That doesn't make any sense to me. How well was your priming sugar mixed? Is there a chance you didn't get enough in the bottles?

What was your FG? Did you secondary?

This. S-04 will give you a very different beer.

Are those labels textured or is it just the picture?

It has nothing to do with being prudish, it has to do with being respectful of people that might work in more corporate or educational environments.

Maybe some sort of **** tag for that one...

Amarillo is delicious, so it is worth it. Don't worry about screwing it up, though! Should be fine!

You could sub Cascade or something similarly citrusy for the dry hop.

I updated the recipe on the first page. Don't worry about the beer you brewed - in its initial incarnation, the beer was still great, which is why I bothered posting it. The other changes have been refinements over time, but you won't make bad beer. Give it maybe an extra week of conditioning to...

The tea is probably the better bet. The extract was a bit too harsh for my liking which is why I switched. I think I should probably edit the front page.

I go by weight.

I've found that for me, if I let the beer settle in the keg for a week or two, the flavors mesh a lot more than they do initially. It IS subtle, though.

Thanks man! I didn't have time before Christmas gatherings to actually print my labels and do it the right way, but I did this instead! A full case, tagged and bottled :)

Latest label for my mint stout:

The illustration itself was just something I found online. After that it was just a matter of creating a label in photoshop and adding the text. There are tons of photoshop tutorials out there! You should check them out!
