Thank you for that link. thinking I might skip using pumpkin and just use the spices; sounds like a lot of work/mess and only a small amount of flavor. The sweet potato idea does sound interesting, may give that a try. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I am getting ready to attempt my first pumpkin beer but not quite sure how to brew with pumpkin. I am an extract brewer so I can't put it in the mash so should I steep it with specialty grains or add it to the boil. Also, I will be using canned pumpkin, should I just pour it in and filter the...

+5 gal Pacifica Pale Ale = 25017 gallons Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Blue Stallion Brewery in Lexington, KY. Hard to pick a favorite...I guess the Dunkel, or the German Pilsner, or the Oktoberfest. Truthfully, I haven't tried anything thing there that wasn't great.

I've brewed 5 batches and the only one that was good (actually it was amazing) was batch #3 which was a brewers best pale ale that I added more hops to. Batch one had to mature 6 months before it was drinkable, batch 2 wasn't too bad but had a bottle bomb problem, batch 4 was not drinkable, and...

You should be fine in terms of the beer fermenting in primary for 3 weeks. I don't keg but I'm pretty sure it takes at least a couple days to get it carbonated. Adding priming sugars is definitely not going to help as that process takes some time. One thing you'll learn about brewing is...

Very true. That is the nice thing about the new breweries opening in Lexington. They have rotating guest tap that will even sometimes include their competition from just down the road.

I think I have to agree with that though I have to give props to the Hofbräuhaus in Newport. It was the first one built in the states. Great place to go after a Reds game. They should be tapping their Oktoberfest in a couple of weeks which they have shipped from Munich, instead of brewing it...

#11. Always carefully measure your priming sugars, even if using a kit. Bottle bombs and bottle cannons (my name for when the cap fires off into your hand when you touch it) are a pain to clean up, make you significant other question if you should be brewing, and are potentially dangerous.

Yes, Kentucky Ale brews Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale. They also brew Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Stout and the brand new Kentucky IPA. All of it is great stuff and recommend making that one of your 15 stops.

My wife runs a dog treat bakery called Paw Prints Bakery so in turn I named my "brewery" Dog Paw Brewery.

I live in the Lexington area. Home brewing is definitely becoming more popular in this area especially with the opening of three new breweries (West 6th, Country Boy, and Blue Stallion) and a craft beer bar/home brew supply store (Lexington Beerworks). Hopefully it will start migrating your...

Awesome! Thank you guys so much for the help.

My wife desperately wants me to brew her an Oktoberfest beer. Since she doesn't complain about my brewing i figured it would be wise to oblige. The problem is that I don't have the ability to lager a beer. I thought Kölsch yeast was going to be the answer but I discovered that it still has to...

My first beer was a 3, at best. Just started drinking my 3rd beer, a Pale Ale dry hopped with Cascade and Aussie Galaxy, and it is a 7 and hopefully will be an 8.

Bottled my I-131 Pale Ale yesterday and today I will finish cleaning up (scrub the walls) from where I had a blow out while it was fermenting.

+5 gal of American Pale Ale =27,534

I walked my wife through installing a blow out tube over the phone from work after she texted me that there was a boom that came from my "brewery" (upstairs bathroom closet). I am anxious to get home and make sure my Pale Ale is alright but I also know I am in the dog house for making a mess...
