I started with all grain 1 gallon batches, and I've come to the conclusion (for the most part.. I still do 1 gallon batches on occasion) that it's too much time and trouble to do JUST a gallon. So I've jumped up to 2-2.5 gallon batches which seems to be a good compromise. To me it's a good...

Doing two small-batch (1gallon) brews tomorrow. One is an English ESB, and the other is a Cascade American Pale.

It's been a few years for me. Need to break the rig out and see if it still works! It's a neat balancing act between getting enough voltage for penetration, doing the bumble bee dance across the work, and feeding just enough rod in. Kinda like patting your head, rubbing you belly, while...

I gravitate towards malts in the 3L realm like Maris Otter or a Belgium pale malt, but it just depends on what your preferences are. Maybe some insight here: http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2012/07/what-is-your-favorite-base-malt.html

Take a look @ this syrup. It has a fair bit of smokey bacon flavor to it: http://www.cascadebeercandi.com/ecProduct_102_27

Hmm... you could go Scotch with Angus or Duncan. How about a German name like Krausen? :rockin:

Good article! I remember when getting bought by Microsoft during the dot.com bubble was such a great thing! I think this is different, mostly in the fact that when MS absorbs someone, they fall completely under the mantle of the Microsoft name for the most part. I never realized that...

This is my first stout, so I was worried about going too far with the roasty type grains, and I'm happy with the amount of roast flavor in this one (this came out pretty smooth). I'll open one tonight to add some comments... Color wise... light will not penetrate it! :D

And if there isn't a food truck... I went here for a tasty meal: http://saltysow.com/

GLH looks like a great resource for information! Thanks for the link! :)

I did something I called a "Dirty Scotsman" mostly because of the yeast (and my heritage). It's a spin on the oatmeal/breakfast stout idea (no coffee in it, but I was tempted...) This is for a 2.5 gallon batch. 5 lb American - Pale Ale 74.8% 5 oz German - Chocolate Wheat 4.7% 4 oz...

I kinda like it! I'll have to remember to hold my pinky out while I drink my next tasty beverage that was NOT made by AB. If they really wanted to do it the HARD way... they should consider brewing all of their stuff on nano scale brewery equipment instead. :rolleyes:

Never done one before, but I do like Dechutes version of it (Chainbreaker). They have a loose homebrew recipe of it here: http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/recipe/chainbreaker-white-ipa-clone

First-timer here. I'm growing them in pots for the first year or so until I figure on an ideal spot, what takes, and what doesn't... I'm planning on 6 varieties (overkill)! Willamette, Sterling, Centennial, Cascade, Crystal, & Golding. I figure I have a long wait ahead, so I went down to...

I don't wet the bed anymore, but I have forgotten to check the gravity of a couple of batches well after the fact. :mad:

I've been by Cumberland... Started in Portland and ate my way (lobsta...) up to Camden. Beautiful state!!! Welcome to the forums! :)

When I'm not playing video games, fixing up the house, brewing beer, shaving the cats.... I build tube amps. :rockin::rockin::rockin:

Hmm... why would it be illegal? Maybe an Eisbock? Maybe in the states they're technically considered distilled? :drunk:

I went with this one. It's 2 amp rated and the motor specified in the first post is less than 1 amp so it should be good (plus it's a cake-walk to hook up!) I do agree though.. a little more room to spare on your power supply is always mo'betta.
