I am planning to brew tomorrow, but...... My recipe calls for 8oz brown malt and I forgot to order it. It's an extract so it will only be steeped. So I was wondering if I can substitute 8oz of chocolate malt? Will this work or be a bit of an overload of chocolate malt?

Thanks for the info. I didn't even know that Sam Adams made such a beer.

I was lucky to find the Stone 11th at my local BevMo. I bought a case 'cause that stuff goes FAST!!!! It's extremely hoppy and makes the mouth pucker up a bit. I tried really hard to notice the hints of dark malt added to it, but the sheer hoppiness of it gets in the way. Their website said...

The beer that gave this yeast cake was a double IPA with an initial gravity of 1.082 which is about the same for the Old Rasputin that I plan to use it for next. This should be ok then, right?

I have the same issue. I just eat well - I mean not too many fatty foods and try to exercise a few times a week. To me it seems just another way for the pharm companies to get us to buy into one of their new drugs. Oh, moderate drinking too - just a few a night on Thurs through Sunday...

If I have a LARGE (WYeast CA 001) yeast cake from a 3 gallon IPA that I brewed 2weeks ago, will it still be viable for a Russian Imperial? OR Should I make a starter batch with it and grow it a bit more? (It has been sitting in the fridge in a clean container during these past two weeks.)

I have two vials of CA001 from WYeast. One is a bit on the older side - said that last month was it's past due date. The other vial is brand spankin' new. Thought that I'd actually use the old one and make a nice 3 Quart starter 3-4 days before I brew this. I don't have anything to spin the...

I figure with a 5 gallon batch I can try a few after it has done the old 1-2-3. Then I can try a WHOLE LOT later on in it's aging process. I'm really looking forward to this.

I got a great one at my local Walfart. Not floating, but with a pretty long cord.

Hey, if you like to watch.... I hope you got a glass carbouy. Otherwise you will soon.

Um, my 8 week old farts ALL the time!!! It makes me think that we were just born farting. Beer is just another good excuse to eek one out!!!

Bubbles is bubbles, but it NEVER hurts to wait an extra day or two. Brew ON!!!!

I wish that I had thought of that when I did my first brew. GREAT WORK!!! I'm sure that you will be more than pleased with your results.

Another One Rides the Bus!!!! Welcome to the insanity and LOVE of a wonderful hobbie!!!!

My first beer was crap too, yet I didn't really notice how bad it really was until I brewed better batches. KEEP BREWING!!!!!

Thanks OldFarmer!!!!! That recipe looks interesting.
