I'm not sure there are ways to get them out of your beer, unless you heat your finished (or fully-fermented) beer up to whatever temperature and evaporate the "bad" alcohols. Of course, you won't get all of them (some evap at higher temperatures than our friend Ethyl alcohol), and I don't know...

There may be cheaper places to get it, and 4 oz is WAY more than you'll ever need, but SpiceBarn has the flavoring for about 5 or 6 bucks a bottle, plus shipping. http://spicebarn.com/butterscotch_flavoring.htm

Ah, normally I'd love to, but I've got to be back in Jersey this weekend - my bud's dad is turning 65, plus it's their annual BBQ. It's a big deal for back home, I suppose.:) Anyway, I'll catch you sooner or later.

OK, had a chance to crack into some brews, and here's what I've got so far: Berry Saison: Very Nice! Just a bit of tartness and berry aroma, with a striking red/purple color , cloudy to remind you it's a Saison. Very tasty, very popular with my friends. Sorachi Saison: Never had Sorachi...

How about "I'm so totally 21!" ... or something to that effect

Hmmm... I wonder if I should start a few, and then when I move out (maybe 2 years?) I just leave them there as a nice, established present for future tenants. Does anyone know if it's possible to get/grow rhizomes for Czech Saaz in Maryland? I seem to use that one a LOT for its...

O Orph, man, we should get together. I've been playing forever, but I haven't played in a while and I totally miss it. Where outside DC are you?

Did you apply a filter to the photo, or was it like that? I might like to do an effect like that in the future... Nice job!

Heh... yeah, when the book came out, I read it that night and the next day, and my friends has to forcibly restrain me from carrying out my wicked plot: I was going to make a t-shirt that said "Snape Kills Dumbledore" and just wear it around the DC Metro all day. Also- as for how the...

Natty. Boh. Showing the Baltimore pride, yo.

See, I think the key here (and I know this is an UNsolicited opinion) is to make whatever recommendation will get your dad (is it your dad? I forget now...) hooked on brewing. So, if Mr. Beer is easy and the way to go, let's pick the one that is most likely to make a passable project, and then...

The buttershots might well work, you just gots to be careful not to raise the alc % higher than the yeast can deal with. That's why I would, in future, boil the Buttershots with the initial boil in order to evap the alcohol. Also- w/ the extract, I noticed it said to use 1/4 tsp. I have NO...

Boil is on- here is my final recipe: I must say - with the scents of spices and crystal malt coming out of my pot right now... I want to stick my entire face in it. It's just... ambrosial... A brew truly worthy of Dumbledore's blessed memory.

I am quite pleased that this thread is picking up steam. My brew kettle is also picking up steam, as it happens - I'm steeping the Crystal 60 as we speak. Now, I have a question- Where would I find butterscotch extract? Does such a thing exist, or are people using ButterShots? (or similar...

I would say hop back in your car and improve your beer many thousand times over. If a style calls for a particular specialty grain, you would be WELL served to pick it up. It will give you some color, flavor, aromas, and body. Consider: If you are making Guinness, the only thing you really need...

See? I knew Congress was good for something. I might just have to drop by some offices with some homebrew, see what's going on...

Well, here's the final version (at least... so far?), with a wax seal! Finally found a script to make them in GIMP.

Sounds good. I just bottled a Barleywine today, so I'll bring it but you'll have to let it sit a month or so. I've got a porter, maybe that Sweet Potato beer... I'll figure it out. :-)

Ah, very good- I'll be in a Mets hat and a Hawaiian shirt. Hey- here's a thought... Want to bring some beers, and we'll do a swap at the close of the evening's festivities? I yearn to try some other homebrews... Yearn!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I must... but I gotta say, we should have our obligatory 1 beer at DuClaw's, then roll over to Max's Taphouse... MUCH better, tons of beers, very nice. What time are people planning to go? And how shall we identify one another?
