Good Ole Dave's Ipa. This is my first attempt at dry hopping. It smells great in the fermentation chamber. Also a pink moscato, chardonay, and borrolo. Just kegged a dunkelweizenen.

Heidelberg (if I am spelling it right) is without a doubt the worst beer I ever had. Bought a 12 pack for 6 bucks in 1991. By 1992, the 12 pack, less one beer each stop, had passed through 5 different bachelor pads. It may still be floating around somewhere waiting for a new rube to take a swig.

My first brew was an octoberfest, followed right away with an irish stout. I use a log patterned from Charlie Papazian's book, but with more free-text. I am not much of a journaler, but as I look back it is interesting to see how I have progressed ( at least in my mind). Good article.

Great article. I found a hotter burner made a big difference with my 10 gallon batches. I also heat my mash and sometimes my sparge water on 2 different burners to decrease time.

Brewing with different water? I had a run of off-flavor beer and it turned out to be my soft water.Switched to well water, problem solved.

IPA to bottle any day now, and a Peach Moscato that is almost ready to cold crash. On deck is an oatmeal stout and a raspberry Moscato.

I usually cold crash in a better bottle for one month before bottling (moscato). Prior to that, I have been racking per kit instructions. I have not bulk aged for one year, but would not have any qualms. Are you purging your bottles with c02 prior to racking?

Well, so far the beer tastes good. I used well water instead of soft tap water and used a swamp cooler to keep it under 72 degrees. I added a little lime zest to the boil and that may be a bad idea, but I am not getting a "sour tea" taste. I also boiled my corn sugar for bottling too long...

Thanks. I plan to put that plan to action tomorrow. I am going to brew my first all grain. Wish me luck.

I fermented this one in the primary 9 days, at 72 degrees (ambient temp), until sg 1.012. Secondary at 56 degrees for 1 month. I carbed with 1 1/4 cups amber dme (boiled for 10"). bottle aged for 2 weeks at 72 degrees. My last 3 beers were an ipa, 4 months old, a summer ale that I aged 2 months...

I took two of my beers in to my local home brew store. The first thing I found out is there are a lot more people working there than I thought. People were coming out of the woodwork to try free beer. Second, I was told it was cascade hops making the beer have a grapefruit taste. I was fine with...
