Drop the coffee and you've got a chocolate delight right here. Brewed it many times: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/chocolate-coffee-stout-chocolate-jitterz-35562/

Sweetwater LowRYEder IPA. Good stuff.

I can understand them sending a canned response. I'm sure they get requests like this all the time and it takes time away from actual work. OTOH, there are a lot of brewers/brewery folks who are very forthcoming and willing to share info. It's been my experience that brewers - home or pro -...

I don't hate you. I hate what you've become.;) Congrats on the great find.

Had a great time, even though I didn't place. I didn't expect to. The food was terrific and the PU was very fresh. Congrats to all. My wife and I were pulling for the person who ultimately won to win b/c he drove all the way from Ohio.

You guys are really making me look forward to this. I don't think my Pils has an ice cube's chance in hell of winning, but I think it'll be a great experience. My wife and I will be there tomorrow night. Big congrats to you both! Damn fine job.

We haven't even been as far north as Kenosha in the last year and a half! Been to busy! We'll head up there someday - maybe for our 5th anniversary in 2013. Get the 6 gal. better bottles! All of mine are 6 gals. and I like them a lot. I am slowly converting all but a couple of 6.5 gal...

For all you old farts over 50 (like me), I have two things for you: Better Bottle Inexpensive hand cart with bungee cords I do 10 gal. batches almost exclusively and these save me lugging around heavy things.

Brewing mine this Saturday.

I'm in. I will beat you Drawtap88! lol

MillerCoors caused the plug to be pulled. Nobody will come out and say it, but that's what happened.

And believe it or not, they have run 'taste tests' and cats prefer Coors yeast over any others. Researchers don't know why.

I'm just now starting to read over the BJCP Exam Study Guide and plan to take the course as soon as I can. One judge gave our club a good tip: he has been printing out Avery labels w/ his name, ID# and email on them for years. The current score sheets now provide an area that specifically...

I brewed and served all the beer at mine. Caterer had no problems, nor did the venue. Just do it and forget about any legal issues. Whatd'ya think, some Eliot Ness type is going to raid the wedding or something?

Check the Autospihon to see it it is getting worn and letting air in. Just a thought - if it was pre-hopped extract, I'd suspect that. Have they all used pre-hopped extract?

Large amounts of some PNW hops - Cascade, Citra, etc., can give a catty aroma. I doubt it is the taste but the aroma that you are picking up. Plug your nose, take a taste and see how it is. Will the cattiness subside? Probably not. Giving it a really long aging period might help. Or try...

I always add it with 10-15 mins. left in the boil. In your case, I'd boil some water, add it and cool before adding to your beer. Kinda like adding priming sugar.

As you have admitted, your reaction was not good. You should have finished your beer (why waste good beer, no matter how angry you are?), paid, left no tip and complain loudly to the manager and to the owner, since he has acknowledged his appreciation for your business. If the bartender...

I found this years SA O'fest to be much better this year than last. But I only had it on tap; no bottles. I think I tasted some crystal malt in it, which isn't really to style, but I really enjoyed it. I preferred my own O'fest over theirs, but still, I thought it was better than some other...

I'll put in a word for the Rock Bottom on Grand Ave. in Chicago if you happen to be near there. It is much better than most of their locations. I'll second Two Bros.; great place with good food. Try the fish tacos.
