Bottled this today after a week in primary and 3 in secondary. Yielded 4.5 ounces of liguid goodness. Sampled some, as I always do, and it tasted GREAT!!!! Now the three weeks waiting time. I'm impatient so I'm sure I'll taste one while it's a bit on the green side. (3 Beers under my belt...

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, Methinks that a rinse would still have nearly the same effects as a squeeze in terms of releasing particulates. (But maybe I'm overthinking this. Where is the DAMN UPS GUY!!!!!)

BevMo should have it soon!!!! I hope!!!

ARRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! My Secondary and primary are BOTH full!!! AND the new secondary isn't here yet!!! Sadly, I await my aging porter and IDA!!! I needs me some more equipment.

Calcutta it shall be named!!!! thanks

I guess thats what ya get from left over stout and IPA ingredients. It looks great. Not really that dark so far, but it still has a lot of settling to do. I got the chocolate idea from a recipe I read somewhere. Guess I stick to the lighter side of things to make a true IPA. OR I...

How thick does the hot break have to be??? I definitely get a thick layer of bubbley/scum - but no boil over. Maybe I watch it tooooooo closely.

Took the Frank Ellis recipe from Beer Beer & More Beer (which is very, very tasty) and modified it a bit, using mostly leftover ingredients and this is what I got. Roadrunner IPA (One crossed my path as I came home to ice my brew.) 9lbs Extra Light Malt Extract 1/2lb Crystal 60 3/4lb...

My first brew, a whole 4 months ago, tasted horrible initially: really bitter and too hoppy. I added the dry hops into the pot and boiled them away. Total newbie mistake. BUT..... After a bit of time it is actually pretty tasty. In fact after a few other beers it's REALLY TASTY...

Racked my stout (which seems to be more of a porter with oats) to secondary and had a bit of time left to brew an IPA. I love when the wife endulges my hobbies.

thanks, for the info

Thanks for the information. Now how long can I keep this cake fresh, until I use it in a future brew?

There SHE BLOWS!!!! Been going strong since some time yesterday, mid-day!!!! Smells GREAT!!! Just can't wait to taste it!!!!

What is a yeast cake? AND How does one pitch upon it? I know that this sounds like a newbie question, and it is. I have my third batch bubbling strong, and it has a nice Dry English Ale Yeast in it and I plan to do an IPA once this is done. So.........

Came home at 4:30 today and she was a bubbling away!!! Now I wait out the bubbles. Whoever speeds up this whole process on a microscale will be richer than Bill Gates.

Sitting in the carbouy for 14 hours now with NO action. I have hope though. If nothing happens I'll give it a good shake tonight.

My porter/stout is sitting pretty in the carbouy. No activity yet. Yeast pitched about 14 hours ago. I HAVE HOPE THOUGH!!!!

Brewing this right now!!!! Might be one WICKED Brown - possibly a stout of some kind 10lbs LME 1/2lb Crystal Malt 60 1/4lb Crystal Malt 120 1/2lb Chocolate Malt 1/2lb Roasted Barley 1/2lb Cara Pils 1/2lb Flaked Oats - Roasted 4oz cocoa powder last 10 minutes 2 Whole Vanilla Beans at...

Thanks for all of the quick help. I think that I'll lower the crystal 60 by half a pound. Definitely add the oats. (Should I roast them and the barely first?) Jury is still out on the cocoa powder. (Definitely not gonna use actual chocolate - looks too messy.) Still toying with the...

I have not brewed a stout yet. So, I've taken the time to look at several stout recipes and have tried to consolodate what might be best about them. Hence creating a recipe that I think might be pretty tasty. I'm planning to brew this weekend. What advice do you have for me based upon these...
