Anyone out there have a recipe for Lagunitas Wet Dog Pale Ale? Preferably in Extract form? Much thanks in advance.

Every year I tell myself I am going to do a Christmas Ale and ever year I end up forgetting or remembering when it's too late. I want to do the one Midwest Supplies offers as it has some solid reviews, but if I do one this weekend will it be ready in time for Christmas or have I waited too...

What is a good Christmas Extract Kit I could make this weekend or next that would be ready in time for the Holidays and also very drinkable? I want something that says "Yeah, this is Christmas!" when they drink it, but not be so out there that it puts people off. Any suggestions?

Nice! That thing looks bad ass. Love to win me one!

Just wanted to give a quick update on things. I finally defeated my old nemesis that is the Red Stripe bottle and got the label off with Aircraft Remover. The stuff is made by Rust Oleum and costs around $8.00 a can and can be bought at any auto parts store. Spray it on and let it sit at least...

Yeah I just saw that beer yesterday actually when I went to my local Homebrew store. I will go that route and just get a sixer at a time and go from there until I have all I need.

I never tried lacquer thinner because I figured that Muriatic Acid would be a lot stronger. As for the bucket I used, it was an old stainless steel stockpot. If using a plastic bucket will give me the results I want I am willing to give it a shot.

I concede, give up, throw in the towel. Kudos to Red Stripe for whatever methods they use for Silk Screening their labels because everything I tried failed. I just let a sixer soak in straight Muriatic Acid for two hours and it didn't do a damn thing besides give me a headache from the smell...

I just picked up another gallon of Muriatic Acid from the Hardware store and am gonna use that straight up, no diluting, and see how that goes. If it works, awesome, if not I am only out another $5 and will submit to defeat.

Care to be a bit more specific? I just went on their site and none of the beers they have listed look like they come in Stubby Bottles.

I have read almost every topic on pretty much ever Homebrew site and need some advice. I really want to bottle my next batch in some old school Stubby Bottles and from what I have found you cannot buy them anywhere that are label free and ready to go. The only option I have is to use Red Stripe...

Nope, not confusing at all. Thanks for the thorough update. The one I made this past weekend is the Weizenbier kit from Brewer's Best so I will let you know how it turns out. I think I may rack it to a Secondary before adding in the POM just cause a little more trub got in then I wanted and...

@dandw - I am confused by that statement. Maybe it is just too early and I am reading it weird. Are you saying if I add the POM to the Primary after a week or so the flavor will come through, but because the yeast will eat up the extra sugar it will taste like crap? If this is true would it then...

Right on. Thanks for the quick reply. I brewed it this weekend (my OG was a bit off though so I hope it turns out okay) and will add in the POM in about a week or so once fermentation slows.

I am looking to make a Pomegranate Whit tomorrow and am happy I stumbled upon this post. I was unsure if using POM juice would be the route to go and if so when to add it. I think I will follow the suggestion to use the Blueberry/Pomegranate POM juice instead of straight Pomegranate. The OP...
