    BrewChatter Brew Zilla/Robo Brew Giveaway

    I wouldn't complain for sure.

    My new License Plates

    Kind of necroing this thread, but I wanted to share mine. RDWHAHB was taken in Ohio, so this was the next best for me.

    Ginger Snap Brown Ale.

    Couldn't hurt. I think it really depends on what ginger snaps you use. I've thought about doing this again a few times. Maybe my next batch, we'll see...

    Extract Black Rye IPA/Cascadian Dark Rye Ale Critique

    Makes sense. I appreciate the input.

    Extract Black Rye IPA/Cascadian Dark Rye Ale Critique

    This is the Malliard Malts LME from Northern Brewer. Contents are: 70% 2-row, 20% malted rye, and 10% caramel 40. Everything I am seeing is saying the sweet spot for Rye is around 20%, so eliminating the caramel makes sense. How does this look for hop schedule? 1.00 oz Warrior [15.00 %] - Boil...

    Extract Black Rye IPA/Cascadian Dark Rye Ale Critique

    After a long 2 year hiatus (except for a cider around Halloween) I am starting to get back into brewing. Due to being in an apartment, I am still on Extract, and I am looking into kicking it off with a Cascadian Dark Rye Ale/Black Rye IPA. I've seen a few AG recipes on HBT, but nothing yet for...

    Ginger Snap Brown Ale.

    After 3 months in the bottle, I have to say I'm impressed. The excess orange flavor is gone, and I can definitely taste the bite of ginger snaps. The only problem is I overcarbed it, and get a gusher every time I open a bottle. I'm pretty sure this was due to my 5 gallon batch finishing up at...

    How many gallons of EdWort's Apfelwein have been made?

    Just started 5 gallons! 26,080

    Man, I love Apfelwein

    I just made my first batch. I used EC-1118 instead of Montrachet, Indian Summer Apple Juice, and 2lb Dextrose. O.G. is 1.066, so pretty much on target. I'll probably backsweeten half of it for SWMBO, can't wait to try it!

    Wow, I'm definitely in for this

    Ginger Snap Brown Ale.

    Ok, well I just cracked the first one open. I like it, not what I expected, but it's pretty smooth. I think I overdid the orange peel, because that's the most noticeable flavor. If I do this again, I'll keep it at maybe 1.5 oz total of sweet orange peel, and increase the ginger or find some that...

    Ginger Snap Brown Ale.

    So, I just tasted it, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. Very much like "cookie juice", though it could use more ginger. I'll be bottling later today, and I'll add 1oz of sweet orange peel, and 2oz of grated ginger to my priming sugar boil. OG was 1.050, FG was 1.010, bringing me to...

    Ginger Snap Brown Ale.

    I just brewed this as my Christmas beer. I'm still doing mostly extract/kits. I used Northern Brewer's Nut Brown Ale kit, 2 1/2 bags of Meyers' Ginger Snaps. I added 1/2lb of lactose. Boiled 2oz of sweet orange peel, 4 cinnamon sticks, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp allspice, 1 oz of grated ginger for 30...
