Summer is soon upon us and I can barely restrain myself from replacing all the liquid in my diet with Stillwater Classique. Does anyone have a good clone? Between their website and a few interviews I have gleaned that it might be an updated recipe for a beer called National Bohemian, an...

Kegged this up a few days ago, extremely happy with the results. Loosely based off of a Ruination clone. Ontario has one hop farm that sells direct to anyone, and based off these juicy green Centennial pellets, they know what's up! Check out www.clearvalleyhops.com. 6.5 G batch (lots of...

Hey all, I've been at it for about a year and have finally decided it's lager time. I wanted to start off fairly simple, so I opted for a sort of American Amber Ale to be fermented Lager style. It won't fit any particular style guidelines but it felt like something I might want to drink...

Laying down my first long term sour sometime over the next week or so. I was hoping to make something along the lines of a sour Belgian Golden. Mashing around 156F. Plan to diversify bugs with a couple good commercial sours (good excuse to consume some of the Liefmans Goudenband and La Trou...

Really excited to have kegged this a few days ago! Aimed for a slightly darker colored, full bodied IPA with piney, resinous hops. Can barely wait to tap in another week and a half. Aiming for rustic, didn't bother with Irish moss or a significant cold crash. Hydrometer samples indicate we...

I recently switched to kegging and am in the process of carbonating my first brew. I'm not sure what I should or shouldn't be seeing as I go along so I thought I would check in with the experienced keggers on the forum. My setup is a converted fridge with a pass through tap, 4' of beverage...

Back in May I brewed up a 3G batch of Berliner with an OG of 1.040. I gave it three days with just lacto and kept it cozy with an aquarium heater and waterbath, at this point it had dropped to 1.030. It came up nice and sour and I pitched a smack pack of 3191 Berliner Weisse Blend. After a week...

Got my hands on a new 5 litre charred American white oak barrel for my birthday! It came with comprehensive setup instructions, so all those bases are covered, but I'm wondering WHAT to do with it. I've heard of barrels being used for all sorts of brewing steps, but the fact that this one is...
