Very interested in trying both of thse brews, ideally in 22oz bottles. I have access and would be willing to trade Pliny the Elder, Abyss, and most things Oregon and Washington that are bottled. Let me know what you are looking for and I will see if I can get it.

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f126/black-butte-porter-145879/I am planning on brewing a porter that I can age for a year or more. I like the idea of using this Black Butte clone. I'd really like to get the abv of the brew up to about 10%, so my plan is to bump up the 2 row to about 18lbs. (I...

I have a converted 5 gallon Gatorade style water cooler that I use to mash. Works great. For a little bigger beers or bigger batches, not enough space. I can get another for free. So my question is, any difference between splitting the grains into two coolers instead of one bigger one?

I have really just been ignoring the idea of aeration because to this day I have never so much as shaken a fermenter to introduce o2. I can't imagine my siphon into my carboy with a racking cane introduces anything. I have been pretty satisfied with most of my beers and have never had one with a...

I'm pretty interested in brewing something very similar to the Pelican's Tsunami Stout. This will be my first jump into all grain having only brewed extract with specialty grains in the past. I've also never taken a stab at making my own recipe before so I'm looking for some feedback as I...

Last year was my first year w/hops and I kept them in pots all summer since we moved half way through. I'm thinking pretty seriously about getting them in the ground for this summer, but am a little concerned that they will take over my yard. What do you do to keep the roots contained in the...

Brewed my second batch last night (after a 3 year break) and was just looking for some info. Ran across this site and it looks to be a great resource! Thanks to everyone who has contributed, I'm looking forward to learning more about the process.
