    Finnegans amber???

    Who did you e-mail with? I promise you they are because it came right off of a training item they give to servers to be able to talk intelligently about the beer. I'm just outside of Downtown to the West. We should do a brew exchange.

    Finnegans amber???

    No problem. I like it a lot too. A better Fat Tire in my opinion.

    Finnegans amber???

    There's actually no potato in Finnegans any longer. It started off with a nominal amount for fun, but it didn't add anything worthwhile, so the brewers decided to take it out. It's 2 Row, Cara 20 and Special B for the Malt Bill. The hops are Fuggles and Northern Brewer. Shoot for 20...

    I do this as well. It just makes sense to me.

    Bars and Bottle Shops in Chicago

    As far as Bars go, not knowing you at all, I recommend Clark St. Ale House and Map Room as beer bars. I tend to end up at Cobra Lounge for the rock and roll atmosphere.

    Irish Car Bomb Stout

    Ha. I probably deserve that. If it helps, I was feeling terrible and conflicted the whole time. I'm going to try again, but add the Jameson at bottling time and see if that helps. I'm not worried about upping the ABV. The beer tastes good but needs that burn to really mimic the shot.

    Irish Car Bomb Stout

    So I've brewed an extract batch of my version of this beer. I made a generic base irish stout. When it came time to bottle, I took a bottle Jameson and (thinking of the greater good) boiled it for 25 minutes, which reduced it significantly. I then used a Bailey's syrup vial from the ideas above...

    Irish Car Bomb Stout

    I'm fascinated by this thread. If we were looking to increase the whiskey taste without increasing the ABV, couldn't we take more Jameson, boil off some of the alcohol and pitch more whiskey in the fermenter to get a stronger Jameson flavor? I don't know how to handle the need to make it...

    I feel like I've joined the brotherhood....

    It took me 12 batches, but I've finally had my first UABE (Urgent Attention Brewing Event) as my IIPA suddenly became a very active fermenter about 15 hours in. I had a foam-filled airlock, a beer covered lid and a fermenter top that looked ready to burst. Thank you to the forum for coming...

    British Brown Ale Fat Squirrel clone

    Can anyone far more talented (and probably more handsome) than I convert this to Extract and Steeping? I'm looking to fill a few fermenters in the upcoming weeks to have a supply of summer beers. Thank you in advance.
