I was looking for a good recipe for a good sour beer. I have had limited exposure to sour beers but I loved rodenbach. I could not find a rodenbach clone. Anyone have something close to this?

I know this is more of a rant then anything else, but damn it feels good to be back. I had some health issues for the past 5 months and they are on going BUT I managed to bottle a batch of Black Pearl Porter that I brewed back in oct. I also brewed an English Mild also. As I said, damn it...

So I made a batch in a bucket back in September. I fell ill and am just now feeling better. The question is, I checked the beer and it is not visually infected and while I was sick, I kept the air lock filled with Vodka. Do you think it would be worth bottling or should I just chuck it...

So its been about 4 months since I brewed a batch. :mad: It is time to break that dry spell. I have in my hands ingredients for two all grain batches. Reaper's Mild and Black Pearl Porter. I got everything I needed from my awesome local home brew store, microbe brewers supply . I sent...

So I was working on this recipe and I am going to try a small batch of it, but below is the 5 gallon version. Let me know what you think. It is an Imperial Double Chocolate Cherry Oatmeal Stout. 14lb 2row US 1.75 lb Flaked oats 1.30 lb Black Patent Malt 1 lb Chocolate malt 1 lb Roasted...

Excited about this guys. I just made my own mash tun and got a new brew pot for my first all grain brew! What do you think about?

So I have purchased a 5 gallon cooler to make a mash tun out of. The only issue is, it has a removable spout unlike most. The opening after I remove the whole spigot is MUCH larger then most. Check out the pics and tell me if you think this is going to work.

Here is another question. I got a 5 gallon round coleman cooler for a mash tun. Is this to small? From what i have read, for 10 pounds of grains, you need 2.5 gallons of water but I do not know the displacement value of the grain. Did I waste money on this cooler?

SO I found this aluminum 32 Quart pot and I was wondering if it would work. If not, anyone have any suggestions for a cheap one? THIS IS THE POT

So I tossed out 20 bucks and got a 5 gallon picnic cooler for use as a mash tun. I am doing AHS Bavarian Hefeweizen w/ Danstar Munich German Wheat Dry Yeast. I just ordered it and hopefully it will be here for next weekend. Any suggestions or words of wisdom? I am super stoked and ready to...

I just started my first EdWort's Apfelwein this weekend. Its fermenting away with an airlock bubble about every 5 seconds. I have it in my basement and it seems to be sitting around 60-62F, atleast thats what my carboy thermometer says. What issues could I run into with it being this cold?

So, I just picked up both of these programs to try out and I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a site that anyone uses to get recipes for these programs. Thanks ahead of time.

Do you strain your wort before transferring it to your primary? I do not.

Check it out guys. This is my first high gravity beer and my first trappist ale. Check out the crazy fermentation I got goin on!

So AHS Our Special Holiday Ale was the first beer I have done. Its been bottled for just about 3 weeks. I was wondering if anyone else has done this kit. The reason why is that mine has a weird after taste. It is hard to explain but it kind of tart or slightly sour, which I am HOPING is the...

So I am brewing my second batch, a Brown Ale, and the Krausen on the brew has already fallen (4 days). I took a quick peek, which I know I am not suppose to do, and its pretty much all gone and it was only about 1 inch thick. The only reason I ask is because my first back, a spiced ale, had...

At this point, I have to keep my fermenters upstairs in my home because the basement is pretty chilly. The only problem is, I use a wood stove to heat and I keep the thermostat set to 62 during the day. I keep my fermenters in my kitchen, which I dont use the oven a ton and the kitchen...

I just landed 3 cases of German Flip Top bottles on Craiglist for 35 bucks. :rockin: Now I have to go get them next week! He is finishing up the third case :ban:

There is it. My delicious Spice Winter Ale. Last week I tasted it, and it was HORRIBLY gingery. After another week, it has mellowed ALOT. Bring on more!
