So, I went down the cellar, and it looks like I have about 4lbs of 2-row left. ruh-roh. I've been thinking about doing a stout with an alternate base malt... I have a bag of Vienna/Munich/Pils. Anyone ever done a vienna based stout? Does it make a difference? Good? Bad? Any thoughts?

I'm going to be down in South Carolina, near Paris Island for SWMBO's brother's graduation from Boot Camp for the rest of this week. Where is good beer?

So, I'm gonna brew a Vienna smash tomorrow. For hops, I've got: Hallertau Willamette Cascade Amarillo Galena and about 6 ounces of homegrown Zeus. Any suggestions?

Has anyone tried harvesting the yeast/beasties from Jolly Pumpkin? I've got a bottle of La Roja in the fridge, and I've heard that Jolly Pumpkin's stuff all has some funk in it. Can it be harvested? I've got a brown/red in the keezer thats pretty cloying because I used too much...

I just finished picking the hops the previous resident of my home planted last year :ban: I found two labels in the bushes, and it looks like I've got Chinook and Zeus. Now, theres a whole bunch of squid sex goin on with these plants, so I have an idea of which is zeus, and which is chinook...

I'm looking to buy 2 or 3 bags of base grains from Mid Country Malt in the near future. I've currently got 38 lbs of 2-row left, so I don't really need any of that. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna buy a bag of vienna, but what else? Here is my current inventory:

So, I did my first brew on my SQ14 last weekend, and it was pretty windy. Didn't have the flame go out at any point, but the changes in wind were definitely screwing around with my air mixture. So, I went out and got one of these: (8" start collar, home depot, ducts section, about $4)...

I am going to make an order from hops direct, and am looking for suggestions on what hops to buy. I am pretty new to this, so I'm pretty open. WHat are you guys favorite hops? Here is what I have so far: I am willing to make changes. Cascade Pellet Hops 16.50 a/a 5.0 - 8.2%...

Ok, so a little forward: I'm moving into a new apartment, and the stove is old, which means I won't be able to brew on the stove top anymore. Not a huge deal, it just means I need to buy a burner. I've been doing a lot of reading, and can't seem to find any consensus on these things. I'm...

I just finished brewing a light ale and pitched yeast today. I am planning on adding about 40 Oz of frozen raspberry. How do I go about determining final ABV of the beer? Is there any good way to determine the sugar contribution of fruit?

I was making some candied sugar for a belgian. Boiled about 4 lbs to amber. I made a foil tray on the counter for cooling. The tray collapsed, and I lost about 2.5 lbs of sugar to the side of the counter, and floor. I've been scraping it off with a spatula, but anyone got any better ideas?

So, I bought a 20 minute boil nut brown ale kit from midwest, for my first brew. Went through all the directions, into the primary fermenter it went. On, I believe, wednesday, 3/4/09. I got up the next morning, and the airlock is bubbling away. Krausen, et al. Its dry yeast, and it bubbled...
