I decided to brew BM's OktoberFAST ale. I know its late, but I just want it for the cold months, not necessarily October. So I went to the lhbs to get the ingredients I needed for this. All I needed was yeast and Aromatic malt. The guy I talked to talked me out of a lb of aromatic saying it...

Went to the lhbs to get the ingredients I needed for this. All I needed was yeast and Aromatic malt. The guy I talked to talked me out of a lb of aromatic saying it was way to much for 5 gal, and talked me in to trying the Kolsch yeast. He also said that I should use Melanoiden in an...

I love my Dovo. I rarely get any razor burn anymore, and if I do, I know it's time to hone a bit. I actually enjoy shaving now. It's a whole different experience, zen like as stated before. I start to relax the first draw across the leather. I don't think I'll ever go back to canned cream...

I brewed something very similar to this. Used columbus instead of Magnum and Willamette instead of Fuggles and EKG. I emailed spike awhile back and got the recipe. The hops are a bit different from what your recipe is but very similar. Sub Warrior for Magnum, and 2 oz of Amarillo per 5g for...

At the risk of being mocked heavily ... Billy Joel. Grew up drinkin and listening to him. If not Billy, Hank Sr.

I made a batch of cider the other day. 5 gallons of apple juice/cider, a lb of turbinado and about a half lb of honey. I pitched some notty (the "bad" lot). Fermentation took off in a few hours. It has been chugging along at 66 for 4 days now. Gravity is down from 1.059 to 1.026 last time I...

They work. There are a couple threads about them around here. The miller one works as well. Apparently tap a draft has a contract with coors/miller (I could be wrong about that though) check this out: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/coors-disposable-keg-party-pig-127302/

I did something very similar to this, using the same yeast strain. 11.5 lbs MO 2 lbs sugar (cane/beet) 1.5 oz Willamette (45 min) 1 oz Hallertauer (15 min) My OG was 1.086 and my FG was 1.008. I started fermentation low (around 68 then over 3 weeks let it climb up to about 85) Keep that in...

This one always impressed me. The picture doesn't do it justice. The cover is made up layered images. The book is made up of clear pages that ultimately make up the front cover .... really neat idea.

I used to get a foamy first pour, but my second was good. Sounds like you just under carbed it. I fixed my foamy first pour by adding 10 ft lines. Perfect pour every time now.

So I brewed a basic tripel a few months back, kegged half and bottled half in flip top bottles. I did both at the same time. The kegged batch I primed with corn sugar, the bottles I used coopers carb drops. I have drank a few bottles and it is really good. Started out a little cidery form...

I figure if I use harvested yeast .... which I just about always do. I have a batch down to about $10 .... I'm glad I switched to all grain.

I am looking in to purchasing a lb of hops. I was looking in to EKG and Fuggles, but couldn't decide between the two, because I had nothing to compare the flavors of each to. I ended up buying 1 ounce of each. My idea is to brew 2 small batches. Probably a mild, bitter with an american hop...

How do you think this same grain bill would work with some traditional English hops (Fuggles/Kent Goldings), and a dry english yeast (1098). I'd like to make a good nut brown, would this grain bill work well for that??

The "low" was the fact that I was brewing, while she was having contractions. But still no baby this morning, just prelabor contractions. That is good advice about still working on brewing, without spending the extended time needed to actually brew ... such as reading and upgrades and such.

Ok, so my wife is 9 months pregnant. We have a 2 year old girl already, and she is carrying my first son. I brewed a triple to commemorate the occasion. Last week all I could think was ... Brewing will be tough for awhile. So last week I brewed a wit (my wife likes Belgian brews). Tonight...

Which hops would be good?? On hand I have Cascade, Willamette, Centennial, and Columbus. I love centennial, but only have maybe 6 oz or so left. I also like Willamette alot, but am in the same boat. I have a good bit (almost a full lb) of both the cascade and Columbus. I guess I could...
