I stopped brewing for a number of years, and always had great success using the Beer Recipator. Looking to make a couple of my old recipes. I found it on the HBD site, but I can't get it to work, and it seems it hasn't been working for a number of years. I've still got some of my recipes in...

Please sign me up as well!

I am in. I am so in!

My girls (8&10) have helped me in most of the operations - hop additions, hop harvest, grinding grain, bottling, racking, etc. The older one was going through catechism a few years ago. They were talking about making bread. The teacher was talking about milled grains, yeast, etc. My daughter...

I'm in! Dave

10g in 6 hours, Fly sparging, 60 min boil, immersion chill. 8 hours if I add another 5g batch - kind of in parallel using the same mash tun, but a different boil kettle. Water is measured out the night before, grains weighed and ground, salts weighed out. Dave

12 gallons Kölsch. 10074 +12 = 10086

I haven't done many delicate, light beers. Unfortunately, I was planning to use Munich, but I ran out and had to sub Vienna. Probably more traditional anyway, eh? Let me know what you think, and I'll let you know how it turns out. Dave Rusty Kölsch Vienna Brewer: Rusty Kettle...

Bump? Dave

So, what's happening with the vote on legalizing homebrew in Alabama? Dave

Thinking about it, the "Imperial American Porter" would probably be more of a Black American IPA, wouldn't it? Damn, I hate labels. Dave
