Been brewing forever and made what should have been a routine wheat ale that is unfortunately weak in malt and hop flavor, bitterness, etc. Not sure what I did but having a buddy over and drinking all afternoon had something to do with it. It is currently on tap but I want to toss it all back...

Ok, so I had a “kit-extract only” brew buddy over on Sunday to show him my BIAB (wheat ale) and partial grain (steam ale) setups on Sunday…perhaps I had too many homebrews in me while planning this, and we had too many homebrews in us during the session (at least for the BIAB)…:drunk...

Ordinary Bitter...just tapped the keg for the Bowl...good stuff! I made the label way back in 2009 but never got to brewing a bitter until last month or so. Why, I have no idea. Enjoy!

I have two brew log bound books. One from '95 to '00 and one from '00 to the present (almost full - feel guilty it is not). I've got a few things in the pipeline, needed some new ideas, and looked back through my first bound log to find out what I rated "top dogs"...decided to order some...

Ha. Overfilled a 5G corny this morning transfering a "house ale"...was busy washing something, heard the siphon slurp, looked up, a pint (or two) on the floor. :o Not done that in almost 10 years....I'll chalk it up to a sacrafice for the Gods! Was too worried about SWMBO'd and only...

Argg. Ordered/got two new Pepsi kegs converted to ball-lock that were cleaned. One was fine...I just cleaned (yep, OCD), pressurized, no problems. The second holds pressure but WTF is up with the black rubber! Tried to wash but the black gets EVERYWHERE! Had to toss out two scrubbies and my...

I don't care what anyone says...dry yeast rules!!! Although I do wash yeast from batch to batch when I remember, and make starters on occassion, I was tired of spending $$$ on liquid yeast. Tired of spending $$$, I recently bought a bunch of SafeAle, etc. packets to keep on hand. I...

OK, before you post, don't tell me this is a bad idea...I know already (but I like to try what I can't buy)!!! :drunk: Anyway, I've found a pizza ale recipe that is an amber ale with a bunch of pizza-type herbs/spices added in the boil. I've Googled and there is apparently a commercial...

While drinking (of course) and watching TV on a Saturday night, my wife and I took a few pictures of our Duck Toller because we apparently thought he looked like a giant rat just laying there on his mess of a bed. I immediately came up with “Big Fat Rat” and the rest is as you see it. The label...

JadeDog asked, so here it is... Not my best, but did clear out my freezer of all the stuff that has been hanging arround. It has aged well in bottles after 8 months...my friends have enjoyed it. I'd go a bit lighter on the raspberry and the chocolate left some milk solids in the bottles, but...

I've got a chili lager in the primary but have not found much information on how to flavor using real chili peppers. Right now it is simply a light lager. The recipie indicates to add a jalapano to each bottle at bottling but I think this will result in beers with no chili flavor if they are...

Here's the sample I threatened... I made it with Excel (cut/paste pics from the web, etc.) and made six different girls, err, labels...one for each bottle in a six pack of my Ginger Ale...I call it my "pack of Gingers". :p If you guys enjoy, I'll post the other five. Cheers!

New to this forum. Just ordered a sweet twin faucet ceramic tower off e-bay for about the same price (or less) as a chrome single faucet and want to use it as the centerpiece for a home bar. I'm planning on putting a small fridge undercounter and running insulated PVC from the top of the...
