LOL, I went looking for brewtoad support here as well hoping for the exact same thing. I was going to make a recipe and noticed that it didn't have that. I also noticed that you can't just enter the FG for your brew, you have to play around with the attenuation slider to adjust the FG. It looks...

21613 + 5.5 gallons saison + 5.5 gallons doppelbock + 3 gallons Mile HighPA 21627

Belgians of all styles are far and away my favorite. I think my favorites is Gulden Draak, but I can't get enough of almost any belgian style. I have an odd belgian on tap right now that I would classify as an Imperial Amber Saison since idk wtf else to call it. SWMBO lurves it too. I blended...

In my opinion It's just work, companies don't care enough about employees to justify putting my life at risk. If I don't think I can make it safely, I'm not coming in and I don't care how it makes any of my co-workers feel. My safety trumps their feelings. I wouldn't ask employees to sleep at...

I stayed in Negril and we walked around from place to place without any hassle. Everyone was relatively relaxed unless they were trying to sell you stuff (mainly on the main beach is where that happened). We did have one lady on the beach try to claim we "robbed" her and she said she was going...

If I could still get ingredients then ya I would. Even if alcohol were banned I still would. The law doesn't get to tell me what goes into my body, I'm the only one that does that.

I really like WLP545, I just made one with a blend of that and wyeast 3522 and that has some great belgian flavor and is only 3 weeks old (2 primary, 1 in the keg just tapped 2 days ago). I think that temperature might be your problem, what temp are you fermenting at? I pitch the belgians...

+5.5 gallons of american stout 6678.75

For the Carafa III make sure it is the "special" dehusked variety otherwise you will run into those strong roasty flavors. I just made a black belgian wheat beer and used that for the color, it was really nice. Just a very slight roasty/chocolatey note from the carafa. Here is the recipe if you...

I'm pretty sure the belgian beer bar by my house has some 100$+ brews from their rare bottle room. Most everything is around 10$ a glass (Gulden Draak etc.) Most expensive beer I've consumed, hmmm. I can't remember but it probably was like 20$ for a bomber or something. Best value beer is at...

Sounds like New Orleans is a bit more shady than I thought, just like I like it! I've traveled to some fairly rough areas before and haven't had a problem yet (being 6'5 240 helps lol) but it's good to know I need to keep on my toes. I'm going to have to come back to this thread with swmbo and...

My friends and I do a "Brewery Tour of the Month Club", we just pick one new place and go and imbibe all they have to offer. I know I'm going to miss a few since we've been doing it every month for 2+ years now but here's a crack at it: Coors (lol) Arvada Beer Company Copper Kettle Brewing...

My new favorite hop is missing, Pacific Jade! Here are its stats from here: http://www.nzhops.co.nz/varieties/pacific_jade.html Technical data: HPLC & Oil Composition (Measured within 6 months of harvest, stored at 0 ºC) Alpha Acids 12.0 - 14.0 % Beta Acids 7.0 – 8.0 % Cohumulone...

Awesome, thanks guys! I was weary about bourbon street because I had heard pretty much the negative reviews that creamygoodness gave, we will still check it out but I won't hang around. And thanks for the tip about the Jazz on canal street, I do loves me some good jazz and am really looking...

So swmbo and I are going to the big easy this weekend (ya, ya I know I missed Mardi Gras) and since we've never been and no one else we know has been I turn to you all for some suggestions on what to do/what to avoid. We're both mid 20's and enjoy partying still so we're going to hit up bourbon...

If I remember correctly the brewing network had Glen Tinseth on to talk about the hop formulas awhile ago. He basically said that they are all just approximations and should only be used as guidelines. Also, they were talking about how important it was to stick to using the same one every time...

Now all I can do is picture someone pouring soy sauce into a glass and just drinking away... /barf

I had someone tell me a stout I made tasted like soy sauce. I also had someone else tell me that same night that the exact same stout was the best beer they had ever had. People are weird.

When I think back to it, I was definitely a BMC drinker first who only occasionally branched out to something I knew I liked. I only branched out because we used to go to a beer distributor when I was in college that had a scratch and dent sale 1 saturday a month. You could get a wide variety of...
