Yah, the seasonal festabrew kit. Friggin awesome!!! Try the new ESB. Designed by the NG owners.

Give this book a try. A buddy of mine has it. Some really great info Brew Like A Monk

Makes sense to me. Come to think of it, I just did a black IPA, full of simcoe and cascade, and I used carafa for the color. Worked quite well. As for the rye, I've been using 30% for all my pale ales, with 30-50 IBU, and it's been good for me. Like you said, personal taste. Cheers

Hey Guys, Was thinking about a rye pa and fiddled around with a new recipie. Normally when I do one it's a simple 2 row/crystal/rye combo, but I wanted to try something different. So I ditched the crystal, and added a small ammt of munich and chocolate for color. Also, the LHBS just got some...

Get some sodium metabisulphite (wine making sanitizer) from the LHBS, mix up the recomended dosage in a sprayer bottle, and lightly coat the top of the bucket. I've been doing this for years and it works fantastically. No bugs in my beer.

I highly recommend trying this. If your into the old ale style at all. One of my favorite britis beer styles. Luckily one of the local micrbrews makes it. http://www.theakstons.co.uk/ales/classics/oldpeculier.html

I stumbled upon this article a while ago looking for the same answers as you. I've been using it for high and low gravity brews that I have filtered and still wanted to bottle. Use the chart at the bottom and you won't go wrong. Hope this helps you. Cheers...

Rye pale ale. so friggin refreshing in the summer.

+1 to the rice hulls. I use them every time I do a wheat beer. Never had a stuck sparge or an efficiency problem

Good call. I might just leave this one, and do a big starter from my buddy's pack, and try to culture some and store it in the freezer for a later time.

Yah, I've never tried washing. Definitely something i'm going to try sooner rather than later. But the old ale will be a while. It's in the keg right now, and I'm trying to save it until at least the fall. Do you think the yeast will still be good by then?

Hey guys, Got kind of excited this weekend when I did a sample tasting of the old ale I did up with the 9097 yeast. I did a primary for about 3 weeks, then transfered to a keg and added about 3/4cup of molasses to condition. After 3months of keg conditioning, the brett culture is really...

And a shameless plug for my band. At a show at the Whiteny House in Hartford CT, last Aug. on our tour. <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uljxKOvJS3k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Getting ready to dough in my Devil wears Nadda Golden Strong Ale. 13kg of grain to mash. should make for some fun.:rockin:

My mom recently took a trip to South Carolina, and I asked her to pick me up a couple of decent micro brews from the area. Being that she has no knowledge of beer at all, I was kind of excited to see what she would get. To my surprise she came back with the Terrapin 12 pack sampler with the Rye...

I drink alot of propellor ESB, and I was kinda trying to get something close to it. Here's a recipie I brewed up, and a few friends found the malt profile was pretty close. Although the Hops are different, you could substitute as nessessary if you wish. Cheers Recipe Specifications...

For the last couple of American IPA's I've done, I flavored with cascade and amarillo, but for a twist, I dry hop with a bunch of SAAZ and Chinook. Neat profile that most don't quite expect. I love the spice of SAAZ Cheers

Hey Guys, First post here. I want to start experimenting with using a new yeast to bottle contition by beer. The reason being is, I would like to filter it to get it perfectly clear. I'm going to try it on a Czech Pils that's been lagering for a few months. I took a sample and it's ready to...
