Thanks fellas. You all are awesome!

This may be considered sacrilege here, but are there any non alcoholic sour type beverages that can be bought at regular grocery stores that taste like any tart wilds or sour brews? I really love these, and would like to drink them regularly just for the taste at times instead of paying out the...

I went to the beer store today and treated myself to sours for the night. A bomber of New Belgium's Le Terroir, another bomber of Wicked Weed's La Bonte, 2 Dogfish Head's SeaQuench Ales, and 2 of their Festina Peches... I usually only get sours on occasion due to their pricey stickers, but it...

OK. I've had this brew in the primary going on 5 weeks now. Was going to bottle 2 weeks ago, but haven't been able to get to my nearest LHBS, which is an hour away. Wanted to dry hop Simcoe and Amarillo, but they were out of both. I ended up dropping 3 ounces of Cascade in tonight. Is this an...

I've got 4 kiddos 11 years old and under, a full time job, a wife, kid's basketball games to go to, dance rehearsals, the list goes on. So, for this reason, I brew extract.... and while I like the idea of brewing my own beer, it's a pain in my @ss. However, the final product is worth it and...

Thank you Morry! It's because of Wicked Weed that I am now a huge fan. I picked up a bottle of their Brettaberry ale and fell in love. And I am interested in brewing that Berliner Weiss if you could send me that link.:)

Wow! Thanks for all the responses.:mug: There were a couple suggestions of brews I'm certainly going to seek out.

I've recently entered the realm of sours and they have quickly become my favorite beer. However, me wallet doesn't feel the same. The only affordable sour I have found around my neck of the woods is a sour mash ale from Lagunita's. And while it's good, it's not near the best. Affordable for me...

Thank you brother!:mug: Also just found Revvy's link in another thread on priming options regarding this subject that was helpful. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=94812#post1030376

First off, I apologize if there has already been a thread dedicated to this topic. Nothing came up in the search regarding exactly what I am inquiring about. Anyhow, I just used Northern Brewer's priming sugar calculator and noticed all the different options of different sugars and such used...

Drinking... It's why I started making in the first place.

With adding the extra lb of DME, my OG was 1.061. FG was 1.012 using S-05.

Kona's Castaway IPA. Not bad at all. I've stayed away from Kona for a long time because their mainstay seller is a lager. And while there is nothing wrong with lagers, I'm just not a fan. Bought one of their 12 pack mixed packs because it was on sale and was surprised with their ales...

It's what I'm looking for. Kona Big Wave is under 5%. This will most likely bring me to about 5% using 05.

Sorry bout that... 5 gallons.

Session IPA? I can think of worse things to drink. ;) Thanks for your input brother.

Unfortunately, I don't own either atm. I'm planning on a partial boil with this one. I can usually get these down to pitching temp in about 20-25 minutes with an ice bath, salts, and a bit of working the kettle back and forth... You think I might get a bit too much hop utilization without a...

This weekend... - 5 lbs Pilsen Light DME - 1 lb Crystal 10 - .5 oz Galaxy (20 min) - .5 oz Galaxy (10 min) - .5 Citra (5 min) - .5 Citra (1 min) - US-05 Looking for something a little like Kona's Big Wave with a tad more ABV.

Got a couple more weeks bottle conditioning for this one. I added a lb of wheat DME and dry hopped with 2 oz Simcoe. Should be great!

Being an extract brewer, I find DME makes a better beer than LME. One of the best Pales I've ever drank was a DME brew... 6 lbs pilsen light DME 8 oz crystal 40 4 oz maltodextrin 1 oz Columbus (60) 1 oz Columbus (15) 1 oz Columbus (1) US-05 Too easy!!:mug:
