    Hopsession clone...sort of...

    I recently went to mpls and grabbed a sixer of Brau Brothers Hopsession, and it was delicious!! I've been trying to figure out a great summer EPA recipe and haven't really been happy with anything I came up with lately, but the hops that make the Hopsession just tasted out of this world! I...

    Anyone brew a great beer with extract kits?

    Everything I've brewed so far has been Extract from Northern Brewer...Bourbon Porter, Sinistral Warrior IPA, Black IPA, Nut Brown Ale, and RyePA. All turned out stellar, but I also never followed the instructions completely...I add something or fiddle with it somehow. as for a the carbing...

    First time RIS recipe

    Im working out a ris recipe (im just buying the nb imperial stout kit) and want to add cherries to the secondary. I'm going to use cocoa nibs, and after reading a few different websites and forums kind of decided on a 4oz of cocoa nibs for 4 to 6 weeks. Does this seem like enough to add a...

    Help me like IPAs...

    It took me a long time to like IPAs and now it's by far my favorite beer! I didnt constantly try to make myself like it either...there was a point when I was 21 years old and I tried a Summit EPA and spit it out. THAT was too hoppy for me...then a few years back a buddy had me try Surly...

    Must see breweries before you die!

    I just got to Glendive, Montana for work and Beaver Creek Brewery is 30 miles away in Wibaux. It's a tiny brewery that sells kegs to local eateries and has a small pub that is only open Thursday - Sunday 4pm to 8pm. Hopefully I get some time off work while they're open to run down and grab a...

    Just uninstalled the HBT app

    I have it on my iPad and it won't let me login...it says I have the wrong username or password every time. I have it as a favorite on Safari, so I just uninstalled it too...

    Father's Day beer gifts

    Nothing crazy...i work on the railroad and got back from a trip just in time for father's day. The wife got me a sixer of Squatters Hop Rising DIPA and ribeye on the grill! Not to mention the Twins won a 15 inning battle against the Brewers! All in all a pretty good day

    Brew Music

    Last brew day was my first batch on my propane burner in the driveway, listened to Mastodon's Leviathan and Blood Mountain. My buddy and I brew at his house a lot, usually have NoFX, Bad Religion, Lagwagon or The Hippos going there!

    ruination's 10th anniversery

    I'm heading to Minneapolis in 2 weeks and hope to find some...my dad's buddy owns a liquor store in the burbs and carries a lot of craft beer, so if he gets it, I'm sure to be tasting it soon. Also, I don't think he knows what ruination should be priced at...any other store in Minneapolis has...

    Help with an IPA recipe

    I would use the WLP001 California Ale before I'd use the East Coast one. I wouldn't say the 1056 and WLP001 are the same strain...I've used both to make the same IPA and think the WLP001 makes a much cleaner ale IMO.

    Best canned crafts?

    +1!!! Both of these are my most favorite canned brews! I live in SD, so I can't get it easily, but I'm going home (mpls) in a few weeks and plan to grab a case or so. Also, I've heard that Oskar Blues makes some damn good beer, and recently discovered I can acquire it in WI...Looks like I'll...

    Lemon Zest in my EPA?

    I'm planning on doing an Extra Pale Ale for our family golf tourney this summer...I wondered if adding some lemon zest would work with it. I don't see why not, but there are a lot of you on here that know more than me about these sorts of things. I'm using 2oz Cascades at 60 .5oz Amarillo at 10...

    Dry Hopping Question

    I just put my leaf hops in a sanitized knee high stocking, drop it in the secondary, and syphon on top of it...making sure it gets good and soaked. Has always turned out great

    Extract IPA

    Yeah, Furious is incredibly fruity and in your face. I would suggest the Sinistral Warrior IPA from Northern Brewer. It's a tasty brew...just give it 3 to 4 weeks in the bottles and it turns out great. Not in your face hoppy and a nice malty backbone.

Every Year my wife and I throw a winter party...I'm planning on making the RIS with cocoa nibs and bourbon soaked oak cubes! (toying with idea of...

    Buy Beer Online? Seriously?

    I order from there too...They have a pretty great selection of west coast brewery beers I can't get my hands on in South Dakota! They've upped prices a bit since I first started ordering from them, but now offer a deal on free shipping if you mix and match your own six pack of bombers. AND...

    Green Flash west coast IPA! WTF?!!

    I ordered a IIPA sampler from letspour.com and it came with a Green Flash IIPA...A couple of them had sediment, so I just poured accordingly and enjoyed! I thought Green Flash was good! but not as good as the Ninkasi Tricerahops! YUM
