Pale base malt, yet black from careful use of de-bittered black malt or carafa III. Hop as usual for an IPA. As munche said, Sublimely Self Righteous is incredible!

Bumping this because I would like to brew a Kentucky common. If someone has tried this method in the last few months, please share your experience.

Brewed 10 gallons of amber ale today with about 12 members of the Tucson homebrewer's club at Barrio Brewery today... wow said "brew" 3x in that sentence! My brewday recap: boilover missed my OG ran hot wort into fermenter forgot aeration Awesome day! I really enjoyed meeting new...

Wow! I'd like to stop by and check it out. Darren

Epic Man-cave... A sink, electricity and a great water supply... A/C... epic!

PLEASE a couple pics in side those vessels... Heroic build!!!

It's used in case you have a massive fermentation that could clog and shoot beer, trub and said airlock all over the ceiling! After attenuation is reached, you can replace with airlock. Search for photos of the carnage - hilarious!

http://hopville.com/recipe/157309/american-amber-ale-recipes/wakeen-stick Brewed today and mashed a bit low at 150*. Taught a friend to brew so the fever grows another victim! Beautiful day to brew in Tucson... 65* overcast no wind.

+1 on hopsdirect! Just recieved 4 lbs yesterday. Amarillo, Cantennial, Citra & Columbus. All 18oz measure so you get some extra. Less than $1 per oz after shipping. Vacuum sealing into 1oz bags is a chore/labor of love!

"Hops on the doorstep, hops on the doorstep... eyes all wide, sniffing on tha package.. lookin' all excited with tha hops on the doorstep! Hops on the doorstep, hops on the doorstep... vacuum sealer all fired up... lookin' all excited with the hops on the doorstep!" They arrive...

Yeah, like cmoon said. Good luck bro! I'll try to ship out that package of 22oz samples friday. HEERRRBBB!!!

Already planning on this! This dude is the engineering-type-person. I just thought of stuff I learned from you guys during the first 3 batches and tried to consolidate it. It does look long to the neophyte with all the explanations. How about this? wine thief irish moss extra yeast...

Great point! I know it's a lot to swallow. I still regret not buying the vinator 2 years later!

My buddy is taking the plunge and I sent him an email with some recommendations to make life easier. He is ordering the intermediate kit from www.midwestsupplies.com with the betterbottles. It includes an auto-siphon already and that's what I thought of first! He's in the Dallas area in the...

I don't believe boiling is necessary, BUT I may try the gas-off method suggested next time I brew. I have brewed many a beer with water right out of the tap. I believe my beer tastes pretty good. Saq has suggested other ways to treat the water and after meeting him I would say he is much...

cue cheezy beer ad music now... "Real American HEROS...." Seriously, stay safe bro... Beer will be here for ya when you get back. If you're ever in Tucson at DM for any reason, I got a marker for you at Nimbus for some Old Monkeyshine! PM me. Thanks for the ultimate sacrifice for OUR...

+1 on this. I just brewed an all-grain batch that was way under my expected OG. A first for me as I assumed conversion was complete. I like kaiser's suggestion on his youtube decoction video... using iodophor on chalk method. Just my .02 Great write up BTW!

Reminds me of the Exxon Valdez... I hope no wildlife was harmed in the process. Licking fresh wort off water-fowl sounds unpleasant! Please brew another in rememberance...

Well I appreciate all the interest and insight into the fluctuations in our local swill. I've gleaned that the general consensus is that it's a good practice to either: Gas off the chlorine from the water and make water adjustments to the average readings per Chimone... Or, get some...

Go LHBS and if you can, negotiate the price. They will usually waive any shipping and you WANT to keep these guys in business. Unless the are terrible.
