I am going to make some liquid smoke from Briess Cherry smoked malt. I have to make 45 pounds of pulled pork and don't have the time to babysit my smoker for 12 hours. I am going to warm steep a pound of the grain in about 2 quarts of water and then make a BBQ sauce with the liquid and some...

Hey all, I'll be in Columbus, Ohio this weekend (10/12-10/13) I'll be staying on the northern end of town by 71 and 270. Any input on local places to check out would be appreciated. I know the wife and daughter will be shopping at Polaris and I can't force myself to join them. Also, if...

I'll be stopping in the city for a day and I'm looking for points of interest (AKA brewpubs). I found a few places. Good People Brewing, Avondale Brewing and Cahaba brewing. Has anyone tried any of them and what say you.:mug: Bull

This is Danstar's new west coast ale yeast. I used it on a Blonde test batch that I'm doing and it seemed to work well. Pitched dry, I had activity in under 24 hours. I fermented @ 61° and it had a nice Krausen. Seems to be complete @ day 4 and has compacted nicely. I'll be bottling...

And what are you brewing? I'm brewing a variation of the Lake Walk Pale Ale.:D My grains were toasted today and I'm kind of stoked about it. I'll be diluting my filtered tap water with distilled by 50% and building it up from there. Bull

Although summer vacation is still far away, I've already booked my trip. Our trip is typically at a beach somewhere. I enjoy hanging out under a big umbrella and drinking my share of beers. Problem is, finding something that I can bring to the beach (cans) and not dealing with disposal...

Directly off the box of Dial for men. "Your hair covered, meat powered mansuit will be clean, smooth and fresh all day" I bought it! Bull

I just brewed an Belgin Wit and have a healty yeast cake that I want to use. I am really just being too lazy to wash it and would rather spend the time brewing. :D I'm wondering what beers other than a Wit people have used this for. The obvious would be a Belgin anything, but I want to...

So far I have 1 5 gal batch in the fermentor. # 2 is on for today. Here's what I'm doing to deal with slower cooling times due to warmer chiller water. I start with a BIAB setup with closer to 1 qt/lbs. Adjusted water and proper ph. 90 min mash with mash out, squeeze, collect and move...

Well, after a week of a much needed vacation, it sure is nice to be home. I was able to sample many new beers and check out some really cool places. My favorite beer being the Black Radish from the Weeping Radish in Grandy, N.C.:rockin: That being said, it sure is nice to come home, sit...

Yesterday morning I prepared 8# of fresh strawberries with 1# of honey and added it to a wheat secondary. I came home to a lid blown off and strawberry goo overflowing down the sides of the ale pale. I cleaned most of it up and put the lid back on with out the grommet and air lock. Then...

For Big Brew Day, I'll be making a 10 gallon batch of the wit recipe listed on the AHA. They are encouraging the addition of local Herbs, Spices or flowers. I am thinking of adding some Lemon Basil or some Dandelion to the secondary. I also am considering some Mint or Wintergreen. If...

I'll be in the Charlston area for a few days the week before Easter. Any info on the area or places I shouldn't miss. Wife only wants to shop and hit the beach. I'm more interested in the historical area's and the brewing scene.:D Thanks Bull

I did my first blonde last night! :rockin: The session lasted just under 5 hours including cleaning up the sticky spills. So the question is when I service the blonde in 2 weeks, how hard should I hit it with cherries? I'm using Oregon sweet cherry puree and just want a hint of flavor...

So just to build some random stock, I picked up a can of Muntons premium Bitter. The recipe called for adding DME or sugar to build the fermentables. I decided to mash (BIAB style) 6 lbs of MO instead. I bumped my volume to 6 gal and added 1 lbs of corn sugar and came out with an OG of 1.058...

So, I'm thinking of experimenting with some single hop additions for evaluation. Any suggestions will be considered. I'll start with a simple pale ale base of about 10# MO and 1# C60. Then use a clean, control bittering hop like Warrior to get my base wort to about 35 IBU's. After 40 min...
