I'm WAY late to this thread party (and apologize in advance if I missed mention of this already as I admit skipping a couple pages). At any rate, I came across an interesting beer yeast identification project today and the associated results, protocols, etc. that they used - looks like it was...

I post this knowing it is crazy to many here but... The hops are in so we used some cluster hops to decorate Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

So I followed my recipe above and after 4 days I was at 1.028. Bottled, let carb for the 2 days and then pasteurized at 180 for 20 min (note, the temp started dripping and I turned on the burner for a bit - terrible idea and exploding bottles everywhere in the kettle - lesson learned). The...

Every brewery needs a sign right? Printed the letters one to a sheet and then traced with a wood engraver and used a woodburner to color them in. Finished off with a bunch of poly coats to mitigate sun bleaching. The secret to the propane system is the nice above ground tank you sort of see...

Took a shot a Ginger beer today while my HLT is waiting for me to figure out how to wire my HERMS panel. Anyway. Here's what I did and the plan based on all the threads I've read... 5.5 gallon batch 4.5 lbs table sugar 1 lb brown sugar 2 lbs ginger peeled (mostly) and grated in the...

Nice thread. Rudds - should your travels ever take you out to Eastern Washington... I drink beer at the local brewery here in Prosser most weeks with a bunch of retired PhD's that traveled the world teaching people how to grow hops in every climate imaginable (Poland, Japan, etc.). As the...

I posted this on the wine part of the forum but figured I'd put it in here too and maybe more folks would see it and put in a reply? A wine beer? sure why not and I can trade beer for grape juice where I live. I drive by Alexandria Nicole where DFH sourced the juice once a month and thought it...

Wondering if someone here on the wine part of the forum can chime in and help me out. I'm playing around trying to come up with a workable hybrid beer/wine recipe based a little loosely on DFH's Noble Rot. Below is the recipe from BeerSmith that I worked on today a bit (just noticed the...

+1 on the Citra for Dry hopping. We made a great one last year using Simcoe, Sorachi Ace, and Citra using S04. It started off as a NB Ranger clone from a BYO magazine recipe and then my brew buddies and I swapped out the hops. Added the Citra at 15min and then also dry hopped with Citra (It...

I unfortunately have to sell my set of tickets for GABF this year so that I can help clean out a house that just sold... ugh. Anyway, before I try and get rid of them another way I thought someone here might like them. These get scalped at nearly double the list price onsite and through...

I just did some checking on hotels and can confirm that as of now the main closest hotels (Hyatt Regency, Hilton Garden, Doubletree Curtis) are booked solid the 29th-2nd. I've stayed at all 3 of those in the past and it was very nice to be able to stumble back after the fest and the inevitable...

Gone... dang it.
