sorry for the long delay in posting. I was in a car accident and did not have to use of either of my arms. I am back to normal now, in any case the beer! it was fantastic for a long time. However after approximately 3 to 4 weeks it became rancid and sour. it is important to note that I did no t...

Drinking a bananna brew right now. Just dropped a beer off with my beer yoda Doug who is adding it to his Friday beer tasting event. Ya!

definitely give it a try. There's no necessity to eat the beer cheese which resides on top after fermentation. But it is not that bad if you do. I plan to make more cream based beers in the future, possibly a peaches and cream beer for the summer.

Ya, I'm excited too see what people other then my roomates and random house guests think of it. I think it will be less bananna-y then you guys expect, I added a lot of banannas, but not as much flavor was imparted as I would have liked. I think that those proud 5% that voted that my beer will...

If its over 20$ ill send you a copy of the ticket and you can send me a check. Otherwise I don't mind covering shipping costs

Ok I know you have really wanted to try it, what's you address?

In other news, now in the primary is a s'moored theme beer made with 2 kinds of 2 row barley, one carmel one lighter, flaked wheat and 2lbs of raw honey ( added on day 3), cinimon, 1.5 lbs of brown sugar and a few ounces of vanilla to simulate the graham cracker taste, a bunch of coco powder...

Ok let's do it. It will be nice and carbonated in A few days. Send me an address of your selected taste tester and ill ship it.

Hmm, bottle bombs sound bad! I haven't tested it with the hydrometer recently, so its probley higher then 10% now that I think about it. Well if there's stil too much sugar in there then I guess an explosion could be cool. My plan is if one blows, ill quick throw a party and drink the rest. It...

I just bottled it, I gave it to 4 other people as taste testers, and I got rave reviews!!!!!! This stuff is great, it is thick and creamy partially from the bananas in it, it tastes very good. I estimate it is 10% alcohol right now. The Target is 12.5% which with some time in the bottle I think...

Bottling begins tonight gentlemen, t-7days till finished bottled beer

Very true, especialy since I boiled it I don't foresee infection, its been weeks and no spoilage.

But will it ferment at all in the fridge? And yes, I lost a lot due to the massive amounts of trube and milk fat I removed.

Well, when my bannana's foster-cream-beer goes global it will be available in every major beer (and cheese) selling establishment. Till then your probably out of luck unless I am struck by a a monumental feeling of charity and go through the hassle of sending you one. Which might happen...

It tastes very banana-ish now with strong brown sugar, cinnamon and spice notes along with a vanilla ending. The cream flavor (Partiality from the lactose added earlier) adds a nice finish and the beer has considerable body. No sour flavors or smells. Due to the amount of spices and molasses...

Definitely adding the bananas to the primary fermentation tank is preferable. boiling them in the wort doesnt add much flavor and it produces a lot of trube. I add sliced and ripened bananas to a grain sock to ferment, it makes for easier extraction.

When viewed in person, it has the color of a werthers caramel

Here are the Pictures from Tuesday's move to the secondary

I would avoid using a propane blowtorch because it very well may imparted propane taste to your grain. However I would use the broil function of your oven, and slightly move your rack to the point where you believe that you are burning hulls yet toasting the starch. It is much more controled...

if I were you I would put in a white peppercorn as opposed to a black peppercorns it has a slightly more fruity flavor which would more likely complement the lime in your beer
