I used the Lalbrew New England

Boomchugalug is the name of the site I get them from. They ship super quick and I usually get stuff within a coupledays. They used to be my LHBS when I lived near them belive it or not I didn’t even know malt came in a can until after I moved and tried the new LHBS! But when they closed I found...

My extract syrup is sent to me in a bag. Think it is easier this way and to me the stuff in a can is usually darker for some reason. Maybe this stuff is fresher?

I made this one a couple months ago. It was the best of all the heady clones out there Heady Popper https://boomchugalug.com/products/heady-topper-clone-alchemist-heady-popper-imperial-ipa-extract-beer-recipe-kit?_pos=1&_sid=21c30cf5a&_ss=r I just used the dried lallemand yeast. Came out...

I never used them. Even when they had good and fast service they cost too much. When I lived in NH I shopped at my LHBS Jaspers and they taught me to brew. After I moved I kept ordering from them at their website (boomchugalug). They ship me my stuff to MA sometimes the next day! I...

Just got an email from my LHBS Jaspers which is really boomchugalug.com they are doing $10 off on orders over 100 this weekend with the coupon 10OFF at checkout.

My 'baby' was born 20 years ago and I've still got things in the pipeline I said I was gonna do 'after the baby was born'. LOL But making beer was something I never skipped. Made many a batch with my kiddos Congrats!

My go to is Shut the F$%k Up Ale by boomchugalug It's an amber ale but like 6 % ABV so it warms me nicely in the fall! 6 1/2 lbs. Light Malt Extract Syrup 1 lb Brown Sugar 1 oz Magnum Hops (Bittering, 60 Minutes) ¼ oz Cascade Hops (Flavor, 20 Minutes) ¼ oz Willamette Hops (Flavor, 20 Minutes)...

I did this one about 6 months ago. Savoring the last few and getting ready to make it again. I did the extract version last time but going to do try the all grain version this time. Takes longer but I want to play with grain and maybe use pilsner. 11.9 lbs American 2 - Row 8 oz 20L...

Thanks for the help. Going to purchase some brewing software before next batch. This way I can play with the recipes and still get a good final beer.

Try boomchugalug. They have some of the best kits out there. Northern brewer is also the good ol stand by.

1/2 inch knock out punch makes a 7/8 inch hole. Are you looking to make 1/2 hole? I punched a 7/8 hole for my valve and 1/2 hole for my thermometer. The knockout punch that makes the 1/2 inch hole was a ***** to find. Finally found it on amazon.

I have noticed that recipes with higher IBU's tend to have you add some malt or other fermentables toward the end if the boil. Like this dogfish clone www.boomchugalug.com/downloadables/recipes/catbird_5400.pdf Do they do this to use less hops or boil volume? I'd love to know because I am...
