dont get me wrong I would by far rather have a good quality craft beer than any BMC type, however I am guilty of indulging in a PBR from time to time, but also I am finding I by far appreciate my homebrew to comparable commercial craft beer styles even some that I used to not be able to get by...

ok nice thanks guys

Im trying to decide if I want to brew a Belgian Strong Dark Ale, however I dont think I have ever had one and dont want to devote the time shorterm and longterm in brewing something like this if I find that I do not really enjoy the style. Does anyone know of a nice Belgian Strong Dark Ale that...

It was my understanding that the inversion process in m/aking the sugar into candi made it easier for the yeast to consume without all the extra effort which is why I invertrd it before hand, also I plan on adding it dissolved in some water after high krausen so the acidity of the wort won't be...

sorry for the thread revival but yuri this sounds promising!!!! any final thoughts on this process as im thinking about sealing the bottles on my imperial stout im getting ready to bottle next week.

How about rereading my original post of this thread, not once did I discuss the accuracy of using rock candi vs candi syrup in making an authentic belgian ale as a matter of fact I never even discussed what id be brewing, for all you know I could be brewing a willy wonka style ale that calls for...

gotta say i pick up a twelve pack or 30 rack of keystone at least every six months, or whenever my BMC friends are coming over, and have to admit I drink any and all leftovers especially in the summer and thoroughly enjoy every one of them even though I love my craft beer more, just takes me...

I started with homebrewing for dummies by marty nachel and it really taught me to get my sea legs, I must have read it cover to cover four or five times. before I boiled my first gallon of wort, I have since graduated to some other books, breewing classic styles the complete joy and others but I...

Some type of sam adams clone would be fitting seeing that the pats will be hoisting the trophy that evening...

Standard address label with small font name of brew, brew date, bottle date, abv and kcal as determined by beersmith or beertools what ever I used, very easy simple and the little guy likes to help daddy put stickies on his big boy drinks, some of them are crooked but makes yah smile big time...

Beer shouldn't be stored on its side as storing it on its side exposes a greater surface area should there be any oxygen in the bottle, doubt if this iis a concern with a commercial brew as I'm sure the bottle was purged with co2 prior to filling but homebrew I know shouldn't be stored on its...
