Schlafly taproom or bottleworks? Any other good beer that I should try?

Anyone know of any good iPhone apps geared toward brewing?

My friend's mother has a gluten allergy, and asked me about brewing beer that is GF. My buddy and I were thinking of brewing her a 3 gallon batch of something, but were concerned about the shelf life. She doesn't drink very often, and we're worried that it may not age very well. Those of you...

So yesterday my dad told me he had a few surprises for me. Turns out it was four 5 gallon pyrex carboys. Three are graduated, and all four have a clear rubber like coating on them. Also an 8 gallon stainless pot. The only problem is that the openings on the carboys are large. Like 2.5 inch. I'll...

So I made a batch of graff on Halloween last year. I kinda forgot about it until a month or so ago. So it's been in bottles for three weeks and man is it tasty. I was a bit curious about how well it would hold up, but it's still very good. This is one of the better mistakes that I've made in a...

Is it possible to email a recipe file from beersmith to a friend who also uses the program? I have tried searching, but have not found my answer. TIA.

Does anyone know if the Bell's mini kegs are charged with CO2? A friend of mine had been wondering because he found one at a store near his house.

I just have to say it. I'm really excited for the Decatur craft beer festival tomorrow. I just saw a list of breweries and now i'm even more excited. Anyone else going to be there?

I wanted to know if anyone has tried to transfer to a secondary in a carboy by pulling vacuum on the carboy and letting it pull the beer over. It seems like it could work very well with little to no chance of aeration. Any thoughts?

I just found out today that I'm going to have a little BOY :ban:

I can't decide Bell's Pale Ale x 3 Bell's Amber x 1 Bell's Porter x 2 Magic Hat #9 x 4 Magic Hat HIPA x 4 French Broad Altbier x 1 French Broad Rye Hopper x 1 French Broad 13 Rebels x 2 Bridgeport IPA x 1 Anchor Merry Christmas '08 x 5 Anchor Merry Christmas '07 x 4 Anchor Merry...

Right now I'm brewing Orfy's Mild Mannered ale (or something close to it). It's about 65 outside with a cool light breeze. I'm sipping on a New Belgium Hoptober, and life could not be better right now. I'm thinking It should be dubbed the Mild Fall Evening Ale.

Just though everyone should know.

So I will be teaching my cousins husband how to brew all grain in a few weeks and he said he wanted to brew an American Amber. He said that he would like to brew something similar to Bell's Amber. I pieced together a rough recipe and would like your expert knowledge of grain character to see if...

So I recently brewed Ed's Kolsch. I tasted my first one last night and it was fantastic, and I found myself wondering where part of the flavor came from. It was a kind of strawberry grapefruit note. It was subtle, but added a nice finish to the beer. I used the WLP029 Kolsch yeast and fermented...

So I'm on vacation this week, and what a better way to kick things off than brewing a Two Hearted clone! I just took a sample of the first all grain beer that I made (Ed's Haus Pale Ale dry hopped with 1 oz whole leaf cascade for two weeks) and it tastes amazing already. I can't wait to bottle...

I'm planning on trying a spontaneous fermentation later this year, and if it works I would like to save some of the yeast. I have an idea of a way to crop a sample of yeast to save. The reason I devised this plan is that I've heard that if top cropping yeast that it isn't recommended to hold on...

So on Friday I brewed my second all grain batch, Ed's Kolsch. The brew day went flawlessly I hit all of my temps and gravities. For the first time with this batch I made a starter using WLP029. The starter worked great and after 36 hours I had a nice layer of yeast settling a bit. I cold crashed...

Does anyone know a recommended temperature range for Danstar Munich. I've searched everywhere and can't find anything. I've got the water in my swamp cooler down to 55-58 degrees and my fermometer strip is showing 58 degrees and I'm wondering if I'm way too cold or what?

This beer is fantastic. I was in North Carolina a few weeks ago to visit a friend and I decided to pick up some local beer. I bought a bomber of each of the French Broad beers. It's around 90 degrees here today so I was in the mood for something light and refreshing, and this beer hit the spot...
