Wow - Had a great time. Did everything, Drank everything. "Smuggled" back a few friends @ 10 euro each!

I am working on a beer recipe with a similar profile as orval. I used the wyeast ardennes yeast as primary and wanted to build up enough of the orval/brett strain to pitch in secondary during dry hopping. I essentially made a small amount of wort with DME to approx 1.035 OG, enough to fill a...

Drove by a yard-sale and picked up this model thinking it would be perfect to fit my kegs. WRONG! There is not enough clearance due to the freezer pan, and from my research on the net there does not seem like there is anyway to remove it or anything to make this work out. Lost cause?

So my fridge crapped out today and I have a Belgian Strong Dark that I now need to naturally carb in bottle. My beer is in secondary and about 10%ABV so I know the yeast is nearly depleted. I have a few 250mL containers of washed yeast from the primary in the fridge, has anyone had experience...

Perhaps a slight quality issue with SA, but after getting a case of Infinium to split among friends we discovered one had a good amount of sediment still on the bottom (I thought this would all be removed via their champagne "like" process). I was able to, with some sterility transfer it between...

Being one of my current favorites I would like to attempt a clone for this american saison. Does anyone have any clue to how this particular saison achieves a tart, dry, flavorful dynamic? I know the yeast contribute almost all the flavor and dryness. I assume mostly continental pilsner, then...

My Sanyo died on me today and I have a pumkin (in primary) ale made Nov13 I want to keg. The fridge is dead so what is the alternative for me? Well I just put my better bottle filled with yummie ale into my garage which is about 45-46F right now (830pm boston december weather). That should...

Here is just another lesson in bat s**t crazy from my brew dungeon. Yesterday I received a 10lb order of Synsepalum dulcificum berries, also known as miracle berry or miracle fruit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsepalum_dulcificum I'm going to start experimenting with some small...

I helped a friend build a 5gallon stainless steel braided MLT from a cooler (FlyGuy inspired). He has brewed 3 AG batches which have turned out well. Now he wants me to help him out with a Rochefort 10 clone. This batch which I helped scale from 5Gal to 3Gal requires about 12.5Lbs of grain...
