After letting oak chips soak in bourbon, do you add both the oak and the bourbon it has been soaking in or just the oak? The bourbon has become a very dark brown and I wasn't sure if that should go in the fermenter or not.

Almost like an Irish coffee brew? Interesting. I know that Bells uses licorice in their porter... Any recommendations on how to incorporate this or anise with bourbon and coffee?

Just posting something else to get this thread back to the top where people can see it. Hopefully someone can help...

I'm wanting to brew a warm holiday beer for the upcoming season. I was thinking about getting Midwest's porter kit and adding some kind of combination of anise, vanilla, cocoa, oak, and bourbon (probably not all of these but at least a couple). From what I've read, this would be approaching the...

Mine has been in primary for almost two weeks now. I want to secondary for at least another week or two but, because this is only my 3rd batch of home brew, I don't have a carboy or better bottle yet. Can I just rack to a bottling bucket, clean the plastic primary bucket of the yeast cake, and...

Name of my brewery is is Rough Draught Brewing. Thoughts?

Yeah you're right. I am getting excited and ahead of myself on this one. I will brew as is for my first. Thanks for the reality check

Considering I am by even close to having enough bottles, I wouldn't mind at all. So you are saying just add less water when topping off the fermenter before I pitch to make a 4 gallon batch?

I have the Irish stout extract kit from Midwest and was already planning on spicing it up with some coffee/chicory but, if possible, want...

What about Rough Draught? Is that taking it too far?

The more I think about it, the more I like "charette"... For those of you that don't know the term, it is commonly used among designers referring to the gathering of people to create a solution to a problem, often resulting in multiple renditions or ideas. Some dictionary definitions also say it...

Today, I worked on a project with an "amenity area" in the design and it put "Amenity Ales" into my head. I am still playing with this idea some. Still looking for my lightbulb to turn on with a bright idea... Thanks for the help so far! I am still open to suggestions

Awesome ideas here! Thanks everybody. I like where dlslater is going with the "jargon". Keep 'em coming...

I need some help naming my brewery. I am just getting into brewing but I can't stand being nameless... A little about me... I am a college student majoring in Landscape Architecture (by the way we do a whole lot more than backyards) and possibly going for a masters in architecture. I love...
