1.85 / 12 oz bottle of Brewpastor's Water into Barleywine. It had 2 $7 bottles of grade A maple syrup.

I think I underestimated the potency of the molasses. My beer didn't attenuate very well and I was left with a really sweet, kind of weird tasting stout. I would recommend getting advice from someone who has successfully used it as far as quantity and the effects it will impart. I used a...

Hi Notnice. I would only consider myself an intermediate brewer, so take this advice for what it is worth. The White Labs web site lists 5 yeasts as being good for American Browns. I think the one you chose should be determined by whether you want a dry or sweet finish and your...

In no particular order: Midnight Sun Brewing - Alaska Deschutes Rogue

I was reading the 5 gal v. 10 gal mash tun threads and got to wondering. Could there be any benefit to mashing different grains in separate mash tuns? For example, the bulk of your base malt in one tun, at one temperature, and the rest of your grain in another tun at a different temperature...

or Jeeps! Pot calling the kettle black! ; )

I chose BeehiveBrewer because I'm in Utah and Utah is the Beehive State. The Beehive became the state's emblem in 1959 and symbolizes industry, thrift, and perseverance. My avatar changes constantly. Currently it is a ski photo on one of the back country tours I took.

so do we get pictures of your SWMBO and your beer?

Yeah, it has something to do with the alignment of the moon and stars today. I too got way over gravity. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to deal with more beer ; )
