If anyone in the DC area hasn't been to Port City in Alexandria, or DC Brau, in DC, I highly recommend visiting these breweries. Good beer and good people!

It was awesome seeing y'all! I'll see y'all when I make it to NOLA. Drive safe and enjoy the rest of the trip! :mug:

Holy crap! That is awesome! Geaux Tigers!!!

Nice! :mug:

Use a blow off tube instead of the little airlock...

Exactly! If it ain't broke, why try to fix it? :mug:

Awesome stuff! :ban:

Planning to transfer three batches to secondary today (Vanilla Porter, Dunkel Weiss, and Amber (leftover)). Might brew a Cream Ale tomorrow. :drunk:

Awesome! :mug:

Yep, probably food poisoning...it'll likely be tough to drink the same beer again after having it come back up so violently, but I doubt that was the cause. Good luck! :mug:

Awesome stuff! :rockin:

Good luck Dichotomus! Definitely interested in hearing how this turns out...very interesting brew/method... I've use coffee many times in stouts and I usually brew a fairly strong 10 cup pot of dark roast coffee and dump in the kettle at flame out. That works great for me...plenty of coffee...

Just built this last week...bought a 7.2 cu ft freezer from Lowes and converted it. :ban: Had to reinforce the lid with a block of wood (1" X 12" X 12"). Managed to slide it in between the insulation and sheet metal.

Yep, just steep the chocolate malt. I would probably add a little extract and boil for 15 minutes after the steep to try get the gravity up. The only reason to boil would be for sanitation reasons... Good luck!:mug:

Indeed! :mug:

I've had a few "learning experiences" over the years...my absolute worst was brewed in 2001 and became known as the "Gatorade of Beers" by my Marine Corps brothers. I attempted to brew a Wit and wanted to put a "hint" of orange in it, but didn't know what I was doing at all. I grated zest...

I've re-pitched directly into the primary in the past and didn't notice any problems... As for transfering onto the IPA yeast, I would certainly go for it and see what happens. With the high gravity beer, you may need a yeast that can handle the higher alcohol content...not entirely sure on...

Got my delivery from Lowes and built a new kegerator... 7.2 Cu. Ft. Frigidaire I think I'll be able to fit four kegs...put the CO2 on the hump.
