Hello friends-- Myself and a few buddies are road tripping from the DC area to Atlanta in December. We have no legit plans/route yet. Any recommendations on breweries along the way? Or beer related activities that should hit that can potentially be on the way? I have no shame in driving a...

Hey All, I am having difficulty finding a clone recipe for Flying Dog St Eadman. Its an absolutly delicious Dark Belgian brewhouse rarity. Here is what the site has: Grain: Malteries Franco-Belges Pale Ale Malteries Cara-Viena Castle Special B Hops: Northern Brewer Hallertau...

My long sought kegging endeavor ends in a failure, again! Round one was a far too large full size fridge for my far too small apartment, sold it shortly after (a few weeks ago). Round two was my buddy giving me an old mini fridge (not a highly rated model on HBtalk--for good reason), and...

Hi All, I am picking up a mini fridge later from a buddy (assuming it fits my purposes) later today. I intend on adding dual tap tower on top. I know it has a freezer compartment on top, I was thinking that instead of doing the whole bending back thing, can I drill a hole right through it...

Hey All, I came up with a funky recipe for Spring/summer, kind of a spinoff on a recipe I saw on another thread. Thoughts and critiques are encouraged! Cheers, Saul 5.00 lb Belg Pils Malt (2 Row) 3.50 lb Belg Wheat Malt (2.0 SRM) .5 lb...

Hey All, Perfect place to vent...maybe even get some support. My buddy and I split the cost of a converted kegerator from CL. It was kind of a rash buy, we have been talking about making the upgrade for some time and when we saw the post we just went with it. Probably paid a little too...

Hey All, About to make the big move to kegging. I found a kegerator (convereted stacked fridge freezer) along with a Pony keg, co2 tank, regulator, tubing, tap on CL. A few questions: 1. I would like to add two more taps, do you think would I be able to fit 2 more cronies in there with...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0MC0KX8242 Good scale? I can getit for $15. Can't tell how many sig figs I can get on it. Want it to at least show one decimal place. I imagine I will not use it for more than 2 ounces at a time, but as low as .25 oz. (mainly for hops)...

Hi All, Something that bothers me about Cider is the lack of head retention. I love it, just no head. I was thinking to brew a gallon or half a gallon of just flaked wheat and tossing into a 5 gallon batch. Thoughts? Maybe add a little apple extract before botteling to keep the flavor...

Hi All, Building a recipe, pretty new to designing, so please critique! (No worries, I have thick skin....) Honey IPA (all-grain): 6 # 2-row 2.75 # Honey malt 1 # wheat malt (too little for character to come out?) 1 # Munich 10 L (too much?) .5 oz CTZ @ 60min .5 oz Citra @ 60min...

Hey All, I want a dog. A big dog at that. My issue is that I can be out of the apt for up 12 hours in a day (maybe once a week), and not sure if I can keep it cooped up like that. I am very willing to be active with it before I leave in the morning and when I get home...just worried...

Hey All, Just moved into an apt in DC. I have been brewing by my buddy in a suburb but want to move it here. Where do people brew all-grain in an apt? Ally?

Hey All- I went on a bourbon distillery tour at Buffalo Trace in KY and left with a 53 gallon cask. Kind of an impulse buy but I'm still jacked about it. I'm working on some sort of bourbon porter recipe for it (suggestions are welcome!). My main concern now is prepping it. I spoke to...

Hey All, Last night we brewed a pumpkin ale here was the recipe: 11 # Vienna 1.25# Victory .5# Crystal 80 6 cans of pumpkin roasted at 350* for an hour and added to boil We aimed for a 5.5 gallon batch, it was more around 5 at the end (first time we brewed with a turkey fryer...more...

Hey All, Not really sure where to put this...but here goes. After a brew day a week and a half ago or so, my buddy and I drunkly decided to make a Hard Cranberry Lemonade Cider. We had 2 gallons of Cranberry Juice sitting around, and some country time lemonade powder. We made a six gallon...

Hey All, I want to make a Gingerbread porter. I found a few recipes and kind of changed em a bit and came out with this. What do y'all think? Any and all critique is welcome! 60 min boil OG: ~1.072 FG: ~1.021 Fermentables: 11# Maris Otter (or Vienna) 1.5# Biscuit malt 1.5# Crystal 60L 1#...

Hey All, I recently brewed this Aprihop clone (found some where on internet). It is delicious, but only problem is that there is a ton of residue. I've left over an inch in the bottle and there is still floating things. Any idea why? I used a secondary and all. Could it be due to the apricot...

Hey All, I have never used Irish moss before. I got some a while back and it smells like fish food. I have never used it out of fear...is it supposed to smell awful? Think its good? Happy Brewing! Saul
