Clocking in at around 2% ABV you won't get too :drunk: on this one. My berliner has definitely become my favorite all around summer quaffer. The best part is, it is VERY cheap and easy to crank out a batch. I have entered this beer into four competitions so far. It has one second place, first...

Nice car! http://www.examiner.com/article/mitsubishi-miev-all-electric-arrives-austin ... hmm clicking on the link doesn't work for some reason but if you copy/paste the URL it works ... seems like an HBT issue.

Flanders Red has been my main brewing side project for the last two years. Obsessed with this style, this is my personal pièce de résistance. I am finally happy enough with my recipe and process to post, so here it is. Grain Bill: 6# German Pils 6# Vienna 4.25# Flaked Corn 2.1# Aromatic 1#...

I wanted to make something I can take to my in-laws every year at Christmas when we visit. My father in law loves apple pie (the drink made with Everclear) so I came up with this recipe to make something like that but naturally fermented. I really like how it came out. 4 gallons of apple...

This recipe is inspired by a local micro, (512) Pecan Porter. My plan is to brew this up to age in the blue corn whiskey barrels that currently hold imperial stout and irish red ale. 10.5 gallons, 85% Brewhouse Efficiency: Mash: 79% Maris Otter (18.75#) 8% Crystal 40 (2#) 5% Chocolate Malt, UK...

PM me if you are interested for my address and phone. I will be brewing up a all-grain Saison and a partial-mash Munich Helles. All grain batch will start at 9AM and will be no-sparge, no-chill. Partial mash batch will be doughed in when the Saison hits the boil. A few n00bs from the local...

This highly successful brew will be a yearly brew for winter at my house. I have one keg on tap and another aging in a Bourbon barrel right now which will be mighty tasty when it gets cold outside. :) I brew this up in the spring so it has 6-9 months to condition before tapping. When it's ready...

This recipe is based on Saison Du Mont from Zymurgy magazine. It was the 2009 Big Brew recipe adapted to increase attenuation/gravity and use spices on hand. It took 2nd place at the 2009 Dixie Cup. Grain Bill: 7.25# 2-row 2# Vienna .5# Flaked Wheat .5# Honey .5# Flaked Oats Mashed 149*F for...

My house Irish Red ale. It is best after 4 months of aging, so I brew 10 gallon batches and re-brew when the first keg kicks. The key to this style is malt forward but with a roasty, dry finish. Hop flavor is barely noticeable and there is no hop aroma. If you can lager, even better, use a clean...

My usual brew days are 6 hours. My usual brewhouse efficiency is 75% (83% to kettle). Today I tried out a new setup with my new pump. RIMS, no sparge, no chill. Dumped all 8.25 gal of water into the kettle, added my salts per the water adjustment spreadsheet assuming 8.25 gal of mash volume...

I will be re-brewing my El Dictador sometime this year, and figured it'd be fun to pair it off with another award winning brew so I'm going to take Saq's Hopinator IIPA and brew it with the hops I have on hand. I decided to go with the HBT award winning Hopinator batch #3 grist, and up the...

I would like to host the 1st annual Austin Area Brewoff for HBTers at my house on Sunday October 18th starting around 9:00 AM-ish. (sorry for thread title FAIL... :o) Don't want to bring your rig? Come on by and help us drink beer. :mug: PM for directions and to RSVP (or RSVP on this thread).

Here in Texas I found it a bit tricky to find raw milk. There are only a handful of farms in the state licensed to sell it (and Texas is a big @$$ state, if you haven't noticed) since the Texas ag laws require special inspections and processes that are more stringent than a typical dairy farm...

I have a Portuguese floor corker and wanted to cork Belgian bottles. I figured it out and figured I'd post a mini-howto here with pics so folks don't have to spend two hours scouring search engines before trying it out. You'll need a corker (duh). I already have one because I bottle a lot of...

Roja IPA This is my new house IPA recipe. It has received rave reviews from everyone who has tried it :drunk: so I'm posting it so you can PROST it. Grain Bill (80% efficiency): 10.5# 2-row 14oz Toasted Maris Otter malt (toast on baking sheet for 20 minutes at 350*F) 8oz Flaked Wheat 4oz...

So, I've been wanting to try something WEIRD because I have never done anything really WEIRD yet. But I am not trying to make hooch. So I figure why not let's throw together an honest-to-goodness real recipe, and see how far I can bend the rules and still make a drinkable beer. I give you...

There has been plenty of discussion of yeast slanting in various threads, and I know there are other slanters here on the forums, but I have not seen a definitive thread which walks through the process step by step. So, last time I prepared some slants I took some photos and decided to post a...
