Hey Guys, So to make it as quick as possible, I need some advice. I started brewing in late September, and in November came in second place for my pumpkin porter... I'm now hooked- still at the begginer/partial mash level though. I'm entering whenever I can... So to the advice. I recently...

Dude... Lucky. Congrats on the catch!

Thanks for the replies. Blood, yeah I've heard of cold crashing, though I have no experiance... I think I've hit my FG (although not tested) but my wife wouldn't bee to happy with me rearranging the fridge to put my carboy in... But good idea, lets hope the temp drops enough for me to do...

Well, if you can afford it then why not... My wife doesn't like when I buy something big, but when all the bills are paid and to date, and I have enough to cover next month, she can't argue when I want to spend an extra $100 from my savings on something I really want... Good luck!

Well, it's not Irish... But I'm currently breweing a batch of Scottish Ale. Using heather tips as well as east kent goldings, let's hope it comes out alright.

Well, it's been in the primary for 11 days now, and the compitition is March 11. That gives me only two weeks of bottle conditioning... So I need to decide if I should just go from primary to bottle, or add a very brief secondary to help things clarify... I do appreciate your response!

Wow, pretty cool. I would def. go and check it out. Who know, they may offer you a job. Hell, if that brewery is popular enough and/or you have a local club have you considered opening your own HBS?

For the record, that 500 gallon batch would be of my recipie. I spent A LOT of time concocting it, pulling on various traditional recipies and while following the BJCP. So, it's kinda a big deal... lol

Alright, so my LHBC is having a compitition for Scottish and Irish Ales. The winner of the Scottish Ale gets to go to a local microbrewery and help them brew up a 500 gallon batch. I really would like to win this, so I am going to ask the advice of you all on one important thing... I'm...

Thanks GreatLakes!

Hey, Up here in Jax, and plan on ordering some rizomes this winter. My LHBS will order them for regulars, and they even had a couple cascades growing... Said they got 4oz out of em. I think it is too hot here in FL for them to really thrive, but they apparently will grow just for nostalgia...

EBloom, Thank you for A) Revivng this thread, and B) Actually going through with trying it, and C) Telling us what you thought.... I'm kinda new to brewing beer. I've only done kits. But I have recently judged in my local clubs contest and that got me thinking "why not tweak a...

Hey Everyone, I am a little late registering here to HBT, as I have been fermenting for a couple months now. I just bottled ~5.25 gallons of a nice pale ale. While obviously warm and flat it still had a warm & astringent mouthfeel with a nice subtle hop aroma. Hopefully after a...
