+1 on your list, I would probably do the same. Willamette is good for a finishing hop for American style ales and with a low AA% you could brew some more mild American styles using it as a bittering hop. I like a Apollo a lot because I LOVE centennial/amarillo.

I used to work at a homebrew supply shop/merchandise store and one of the first things people would see when they walked into our store was out immersion wort chillers. The following conversation occurred more times than I would care to count: Individual #1: You guys see this here? Its a...

Wow. Just wow.

I'm only about halfway through reading this thread but some of the things I have seen are simply beyond belief haha. Last weekend I handed a pint of munich dunkel I had made to my girlfriends friend and her boyfriend to have a taste. The girlfriend tasted it and said she really liked it then...

The Blichmann burner is awesome. A great choice

+1 Haha. A great episode. Ill take a warmpuss(sp?)!

I was at a local brewery last having a pint of Tart Lychee by New Belgium, very tasty :rockin:. A guy sitting next to me at the bar began talking with me about some of the beers they had on tap, specifically the one I had in my hand. After trying a sample he turned to his friends and told them...

God that looks fantastic. I MUST try this.

I'm brewing my first 10 gallon batch on my 'awesome' three tier setup (watch out blichmann). My buddies are all still in bed and I'm about to start the boil. Early bird gets the worm! :tank:

First time wine maker here, just ordered all my finings from NB. Cant wait to make this batch of wine. Sounds fantastic!

Lychee from the Lips of Faith series by New Belgium. Fantastic! :tank:

Sounds like diacetyal

Switch to a refractometer my friend! The best investment I've ever made, the hyrometer stays hidden away until I need to take a FG reading :)

I did a VERY similar thing once. Like the idiot that I am I attached a serving line disconnect to my pin lock (no serving line, just the disconnect) and my freshly kegged beer started spraying all over my kitchen. I just stared at it for a very seconds trying desperately to figure out what was...

The color will be different yes, but the flavors are also very different. Think of it this way, the barley has been malted for longer periods of time to increase the lovibond rating. On the lighter end of the scale (20L) you will get a much sweeter, candy like flavor from your malt; when you...

I moved from Michigan to Montana a few months ago and put my CO2 tank in my truck with me. I stopped over night, but not for any significant period of time during the day when it was warmer. If you wern't going backpacking I'd say go for it, the car would be running with either the windows...

I left it in the primary just shy of 4 weeks I believe and then bottled it. I drank most of it within the first month of it carbonating (it was my first beer :o haha). I did have a six pack or two stashed away and it was fantastic after 2-3 months of bottle conditioning!

If you have a set up to brew roughly 7 gallons of beer I'd recommend trying that. Follow the same instructions just make 7 gallons of wort instead of 5. Ive made this kit before and it was pretty tasty in the 5 gallon wort.

Roger that. Ive done a few 90 minute boils before and there is a great amount of wort lost due to evaporation. Did you take that into account? I actually preferred the 90 minute boil sometimes; I added a low AA% hop for a bittering addition to an RIS I brewed up, it was the perfect amount of...
