I made 5 gallons of 1.135 old ale a year ago that is just finishing up oaking. I had under aerated and under pitched WLP007 as my primary yeast and ended up at a FG of 1.055 (I drank to much on brew day...). I wanted to go lower so I made a 1 liter starter with WLP099 and pitched it into my...

I entered my first brewing competition this year at the MN state fare. Among my entries was a barley wine I brewed a couple years ago to what I thought was dead on style guidelines: 1.100 OG 1.022 FG 50 IBU 90min boil Mash 152F single infusion 98% Maris Otter 2% Caramel 100% East...

I have been wanting to brew up something to age till my 6 month old can drink for some time now. I just got a new SS brewtech 15 kettle and I have a 3 day weekend so now is the time. To reference the time it was made I thought I would do a Brexit Old Ale with an EU bitter partigyle. OG -...

I am in the process of building up a Danby kegerator into a nice triple tower. I have 3 Pearlic 630SS taps already and all my lines, thus I just need some nice elbow shanks and a tower. I can't seem to find anywhere that sells stainless elbow shanks or towers without any hardware that are...

Not all beers need a story but this one does, I'll keep it short... I lost my grandpa a few months ago. While we were going though the estate I found a 1990 Thomas Hardy Ale. Later that year I had my fist kid. To celebrate the birth of my son with cracking the T-Hardy 25 years after it was...

I'm overdue for my first Old Ale and have some general questions that I couldn't quite find clarity on through searches, here we go. My general recipe stands like this: OG 1.089 (want the high end and aging) FG 1.022 IBU 60 SRM 29 90min boil EFF of 65% 14# Maris Otter 1#...

Yes, I have done a search on this and I haven't found anyone with the same issue. (got that out of the way) I brewed my Russian Imperial in October, when I was buying my supplies they didn't have the yeast I wanted so I got talked into WY1098 (ABV tolerance of 10% on WYeast page). Not...

Planning on doing a RIS this weekend and was wondering if anyone has ever tried hop bursting any other beers than IPAs / PAs and had much success. I am going to use Columbus, Cluster, and Northern Brewer on the RIS and am curious to see if bursting would give me some good back side hop flavor...

I am drinking my way through an IPA that I made a few months ago and am having extreme amounts of head, so much so that I am really having a hard time getting any beer to pour the bottle conditioned beer without getting 7/8 head in my glass. I tried a few things I haven't done in the past for...

Hey, I am looking to do a big hoppy IPA with El Dorado and citrus hops with some grain bill interpenetrated from Lagunitas Sucks recipes I have found on HBT. 6 Gal batch 75% Efficiency 1.075 OG 45% Canada Malting pale 30% Golden Promise 15% Rahr Red Wheat 6% Golden Naked Oats 4%...

Has anyone played around with this stuff in a RIS, bourbon barrel stout, or any other high gravity beer? White Labs labels it Tennessee Whiskey Yeast and states it is good for high gravity stuff (makes sense).

I am looking to do my first RIS soon and have been reading a lot about mash out additions or steeping the roasted grains at room temp for a day and adding them at the boil. I understand the concept and am interested to try it but I am wondering if it something you would want to do when you want...

This is by far my favorite coffee beer ever made. It seems like a pretty simple concept in a standard mild pale ale and a tun of cold press and beans. Having never done a coffee beer I am wondering what to do with this kind of recipe on a small scale. I would probably start with a an amber...

Been brewing for a while and looking to brew my first RIS for next winter. I don't do a lot of porters/stouts but the weather lately has gotten me in the mood (shaking my fist at the Minnesota Skies). I would love some feedback on my recipe (finishing it up) and have some questions of my...

Been brewing for about a year now all on all grain. Love what I've done and love this community. Looking forward to a long life of good beers. :mug:
