so after a couple of months this thing is really tasty, great head (even used non fat-free cocoa). Its still thin (my fault), but delicious....packs one hell of a punch though

lol this is my first label, I usually dont care too much to name my beer or make one but this is some stupid joke gift for my dad. My whole life he would make a joke saying the 'num-nuts' would be a great band name...and hense the numb-nut brown ale was made in his honor (he is papa willie)

Drinking one of these right now, Disappointed by the thinness, but delicious

was just thinking about this today. I brewed an ipa a few months ago and didnt strain the hops out. I brewed another ipa about a month ago and added 1/2oz more hops at the beginning of the boil to get a little more bitter...but this time i strained it all out, and its alot less bitter whats...

lol as long as its not a picture of yourself

I dont know about worst commercial beer i've ever had, but my girlfriends roommate (knowing that I enjoyed good beer, and that i brewed) offered me one of her favorites...leinenkugel's berry weiss. Dear god was it disgusting, tasted like fruit juice mixed with a natty

I am about to brew my first partial beer (the water is on the stove as we speak) but I just realized I was unsure on something. This is the grains that the recipe calls for: 7.00 lb Amber Liquid Extract [Boil for 15 min] 1.50 lb Oats, Flaked (1.0 SRM) Grain 12.43 % 1.50 lb Pale Malt (2...

115.5 + 5 gallons orange hefe = 120.5 gallons

I just had the DFH version (dont know if theyre different) of the Saison du Buff, I must say it was amazing. I was wondering if anyone had attempted making a clone of it, or if anyone had a similar recipe they could forward me to (preferably partial or extract) Thanks, and i tried...

sorry not sure why my first 2 pics are so huge

made this one yesterday, I read that people were reporting not so much citrus flavor so I decided to use 5 blood oranges and half a grape fruit. I didnt realize until now that the recipe called for the zest of just 2 though lol, I used it from all 5....I think ill get some citrus flavor with...
