Target OG 1.054, 39 IBU's, Color 10.5 SRM Would London or Burton be a better target water profile?

...specifically in an ESB? The descriptions of these malts seem very similar. Does Special B impart something unique that is missing in C120, or vice versa? And if so would it be an inappropriate addition to an ESB? Fairly simple grain bill: 12 lbs Golden Promise .5 lb Crystal 10 or 20 .25 lb...

...dead hooker. I know that I found the sticky "Sizing Your Chest Freezer for Corny Kegs" in the kegging forum extremely helpful when building my keezer. I thought maybe we could compile a similar thread for the crowd here, what with New Years Eve right around the corner. Here is my...

Picked up some Lagunitas Imperial Red a few weeks ago. I've had it before and quite enjoy it. Thinking of trying to approximate the style, though probably not Lagunitas IR specifically. This is what I've come up with, which is based on a lower gravity American Red that I've brewed before. I...

I can't seem to find any info on this. :rolleyes: In the meantime, how about a Tiger Woods game? My best was 100 on my first try, but I can't get past that. http://www.break.com/games/tiger-woods-wife-outrun.html

I usually just keg, but I've got some Belgians coming up that I'd prefer to keep in bottles for the long term. Will these bottles stand up to 3 volumes: http://www.northernbrewer.com/brewing/brewing-equipment/bottling/bottles/ez-cap-bottles-brown-16-oz-with-flip-tops.html If it matters, the...

Can't figure out how to embed from this site, but oh well. Still the funniest Thanskgiving episode ever, though perhaps it shows my age. Oh my God they're Turkeys!

Gotta love foreign ads. Not sure I'd fast forward though this one on the DVR. (Commercial is probably NSF) http://www.m2film.dk/#/Featured-2/

You can watch their reaction upon the first taste and just read their minds. Their first thought is, "This tastes like ass to me but I need to say something good," and the second thought they have is, "What's my obligation to finish this sample?" I was forced into bringing samples (I tried hard...

Any Lions fans here? By the way, drunk chicks in handcuffs are hot...usually.

...arrived courtesy of a member of another (non-beer) forum. Thanks to Cary for these: Three Floyds Dark Lord (Imperial Stout) and Three Floyds ApocalypseCow (Imperial IPA). I'm putting the Dark Lord away for awhile, but I'll try the ApocalypseCow pretty soon.

So I'm cleaning off my desk in the den this morning, which I seldom do. Huge piles of stuff. I'm shredding all sorts of things. I pay bills online and never open anything. Old bills, junk mail...all into the shredder. I'm fixing to shred one from my mortgage company...it's from June. I'm...

I was thinking of brewing the Lagunitas IPA clone recipe from "Can You Brew It." The mash temp is supposed to be 160, but that temp scares me more than a carboy full of StarSan foam. Anyone ever mashed an IPA at this temp? Seems nuts to me, but they said (on the show) that it worked out fine...

Enroute to Montgomery AL for one night. Anyone know the Montgomery Brewpub? Yea or ney?

I mean, I realize that's really dependent on the size and quality of the particular competition, but for just a average (non-national) competition, what sort of scores are generally taking those 1-2-3 spots?

It was mine, it was tapped yesterday, and it was the best beer I've ever brewed. It wasn't my recipe, but rather it was the Green Flash IPA clone from Can You Brew It. It had a buttload of hops, and man it was really good. SWMBO even commented that it was the beast beer I'd ever brewed. It was...

I'm going to try a batch of an IPA using RO water and Burton Water Salts as opposed the the expensive Spring Water that I've been using. I'm confused about the proper dosage. I've seen the number .33 oz (~2 tsp) per 5 gallon batch (added to the mash) but I've also seen everything from 1 tsp to 5...

A 10 day head? WTH? I've got a fairly standard IPA that went into the carboy 11 days ago. Used WLP001 from a starter on a stir plate. Fermentation started within 6 or 7 hours. By the next morning it had a 3 inch krausen on it. Ten days later it still has a 3 inch krausen on it. I'm not going...

Tomorrow I'm brewing the Pullman Brown clone from Jamil's "Can You Brew It?" It's not exact as I made a couple of concessions due to availability. I couldn't get his 60 minute hop, so I substituted Chinook. I have all of the right grains, but altered a few quantities (like .5 lb honey malt...
