Let me know how you like the spiedels, I'm considering getting a few of them.

Falconer's Flight is a blend of several northwest hops. Citra, Simcoe, Sorachi Ace, and some experimental hops. All three of the main hops could be described as having a "citrusy" flavor, from grapefruit, to mango, to lemon. I would think that since it's a blend, no one flavor dominates the...

hah, well that's the plan. I have a hefe I'll be brewing on saturday, then a milk stout clone the next week. I'm also getting ready to start a batch of apfelwein. So, plenty on my plate :) I currently have a stout that's aging right now in a keg. Patience really paid off with it. it was...

So my ale has been sitting in the primary for a week now. I took a gravity reading today, and it's down from 1.081 to 1.018. And the sample tastes fantastic. I mean, so good I can't believe I made this. I was a little worried after hearing some people report peach esters with fermenting...

Well after these next two extract kits are finished I'm going to take the leap to all grain. I just wanted to try a few techniques I've been reading about to improve my extract brewing while I'm doing it. On the hefe I'll try adding all the dme at the beginning, and on my milk stout I'm going...

I hope this passes, but I'm not getting my hopes up. It's been tried several times in the past and always come sup short. InBev has a lot of pull. I would just really like it if I could buy my kegs directly from the brewery, instead of having to go through a liqour store.

Started the night with Left Hand Nitro Milk Stout, and now I'm enjoying Rye Wit from Freetail brewing in San Antonio. The wait on my first two brews is killing me. I want to drink them alreaddddddyyyyyyy.

Awesome, man. Well its always good to meet another ag. If you need any help or have any questions, just shoot me a PM. I'm still pretty new myself, but if I don't know the answer, I'll be glad to help you find it. Good luck, and Gig'em!

Howdy! What year are you Ag? I'm guessing you were in the corps? What outfit? I'm the proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie class of 2007! My first semester was with company B-1, but after a knee injury I left the corps. Really wish I ignored my parents and had stuck with it, even...

I bought my starter kit from Austin homebrew with a 6.5 gallon glass carboy. After a few brewdays, and reading a few threads I decided to give Better bottles a try. I got the better bottles in a few days ago, but I've already decided to "retire" the glass carboy. I also plan on picking up a...

This one goes to eleven! ;)

Thanks for the link, I picked one up. Amazon prime has made me such a sucker for deals :) Also, thanks for posting homebrew finds. I had never heard of them, now they'll be a daily stop for me.

80 degrees is way too hot for that yeast, and for most beers. You also have to remember that fermentation temps can be 5-10 degrees higher than ambient. Too high of a fermentation temperature will increase the chances of creating fusel alcohols as well as esters. IE hot alcohol flavor and...

Looking at Beersmith (which is a super useful program, need to buy a key), it looks like if I do 3# at the start and 3# after flame-out, I'll be alright. Estimated IBU will be 12.8, which is just fine for the style, and it really helps the estimated color as well. I figure to keep the cooler...

It will be a 60 minute 6.5 gallon boil (5 gallon batch).

Doing my 3rd brew this coming weekend, and plan on doing a late extract this time around, but had a few questions. I'll be brewing AHS Bavarian hefe kit, which has 6# DME. I was thinking I'll add the lme at 60, and the DME at flame out. Any foreseeable problems with this? I have read that...

Haven't tracked it yet. I keep telling myself I'll do a DE at the local track, or some AutoX, but I just don't have the time. I used to AutoX quite a bit when I had my S2000 a few years ago. Of course back then I worked at sears and had all the free time I could want. So for now it's just a...

So, next step is tap handles. Here's what I want to do. I freaking love Game of Thrones, and the house emblems. So my plan is to try and make tap handles that look like the picture at the bottom of the post. I have the sigils I want saved on my PC - Baratheon (Stannis the Mannis!)...

I used the rustoleum appliance spray paint. No primer, just wiped everything down well with acetone. In hindsight, I would have put more coats on. Even with 3 coats it still scratches fairly easily, it's just no match for a factory coating. You can see a few scratches on the bottom where I...
