I brewed a lambic over the weekend (Friday) and placed it into a makeshift coolship on my back porch (not a covered porch) to cool. It was outside for about 15 hours before I racked it into a carboy on Saturday morning. The weather was about 40-50 degrees. Late sunday night I noticed about 2...

I love brewing outside the box and I have fun challenging myself with off-the wall techniques. Recently I have been wanting to attempt a beer fermented with dirt. I was thinking of collecting some soil from somewhere less traveled, maybe like the side of a mountainous hill. I will probably just...

What flavor should I make this??? I am always steaming with ideas for my sours but this one has me stumped. I just can't figure out what I want to put into it. It is a blonde ale, 75% 2-row and 25% wheat. (OG 1.060)Kettle soured with probiotics for 36 hours (very tart). It is in the primary...

Have you guys seen this stuff? call me old school or cheap but seriously!?!?!? You are that lazy that you can't make your own yeast starter??? I just use third runnings....boil for 10 minutes...and store in the kegerator until future need. I guess it makes for a good marketing product (for lazy...

I have an amber that I brewed about 5 months ago. After one month in primary with a collection of sacc and brett, I added some oak chips which had soaked in a white wine, along with Jolly Pumpkin Dregs, and about 5 lbs of cherries. The cherries were Oregon canned cherries. I just took a smell...

I started all grain early last year and made a couple batches before I learned about water chemistry. My first all grain was a belgian dubbel. It was racked to a secondary and has been there for a while. I guess I just havnt figured out what to do with it. It tastes like a dubbel but has a very...

Has anyone had this yet? What is the MRSP in your area? I have a chance to get 3 for $23 each.

^^^ Just like it says ^^^ when using a water chemistry calculator and adding in a percentage of Acidulated Malts, is this based on total grist or only base malts? What about using oats, rye, or splet??? I have a pale ale coming up next week that will use 11 lbs of 2-row 1 lbs of carapils...

Now while I am sure there is a post somewhere about this......I don't care. :D Just wanted to post what I am drinking right now. This is the one and only bottle of my ??Belgian nut brown?? I had a 1 liter starter of Whitelabs Abbey Ale Yeast going at the end of October. I used wort from a batch...

My club has recently obtained a 53 gallon bourbon barrel from a local brewery who supports us. The brewery got the barrel from Jack Daniels and used it twice for a BB Stout. They have since gifted it to us for what ever we want to use it for. As a club we have voted to go the traditional BB beer...

Like it says... I have access to new glarus beers and other WI breweries. Would like to try some sours that I can't get around here. New trader here but I have to start somewhere Would LOVE to get a try of Russian River Temptation

I just recently got my water report back from Ward Labs and have been trying to use all this water software and reading up on this stuff. It is work but I find it somewhat enjoyable and hope it produces a better beer(not that I am complaining about what I have been brewing). Anyway, this is my...

Yup, my old drinking buddy got wind that I have been brewing my own for a while now. I'm heading to his place tonight to chill out and let him sample some of my offerings. I know he is a hop head so I am bringing 5 bombers for us to try. An all cascade IPA A Rye-P-A A mild bitter A dry...

Just thought I would share a pic of some experimentals I have in the works. I love pulling a gallon off of almost every brew and trying something crazy with it. From right to left they are as follows: Cider on blueberries Cider on mangos Milk stout with Brett Golden ale with lacto and lemons...

I would assume the the majority of us on here all consider ourselves to be beer connoisseurs. we partake in the drinking of very tasty, sometimes rare, beverages and know our stuff. I mean come on...who got into this hobby (and is still doing it) just to brew batch after batch of Budweiser...

I plan on brewing my first Berliner Weisse soon. After a TON of research I have decided to not do a sour mash but rather pitch a 1 liter starter of lacto for 7 days and then pitch my sacc. My question is two fold... #1. Can I make a 1.5 liter lacto starter and store the extra 1/2 ltr in my...

If you have had this then you know that it is very tasty. I would like to clone it but am having major difficulties figuring out a good recipe. All my research and an email from the brewery have only gotten me this much info. There are 4 grains used, one of which is 2-row and one of which is...

I have learned a ton in my short time on this forum. I enjoy imparting knowledge to others from my own personal experiences when I can and look forward to continuing to participate here. Most of all.......I WANT IN ON BEER EXCHANGES!! :rockin: Happy 100th to me :mug:

I'm cleaning out the freezer and I have 8 oz. of hops left to use up. I want to make a Cascadian Dark Ale (black IPA) and want to use all of these hops. I haven't ever mixed this many hop variety's without a recipe so I would like some help. I don't have the grain bill figured out yet but what...
