When I made my coffee stout this last summer I used a half pound of quality ground coffee in my 5 gallon batch. I basically treated it like making a pot of coffee (cowboy coffee) and poured the entire amount in at flame out. I then let the coffee steep in the hot unfermented wort while I cooled...

Sorry about posting too soon. I will make sure not to do this in the future.

Went to the strong ale fest last night, it was pretty freakin sweet, you just had to make sure that you can box out a space to enjoy the sample that you just pushed your way through a crowd to get. What a line up though, If anyone is going tonight, make sure to try Short River brewing...

I don't know if they have actually changed their recipe, but I also have seen that they quoted different hops at different times. I know that I have a "spec" sheet from their brewery that lists simcoe in the ingredients, which differs from online, which also differs from a 5 gallon batch spec...

I am sure that there are other people out there that have had a great IPA, Double or Triple IPA, or perhaps even a hoppy barley wine that have experienced "sticky or resinous" hops. I am talking about the types that leave that sticky residue on the side of the glass and are pungent enough that...

One of the books that I read way back in the day (and still sometimes consult) that was quite a good overview of Homebrewing, both extract and all grain, is Dave Miller's Homebrewing guide. This book is quite good in getting into the science involved in mashing, boiling, fermentation, etc. but...

This beer is just about ready to be tried, I will likely crack one open in the next couple of days and post tasting notes. I suspect there will be quite a bit more "grapefruit/ citrus" flavors on the forefront of my effort compared to Avery's due to the late addition of Simcoe hops not used in...

Moylans Kiltlifter Scottish Ale Clone This recipe is based on the grain bill emailed to me from Moylans brewery in Novato, California. I think it was a good first attempt at recreating their awesome scottish ale, but it likely lacks some malty/caramel characteristics present in Moylans...

So after about a 8 year hiatus and a 4 week long PNW/N. Cal brewery roadtrip I am finally back to brewing (this time stepping up to all grain). During the trip I fell in love with Moylans Kiltlifter Scottish style ale. I emailed Brendan Moylan and he sent me his spec sheet for the beer which is...
