Brewing this right now but putting a little twist on it. I plan on dry hopping with some Rosemary. Using about 10g of rosemary after about 10 days in the fermenter. Hopefully turns out great!

I used to have a good hefeweizen recipe on hand but seem to have lost it. So, I decided to design my own. Let me know what you all think. I used Saaz hops because I had a spare ounce lying around that I wanted to use up. Also, I typically like using the Weihenstephen yeast so next time around...

Domminigan, it is chalkboard paint. Easy way to remind myself what's in each keg.

It's thin brick. Put up cement board and lathe with scratch coat on the drywall previously there.

More pics of the basement

Btw all the brick was put up by me and my cousin. Previously, it was drywall. Including on the pillars.

Cloudy brewer, both are replicas. Eventually may get the real thing. But they are charleville 1763 flintlock musket and a George Washington replica pistol.

Haven't posted here in a while but that's because I've been hard at work with my mancave so I thought I would share because it's almost complete! Just finished my keezer and happy to announce that I have operational taps! Really been wanting to do this home bar for a while and now it's finally...

So I've now finally gotten most things together to build my keezer. A while back I found a junky HUGE chest freezer that I could use for my keezer and I got it for free so I figured I would just use all the 22 cu. ft. space it had and have a LOT of taps (10 to be exact) on my home bar. Today I...

Brewing this right now. Last time I brewed this I changed the recipe a bit and used the Rochefort yeast strain and changed the Candi Syrups up a bit. Was kinda limited based on my LHBS's in the area. The beer came out super malty at first (which I've had happen on several Trappist style ales...

I added the roasted barley really more for color than anything. And I decided to add the peanut butter at kegging because that's how I've usually added flavoring to a lot of my beers in the past when I want more flavor to come out. I have a chocolate raspberry stout recipe that I add the...

Found some Peanut Butter flavoring at my LHBS and figured I would use it as I LOVE peanut butter (who doesn't?). I've had chocolate peanut butter stouts before and have not been too impressed yet so thought I would try a PB&J Stout. I just put together this recipe today. My intent was to have...

Brewing my usualy Chocolate Raspberry Stout today and the typical yeast I use (Wyeast London Ale) isn't available at my LHBS anymore. In fact all my local LHBS's only carry dry yeast now. I have both Nottingham and Windsor in my stock and was wondering which would be better for this type of...

Ok. Got the turbinado sugar. Brewing it right now. Was only able to get 2 lbs. of Amber candy syrup though. Thinking to substitute the other .25 lbs. with D1 candy syrup. Don't think it will make much of a difference but we will see how it turns out! Thanks!

Looking to probably do this brew tomorrow as a last brew before I deploy. The upside to this brew will be that because of deployment it will bottle condition for a year (which is usually really hard for me). I can't get ahold of Turbinado sugar unfortunately and not really sure how much of a...

I had considered adding to something lighter but I kinda prefer berries or fruity flavors in darker beers (one of my favorites for me and my wife to brew is a Chocolate Raspberry Stout). And adding the real berries was a possible option of mine hence getting them fresh picked in the summer and...

Had some Huckleberry ice cream last week and thought that it would really taste good in a stout. Thinking about brewing this but just worried about finishing it in time before I deploy. Anyone have any experience using these in a brew? How much should I use? There's a place up here in Alaska...

Just brewed a batch of New World yesterday but added a few twists. Instead of 1.5 lbs. of Dark Belgian Candy Syrup I added 1 lb. of Dark Syrup and 1lb. of Dark 2 Syrup. Also I pitched Wyeast 1762 Belgian Abbey II yeast. I overshot on my cooling and it cooled down to about 58 instead. Not sure if...

Well the ring is in the plans. If it is a trap oh well. She still won't have a problem with me brewing. She used to only drink BMC and champagne and now only drinks homebrew or microbrews! She now claims her favorite is my Chocolate Raspberry Stout!

So I decided yesterday to brew two batches (a Wit and a hefeweizen). My girlfriend just recently moved in with me and has helped to brew one batch previously (not including the two we did yesterday). So yesterday we were starting to brew and she said that anything I needed cleaned to just give...
