    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Rhubarb Rye

    Jtratcliff, My apologies, I just now saw your response. My batch was delicious. The volume I was able to harvest after some accidents was hugely popular on a family vacation. Not a drop survived. I'm working to improve the recipe a bit by adding honey malt, crystal 60 and upping the rye...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Rhubarb Rye

    One final note here for anyone who may stumble across this thread. Do NOT puree rhubarb. Let alone that those stringy threads catch in every valve and other piece of equipment, the last gallon of this batch was sludge. It's tough to get fruit into a carboy, but don't give in to short cuts...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Rhubarb Rye

    I thought I'd check back to see if you'd gotten curious and opened a bottle or a few yet? I kegged this weekend and had a pretty bizarre experience. After completing siphoning and getting that last little bit into a glass to taste, I was setting the glass down and the open keg fell over on...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Rhubarb Rye

    Just a quick follow-up. I decided to boil a cup of DME reduce temp to 150 and steep 5lbs of blended Rhubarb in wort for 20 min. My thinking here is that the embedded DME would really get the yeast working over the Rhubarb, though I have no scientific basis for that thinking. The result of...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Rhubarb Rye

    Solving for the red color was awfully clever, I wouldn't have come up with that. Thanks for the note, i did some fruit beer research and found at least one opinion that steeping under 150F and under 30 min will not cause a pectin haze in fruits with higher pectin levels. Rhubarb is relatively...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Rhubarb Rye

    Thanks for the post! I too have found an odd fascination with the alliteration of this combination. I boiled my version this eve and only after happened to stumble upon this. I was looking for a 'farmhouse' style with a rhubarb addition, although I'm really using that term as justification...

    Fast and loose with grapefruit

    Fizgig - thanks for the note, I'll sleep a little better tonight when I get around to it. The aroma from the bubbler right now is amazing. It seems like real fruit is an interesting alternative in adding fruit notes to wheat beer rather than going crazy with a C hop. Good note on the pectins...

    Fast and loose with grapefruit

    I'm relatively new to brewing still, steeping grains is about as advanced as I get. However, my attraction to brewing is to push the envelope. Now that I have my latest experiment in the primary, I'm a little less than confident. I was loosely following a recipe by Sam... something, of...

    Igloo 4.6 Cu Ft Kegerator

    I brought my Igloo 4.6 FR465 home tonight and I can now reveal the interior dimensions. The dimensions of the full height interior space are 8 3/4D X 17W X 29H. This would indicate if you're using ball lock cornys that are true to the 8.5" X 25" size, you've got an exact fit for $124! (you'll...

    Home Brew Dispensing Mobile Command Center Build

    Great project. I'm now thinking of putting a higher priority on an outdoor 'solution' this summer. I just didn't appreciate how important that was. Thanks for the education. The lovingly custom-made portable homebrew keg station sitting next to a torn open 18 pk of busch light is somewhat...

    Coriander ?

    I'm thinking of adding a slight coriander / orange hint to a blonde ale with citra... maybe 1/4 oz each. Has anyone tried something similar?

    Brand New Brewer. Cecil County Maryland

    Thirsty Brewer is great. You can tell the staff loves what they do and are great resources. Good prices and selection of ingredients (I'm an extract brewer, so take that for what it is). I've seen some negative comments about the place online, disregard these. Yes, you have to go down cement...
