The lager was a diacetyl bonanza. I tried to brew a dark ***** Modelo-ish lager and had no idea what I was doing. It fermented WAY too hot. I knew it was going to be crappy but I still went through the whole lagering process with it just for the practice. Live and Learn....

Well I had to dump out a lager (my second batch) that tasted like poo. :( But I'm bottling a strong ale AND a stout- and both of them are good! :rockin: ...I just had to share with somebody. :tank:

Don't underestimate the Bolts! 4-8 to Superbowl!

Haha... that sounds like a good idea. But somehow I don't think its gonna go over very well. BTW.... Happy New Years Everybody- May the next year bring many tasty brews to all of us!!

REDEMPTION with the barkeepers friend!!! It came off- just changed the brushed pattern a little. But I'm still banned from the kitchen- oh well I wanted to move to the garage anyway!

LOL... perhaps you are right.

I thought it was a good beer. Worth trying at least- they're selling them for $18 at my local pub and I split a couple bottles with friends at their Xmas party. I think the bling-ish looking bottle helped me meet a couple cuties who were sitting near me.

Well my brewdays are now going to be outdoors or in the garage after ruining a Stainless Steel Stovetop with my 2009 IPA last night. The pot must have gotten too hot and now there is brown/black discoloration on the stove. Doesn't the name Stainless Steel imply that it's STAINLESS?? :(

who? .......

Has anyone tried this recipe with WLP570??

Got it... i'll update you all as to how it turns out.

Thats why I love all you here @ HBT, continually saving me from myself. I already racked but I'll take it out of the cold for a day or two. Will I see fermentation??

So I racked this abomination of a lager last night after 3 weeks @ 45deg. I tasted it and to my surprise was not too bad. LOTS of butterscotch which obviously shouldn't be there but makes the brew very interesting and sweet. I'm going to crash it @ >40 for a little and try to clear it up.

I dig! Thanks guys! I brewed this last night and took some of your advice by reducing the grains by a half lb and using a half oz of each the kent and fuggles at FWH. And then .5 kent @ 15, .5 fuggles @5, and .5 kent @ flameout. It tasted and smelled great but my ******* forgot to get a...

Well I pretty much looked at a bunch of different bitter recipes here on HBT and then started punching in ingredients to Beer Alchemy. I initially wanted to make a Firestone DBA clone. That's where I got the idea to use the Cali yeast. My whole thought process was that I wanted to get a base to...

I was planning on steeping and then also doing my own ghetto mini-mash technique (steeping in seperate pan with a few quarts of water then rinsing the grains in a strainer over the wart with another gallon of water. I already have the LME so I want to use that. I was going to weight out .7 out...

This is the first recipe I've built from scratch. I did it in BeerAlchemy and it hits all the correct points for a 8B-English Pale Ale-Special/Best/Premium Bitter but the expect ABV @ 4.6. Let me know what you think- Fermentables US Caramel 60L Malt 1.00 lb In Mash/Steeped UK Caramalt...

In one way I wish the nutritional info was on the bottles but I guess ignorance is bliss... and has a lot more calories.

LOL thats a great site. But I actually did a google search and couldn't find an answer.

Someone asked me this yesterday and I thought it was an interesting question. Nearly everything you buy has nutritional info on the packaging. But not beer or other alcoholic drinks. Anyone know why this is? My guess was that beer and wine are biologically alive and constantly changing...
