Hi all- I started homebrewing about 2 years ago, and I fell in love. Then I moved to Italy and haven't home brewed since. Anyway, I am anxious to get back into homebrewing again, so if anyone is located in Italy, please let me know. Also, I will be back home in beautiful South Lake Tahoe...

yes'sir, the closer to christmas, the better this gets!

good to know. I'm still very green to brewing, so I think I will use the secondary on my first couple batches, then switch to no secondary. Then start doing 1/2 batch no secondary, 1/2 batch with secondary to see what I really prefer. Thanks for the advice!

interesting Surthrncomffrt. What is your aging schedule with the belgian dubbel, I ask because I have a belgian dubbel going that has been primary for 2 weeks. Was going to switch to secondary for 3 then bottle for 2 months. What do you think about that?

I did a 40 minute mash. Don't know how it turned out yet... My first two batches have been PMs and I found it really quite simple for a noob. Most of the instructions I found reccommended a 40 minute mash. Good luck. Also, since you are looking for styles... My first was a IPA and my second was...

I'll be there for sure. Plan on doing an MBA in Italy next year (fingers crossed) and the timing will work out like magic! cheers brew'migos see you there

BOMB.COM Yes the phrase is soooo 2000 but it is the highest complement I can give. Just cracked open the 2009 Celebration Ale and I cannot believe how good it is. I am just beginning my foray into beer tasting (for taste over mass consumptions and blackouts) but wow, the hops taste just...

great link. Thanks for the help, I will read up on it!

Good damn question... I would say favorite brew house is Lake Tahoe Brew Co. in Lake Tahoe. Favorite beers right now: Delerium Tremmers (SP??), Guinness, Fat Tire, Sierra Nevada, Kona's brew co ale... forget the name

I am a complete noob, but have done a little research about OGs. I believe if they are within the range for the beer, you are good to go. I think there are multiple factors effecting the OG reading and normally you can give/take a few pts. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks for the help. A couple follow up questions; 1) If I used larger (22oz) bottles, would I use more dextrose? 2) So because they take longer to carbonate, I just have to bottle age longer? 3) What do you mean by going three volumes before exploding. I am unfamiliar with the term "3...

Hey Brew'migos... Just brewed my first belgian double, so I am really pumped. Its fermenting like crazy due to all the sugar belgians use. So, I plan to leave it in the primary for 2 weeks, then rack to a secondary for about 2 - 3 weeks. When I bottle, I plan on using about a cup of...

Hahaha, last night I was up till 2am brewing a belgian doppel. towards the end there I might have rushed things a little as I was more than a little drunk and needed my sleep. well, we'll see how she turns out in a couple months

is there anything we can do to eliminate the sediments? How do pros do it?

What styles of beer do you reccommend dry hopping for? Just Ales?

No no no no, I actually didn't even realize this was an all-grain brew! I just did a search and saw this beer... Well, if that's the case, then I will postpone this brew for a while! I am still a noob and only doing partial mashes. Well, thanks for the help, I guess I need to be a little more...

Very thoughtful response. Thank you. It really helped clear up some issues that I have. I think my main problem right now is that I want to know it all without going through the pain of doing it all. Don't get me wrong, I want to do it all too, but I would like to bee 100% confident when doing...

Congrats Calibuddha - Can't wait to try my won. Making an IPA (first batch ever!) thinking of calling it Beer'd IPA. On deck either a Belgian ale or a Dos XX clone that I will call Brew'Migos!

Thanks for the recipe. I am a huge fan of leffe. As this is my first attempt at reading a recipe that I will actually make (read noob with only 1 batch under his belt), do you mind helping clarifying what I see in this recipe. See below for my interpretation; - Looks like do a partial mash on...
