I haven't been on here, or brewed in quite some time (6 months or more I think!!!). Figured I'd stop in and say hi to everybody. Just picked up some ingredients today to do BM's Centennial Blonde and get some appfelwein going. How are things going on HBT?? Still filled with nothing but a...

So I've been wanting to make an oatmeal stout for quite sometime now. Problem is I've always done steeping grains/extract. I've never tried a PM batch. I honestly didn't think I even had the equipment for it, but then I realized I had a cooler, and a colonder that I use for straining...

Okay, so we are having a hot summer in CO. I haven't brewed yet this summer not because of that but because I didn't have a job. Well I'm employed now, so I ordered ingredients for 3 batches of beer. I brewed the first one Thursday night. It was my Colorado Cream Ale except that I pitched...

So I went to grab something out of my closet today (which is where I have one of my beers sitting in the secondary), and I hadn't looked in there for 5 or 6 days. Anyway, There is a nasty white film growing on the top of the porter that I brewed about a month ago. I was planning on waiting a...

Anybody else seen this? I just got done watching it for the second time in a week and a half. Powerful, moving, enlightening, sad movie.

I'm sitting here enjoying a Hog Heaven Barleywine from Avery. And as I'm drinking it I keep thinking that it reminds me of something. So I think about it for a minute then it occurs to me. This reminds me a lot of a DFH 90/120 min IPA. So I look up the stats for the 90 min. 9% alcohol, 90...

My last order from Morebeer was about $5 short of being at the free shipping level, so I added 5 lbs of German Pilsner extract to throw it over the top. Now I'm trying to come up with a recipe for it, and I thought it might be fun to try an extract version of a SMaSH recipe. I realize I don't...

Ma2brew's tasting thread made me decide that I should start a thread of my own. He does an awesome job with his descriptions, and I don't think that I can come nearly as close to matching the great descriptions that he has, but I think if nothing else this thread will serve as notes to myself...

Yea, I think it's pretty much official. I've got 5 gallons of Russian Imperial Stout, 5 gallons of a New Belguim Frambozen Clone (basically a raspberry brown ale), and 2 gallons of hard cider brewing. That's 12 gallons of booze folks. But is that enough for me?? I guess not, because I can't stop...

I don't really buy beer much anymore, I usually just prefer to drink my homebrews. But completely on a whim I decided to stop in to the liquor store tonight to see if anything caught my eye. And what did I find sitting on one of the shelves??? DFH 120 min!!!! This is the first time I have ever...

My girlfriend loves Frambozen from New Belgium, and I have to admit I'm pretty fond of it myself. I'm trying to come up with a clone recipe based upon taste, and based on the info found here: http://www.newbelgium.com/beers_fz.php Here is what I have: 6 lbs LME 6 oz cara pils 6 oz...
