's just awesome. This is how they describe it: "Pipeline Porter is dark...

I don't have a scale or grain crusher yet but I would think an easy way to measure out grain accurately would be a simple kitchen scale that measures grams/ounces/pounds. I haven't gotten that far into AG yet so I haven't had to think of that. As for grains on hand I would think a start...

Well I've been patient. I have things now moved to my secondary fermenter. I had a FG reading of 1.010. I think things are going just fine. I'm going to give it a week or two then bottle. Thanks! Cheers! Joe

Thanks guys! Now if we can only come up with a recipe. LOL I have a book that may help give some input on putting my two favorite beverages together into one... I might just have to try brewing up my own concoction.

From what I gather hops are very difficult to identify. They look similar to a herloom variety that I have growing. I would reccomend tasting them as well. You should be able to determine a good idea of whether they are a bittering hop or an aroma hop by how bitter they taste. I would taste...

Hey All, I have perused many different forumns for many different topics over the years and have noticed that some of the gardening forums have exchanges where you can exchange different varieties of plants. I think it would be an awesome way for us to exchange our precious hops. It sure...

We grow hops just fine down in Montana. Here we have to pick ours in about mid September early October. I know there though it's much colder sooner and your photoperiod is different. If you can find a variety that matures early you'll do fine.

Thanks for the advice guys!! The latest update is... I took a final gravity reading of 1.010 and have transfered to my secondary fermenter. Would you reccomend me to add in new yeast when it comes to bottleing time or to just add sugar and hope? Thanks! Joe

Thanks guys! I'm going to be paitent. It's my first time brewing so I'm a little anxious. :-)

Sorry for the lack of info last time. Well I am not getting any bubbles in my ferminter. My hydrometer reading at the start was 1.061 at day 1 I got a reading of 1.040 and now I'm at 1.020. Any ideas? Repitch? Any advice is appreciated. Joe

I'm experiencing similar problems with my Wee Heavy batch right now. Although with me I pitched my yeast 4 days ago, they started off like hot cakes with tons of activity and a thick layer of Krausen on the surface (after 24 hours) and now they are not bubbling at all and the Krausen has...

My fermintation has stopped after four days. Any ideas? Joe

FYI - I have found dextrose pretty cheap at ButcherPacker.com. They have it with their sausage making stuff.

I am also an apartment brewer. I do everything on the stove top as of right now. I'll probably end up getting a propane burner and doing things that way. But it gets a wee bit chilly here in the wintertime so it would make it a bit difficult to brew during the winter months. The girlfriend...

Awesome! Thanks for the advice. I'm being paitent. I have noticed the action of the fermintation slowing down but it is still bubbling at about a bubble per every 9 seconds. I'm just going to relax and probably move to a secondary after Thanksgiving. Cheers!! Joe

Thanks! Go Griz!!

Newbie from Missoula saying Howdy from Montana. I'm jumping in feet first into the AG catagory. I've got a Scotch Irish Strong Ale (wee heavy) in the ferminter now. Cheers from Big Sky Country! Joe

WHOOOPS! I missed reading the FAQ about secondary fermenting. But any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
