    BB Hopnog 2011

    Excited to see this is getting such good reviews. My aunt and parents have always struggled with what to buy me for the holidays... and while I brew mostly all-grain; they love to get me extract kits for pretty much every holiday/event that involves giving gifts. I'll gladly brew pretty...

    Brewery names--what's your story?

    I work in IT (I've done Network Administration, web development, etc etc. yada yada) - at one of my old jobs the IT Manager loved beer (as do I) and his dad was a former beer judge and homebrewer for competitions in the area. We always joked about opening a brewery, thus the name "Byte...

    Bottle sediment

    Sometimes the taste can be a little much when brewers have a lot of stuff in their bottles - I typically leave a tiny amount of the beer in the bottom of the bottle and don't sweat it. But I've also started doing something similar to TopherM above, I strain it pretty much every chance I get...

    Critique: My first attempt!

    Thanks for the feedback! You're right about the 'fall beer' not being very 'fall', and I would agree - an amber would be more in line with that feeling of fall. I was thinking more of those cool afternoons I spent fishing/camping as a kid in the early fall... for some reason I imagined a...

    Critique: My first attempt!

    I figured I should update this with how it turned out (if anyone was curious). It's not 'bad', but it's not 'great' either. It didn't quite get the taste I was hoping for. The smoked malts weren't quite as prevalent as I would have liked (they show up as an afterthought and kind of linger...

    Critique: My first attempt!

    Thanks for the reply Daniel. Before I read your reply I was reading a bit more about the honey malt and was wondering if 1lb was 'too much', good to know I was on the right track. I appreciate the feedback :-D I do like the flavor of Centennial which is why I thought that would be a good late...

    Critique: My first attempt!

    Well, I like to brew - but have never even made a real attempt at 'making' a recipe. I much prefer to find recipes of beers I enjoy and create them myself. That said I don't have a strong knowledge of what goes with what, and what makes up a 'good recipe'. I wanted something that had a touch...

    Black IPA / Cascadian Dark Ale - Extract Brew?

    Hey guys (first post), I've read, and searched. While I've seen a few recipes here and there for a Black IPA / Cascadian Dark Ale - most of what I've found has just been bickering about the name difference. Can anyone point me in the right direction (or post up some) for recipes that...
