Russian Imperial Stout - Extract Recipe Kit

Sounds great!

I may be wrong, but I think the limit for a "microbrewery" is 15k bbl. Between that and 6 million bbl is considered a "regional craft brewery". The upper limit was 2 million, but Boston Brewing Company (Samuel Adams) wanted to expand production and stay within the realms of a "craft brewery"...

It really pisses me off when breweries don't label bottles stating the bottling date or batch number. Over the last year, I've been moving away from buying beer that doesn't keep the consumer's enjoyment in mind. Unless I know it came in recently (which doesn't mean it wasn't sitting somewhere...

A few weeks ago I bottled ~ 2.5 gallons of a Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. I don't have the notes in front of me, but I added various amounts of oats to about half of the batch, just like I had done the first time this was ever discussed. Oldeschool actually tasted my beer before I did, and thus far...

If that didn't paint the right picture, what will? I look forward to hearing about more experimenters in this realm. Keep em' coming in!

No clue what you are talking about in relation to the CD/marker thing...please explain. Good point about experimenting more...I think you are catching on to the whole reason oldschool and I tried this in the first place. Beer science! Try new things; reference Einstein's famous quote about...

I'm assuming you did the math and 5 oats/bottle equates to 4oz/~2 gal? I really hope it works out for you. I'm really interested to see what happens with the larger sample, as well as the larger vessel. Changing some variables, but c'est la vie. Is the half keg a porter or a stout?

In ref. to olllllo: I agree; this wasn't the case, but I agree with what you are saying. I'll boat ~1-2 gallons of my Chocolate Oatmeal Stout. I'll set up multiple double blinds covering all the bases and report back...this might be awhile though. Don't hold your breath, but do try this for...

Boating is better than BO...

Can you reword your statement? I'm not sure I'm following, unless you weren't following how we did it. We used two different bottles of the porter, one with the oats, one w/out the oats. Is that what you meant? I know the "study" wasn't the most scientific one in the world, but it was a true...

Agreed...for reals, lol.

Many things to ponder: time warps, time machines, HBT being the center of the world(s), space time continuum, whether being drunk at 4:39 pm is a necessity or not, changing settings *Quaff*...like that is the problem...Does anyone have an easy button?

I've been wondering what the hell the deal is with the time stamp for awhile now, and I've finally decided to find out the same way when I want to know anything when I'm drunk and lazy....ASK! Why are my posts like 5 hours ahead of EDST? Maybe I'm the jerk and I did something wrong. If so...

I had a chat earlier today with BevMo. They assisted me, along with Jess at AleSmith, in finding some AleSmith near San Luis Obispo, CA. It seems that there is a wine shop in Templeton that packs one of the beverages of my dreams. Now, hopefully I can talk my brother into going up there before...

Holy hell! That my friend, was you doing the right thing and it paying off. Can't feel bad about trying to tell them that they aren't part of the mix/match. Man...I think I would have been maxing cards that day. I wish something like that would happen to me.

It probably comes down to profit margin then...

Yeah, I'd be afraid of what might happen if all my favorite beers, along with a bunch of rare ones, ended up in the same place...running out of cash, maxing out cards, bouncing checks....bankruptcy!

Some of you guys talking about hundreds of dollars worth of adjunct-laden macro swill gives me cold chills.
