I am sampling a IIPA from Harpoon called Leviathan. I think it is nothing short of brilliant with rich malty backbone and scores of hops that promote bio-porn in your mouth. All this while planning tomorrows AG brew day. Tomorrow I planning to brew an AG IIPA that will hopefully become the...

Not sure if this technique exists but I had an idea today. I plan to add one - two ounce(s) of hops in a weighted sanitized hop bag into my bottling bucket and then add my sugar water. After a two minute rest I will rack my beer into the bucket and let it sit for another five minutes. I...

After my daddy duties are over for the evening, I think it is time for a little middle of the week drinkin. Anyone else feel like making tomorrow suck?

Well this is what I get for drinking and brewing. I just made some more of Ed's Apple Wine and accidently used the yeast that I needed to brew my APA. So, that leaves me with Montrachet yeast for my APA. I am at the point of no return in the brewing process to stop. Can any one tell me...

I NEED to brew, but I am fzucking broke. I found out that my federal tax break check will be coming in paper check form because I used HR Block and paid for it out of my refund. I am married with two kids so the check is going to be sweet but I sure could fzucking use it right fzucking now. I...

Anyone want to talk scotch? Good.... not so good..... whatever...

It's been three weeks since I bottled my IPA. I popped the cap off one yesterday. Tastes great but there was barely a bubble in the glass. This is the first batch we've brewed where it didn't carbonate after three weeks. This also the biggest beer we've brewed. The OG was 1.090 and the FG was...

Last nights menu consisted of DFH60, DFH90, DFH Aprihop, DFH IBA, Blithering Idiot BW and some of my homebrew....... Time to ride out the storm...... I managed to convert a few Miller Light drinkers so I would call it good night.

I am having a Red Hook/Long Hammer IPA. It's pretty good. Not enough hops but more than a pale ale. What's in your hand?

I brewed my stout this past Friday and all seems well. While gazing at the carboy just a few minutes ago I began to wonder..... dry hop....or not. It's a five gallon batch of chocolate stout. I have 3oz of Amarillo in the freezer and I was thinking about dropping an oz in the carboy in a few...

I was making my starter last night and something funky happened. I shook up (like always) my tube of WL London Ale yeast, opened it up and half of it spewed out. :confused: This has never happened to me before so I am a little confused. Perhaps there was active fermentation going on in the...

Tonight I am drinking some pretty good beers. However, tonight I am drinking them from a brandy snifter instead of a pint glass. IMHO, it's like night and day. Beer is just fantastic drinking from one these glasses. Having a: 1. SN Bigfoot BW Ale 2007 - Really love it 2. Heavy Seas Loose...

I want to make this kit for my SWMBO in a big way. http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?cPath=178_452_43_251&products_id=1114 My SWMBO is a big fan of Guinness. Is this recipe worth it or should I look for something else. FYI - I am strictly extract vs AG at the moment due to...

I picked up a sixer of 2007 SN Bigfoot Ale. It's ninja beer and I can't see straight. Cheers.....mumble mumble.... ...... :mug:

I have an extra pound of DME left over from my recipe. Would I have any real benifit from using DME for carbonation vs. corn sugar?

So, I bought a sixer of DFH 60 minute IPA, 18pk of Bud swill, and four bottles of good wine for my small party this weekend. She has plenty of wine left and I was able to save two of my IPA's. Although I admire her taste in beer, she drank them both. Aint that some ****? I am out of home...

I just ordered some White Labs WLP001 for my IPA recipe. I have never used liquid yeast before. How should I store it when I get it? A "Correct way to make a starter" link would be helpful too. Thanks.

Just sayin cheers after the game folks. Work is going to suck tomorrow. But till then, let's :tank: and get :cross: :cross:

Thank you NY. I have earned enough from the squares to buy my next batch of brew. I promise to make this batch a strong IPA and call it........Manning IPA.... ok, that name sucks. Perhaps Arizona IPA is more fitting. CHEERS :mug:
