False alarm! It is the fridge that is making noise.... The beer is OK!!!

I just legged my homebrew for the first time.... The psi is set at 10. Today the keg is making a rumbling noise. It seems regular and rhythmic. Is that normal?

I am trying to find some information on my favorite beer from my favorite small brewery in Portland, OR. I moved away from Portland about 5 years ago and I miss this beer tremendously. Has anyone ever tried to clone it or have any idea on what goes into it? Any help would be appreciated...

Amnesia Brewing. It is just across the border from Portland in Washington. Lived there for 2 years and they used to have a location in Portland before expanding their operation. Desolation IPA is the one beer I would have everyday for the rest of my life, given the opportunity.

That is what i have been using... Should i be using something else?

I have seen a few all grain clones of this beer... Does someone have any idea of where to start for an extract clone? I want to brew it for my family who love the beer and can't get it where they live in Indiana....

I am sure there is a thread about this already but i haven't found it... I am looking to bottle a 5 gallon batch of a sweet stout--coffee and chocolate notes. Does anyone have any recommendations for the bottling sugar to add? I have only ever used corn sugar (4-5 oz). Should I use this...

I am new to the area (& fairly new to brewing as well) and i am looking for information on Minneapolis, MN tap water. Here is a link to the 2011 water report. http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/water/docs/2011_Water_Quality_Report.pdf Is there anything I should do to improve my beer?

No, i was planning on doing a liquid yeast. Not sure i want to chance a yeast starter yet.

I just moved away from Portland, OR-So I got into home brewing. I am in the process of trying to recreate some of my favorite beers. Unfortunately, my all time favorite beer is beyond my limited grasp-Amnesia Brewing's Desolation IPA. I haven't been able to find a website that has information...

Thanks for all the input! Definitely going to add some more late hops. Yes the Widmer Drifter was my inspiration. I love citrusy ales! I prefer IPAs (if you are in Portland, try Amnesia's Desolation IPA-Fantastic), but i wanted something that i could introduce to new craft beer drinkers...
