Has anyone ever tried to make a Petrus Aged Red? It's probably my wifes favorite beer ever and I'm looking for brownie points to support brewing. I have 10 gallons of an oud bruin clone that I added cherries to about a year ago. Is there something that I can make to blend with this that...

I visited one of my favorite areas of colorado recently and, of course, went to the local brewery, the Dillon Dam Brewery. I've always enjoyed both the beer and food there, but this time they had 2 beers that really piqued my interest and thereafter my palate. One was a chile beer that...

Here's what's up: I decided to brew a batch of beer with my home grown hops straight from the bine. I collected one entire columbus bine just for this 5 gallon batch. I ended up picking in the morning and brewing around noon. I saved about a pound of the fresh hops for an IPA I was putting in...

Hello, out there. I'm in need of a bit of help. I found a cache of wild hops here in Colorado Springs and there's more than I can deal with. They smell just like The Columbus hops I grew this year. They look like they'll be ready in a little over a week. Locals? Suggestions?

Hey everyone, I have a ton of carafoam and a ton of 120 degree crystal malt. I'm looking to use as much as is reasonable in my next recipe, but I'm not sure where to start. I'm into really complex beer with raisin and plum notes. High gravity doesn't bother me. Any help would be, as...

Found some wild hops too late to harvest. When would be the best time to try a transfer to my garden?

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've been on here, and i've run into something. I was doing a large all grain batch of Old Jubilation clone. When I finished rinsing the grain there was still more sugars coming out, so I since I had more water I decided to run another 5 gallons through...

I came across someone selling 2 50# bags of Carafoam and 2 50# bags of caramel 120 L for $20. They come crushed. Is this as good a deal as it seems to me? And what's the best use for these grains? I'm a newb with all-grain, I've only done one Imperial stout. Thanks!

I've found someone selling 2 55 gallon drums of malted barley for $100 each. I was wondering if that's worth it. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I'm thinking about using white espresso in a brew soon, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with it? Would it be a bad addition to a RIS?

My wife is awesome! She found the last kegerator for sale at Sam's club in the clearance area. The fridge had 2 tags on it. 1 was for the kegerator for $238, the 2nd was for a fridge the same size for $99. She asked and they honored the $99 tag. SCORE! Now that I'm done bragging on my wife...

I'm tired of using thermometers with poor accuracy, and since I'm looking at starting AG brewing I need to get a good thermometer that i can monitor from the outside of my tun. Please let me know where I can find a decent one that won't hurt my wallet. Thanks!

I ran across a garage sale today that had a bunch of brewing stuff for sale. Evidently this guy was getting out of brewing because of wifely pressure. I need to know where to look for recipes, or perhaps a few recipe suggestions, to use all this stuff I got for $15. Here's the list as labeled...

I'm brewing an amber wheat recipe and I was wondering if someone who's more experienced could give me a tip on the hops I have. I'm brewing this so my wife will drink some home brew, and she hates strong hop flavor. Here's what I have 2 ounces of Fuggles %4.5 and 2 ounces of...

Hi, I guess here's my first batch and let me lay out my problem. I bought from craigslist a couple carboys and some ingredients that someone had to unload due to financial crisis. I got a 33lb jug of dark malt syrup, 1 lb of crystal malt(type unnown)and some hops. My wife rebelled against...

Hi, I'm totally new to brewing, and I'm hoping to really learn here. I've always wanted to start brewing, but every time I was about to get set up, an emergency wiped out my funds. I'm finally ready, bought a second hand set up, which I need to really evaluate to see what else I need. I...
