I don't know if anyone else will have had this, as I don't think they made a whole lot of it. I just had 1 pint, and it was very good, much better than most of their beers, I thought. Here is all the info I could find on it. Fairly complete, but without amounts/proportions, of course...

My brother got me a mixed 4 pack of Boulevard with a nice glass for the holidays. I was super excited, as I've been hearing great things about Boulevard, but there's not a lot of it around here. I'm sampling the Double Wide IPA and the Tank 7 saison. I've been mostly drinking American ales...

I'm sure this has been answered, but I'm having trouble finding it. I washed some Wyeast 1056, and I now have 3 1 liter jars of it. I'm going to make EdWort's Rye IPA this weekend, and I'd like to use the washed yeast. However, I have no idea how much to use, and if I should be making a starter...

She actually said it was a tie with this and Oskar Blues G'Knight, but I'll consider it a win. She's not a heavy drinker, but she samples a lot of different beers. This was my first AG beer, and it's actually pretty similar to G'Knight, but not a clone. It's also somewhat similar to Double...

I just built a stir plate, and I'm doing my first starter with it. It's a 2l starter in a 2l jar, so there's not a lot of headspace. However, I thought I'd be ok, since I've been reading that using a stir plate doesn't give big krausens. I started it last night, and I woke up to a bunch of...

I just did my first batch of all grain, and it went well enough that I see myself doing a lot of it. Now I feel like I'm lacking some equipment, but I'm on a budget, so I have to prioritize what I need. What I have: 7.5 gal SS pot Electric stove (in my kitchen) 10 gal cooler with SS braid...

I brewed up my first all grain batch on sunday, and the krausen fell today, so I took a sample out under the guise of checking the gravity. The sample tastes so damn good, I can hardly believe it. It's an India Red, and it's already amazing. The extract and partial mash brews I've made have...

It's time to bottle the Russian Imperial Stout I brewed up in June. It was 1.088 OG, and I didn't pitch nearly enough yeast. Gravity only got down to 1.034. I assume there is next to no yeast left in there for carbonation. What's the best procedure for bottling? As a side note, I'm tasting...

I am limited in the space where I can ferment. Which is to say I was granted the bottom of a small linen closet. It stays a nice, consistent 66 or so, which is mostly fine, except for the first few days of fermentation. I know the standard cooling practice is to put the fermenter in a big...

I did my first AG last night, and for the most part, it went great. I hit my target gravity, and everything smells wonderful. The only issue I had was lots of 'stuff' in the wort. This was also my first time using whole hops (as opposed to pellets). I used a strainer to get the hops out, but...
