Hi, I am hoping someone here can help me find a wine making guide. A couple years ago I had found a guide on making wine from Norton grapes. I think it was from a Midwest agricultural org and it was a PDF file. I have plenty of books and guides on making wine but I'm interested in a guide...

Great idea and thanks for sharing, I might modify this idea a bit to suit my own interest but I'll certainly give you credit when I do!

Just finished brewing an All Grain Brown Ale, now enjoying a homebrew and watching Liverpool play Aston Villa! Been a pretty great day so far. :rockin:

Thanks for the links and information on this. Now I'm torn between making one myself and buying a complete setup for only 70 dollars! I'd love to hear how it works out for you Warrior as I'm buying some other equipment over the next couple months before I buy a Randall.

Love the name! been saying hopalottomus around the house for an hour now. I was there too on Saturday afternoon, waiting for them to tap it, got some of the first glasses right out of the pitcher they tapped it into at first. I thought the same thing, nothing much at first but I really...

Hi Yooper, do you have a link to the build info? I'd love to give it a try on the cheap!

Thanks Eastoak, that looks like something I'm going to need to play around with. :mug:

I was at the Heritage Brewers Festival in St. Louis last weekend and in the home brewers tent they had some contraption filled with hops that beer was forced through from the pressurized keg. The contraption was clear and completely filled with hops. Carbonated beer from the keg was pushed...

Brewing an Apricot Wheat. This will be my first wheat brewed as I'm not a huge fan of wheat beers but my wife loves them. Kegging a Blonde Ale and transfering an American Brown Ale to Secondary.

Brewing a new batch of brown ale this weekend, the last batch vanishe quickly :-) Its similar to Caribou Slobber but I changed the grain bill slightly and using a different yeast than the original.

Loved the article! I too am in my first year of brewing and can connect with so much of your article that I almost feel I'm reading my own writing. One of the sections I connected too the most was your comments on how important it is to maintain temperature during fermentation and aging. But...

45 minutes left in my boil of a Blonde Ale. Awesome weather here in St Louis, have some steaks grilling at the same time.

Bottled my American Brown Ale this weekend and already have the immersion chiller in an English Ale.

I cold crash every time now, but i'm also kegging to force carb and then bottling with a beer gun.

Brewing up a slightly modified Caribou Slobber, since I'm picking up DME and specialty grains from my LHBS.

Hi Evonnida, nice to meet you. I was at Civil Life Friday night and today! I'll certainly be making many, many more trips there.

Hi Coachlight, I also live near the St. Louis area and was looking up Civil Life American Brown Ale recipes when I came across your post. My wife and I visited last night after tasting their beer for the first time at the Frosty Brewfest in Farmington a few weeks ago. We both fell in love with...

Good luck Beergazzi, this site has taught me so much as well. I'm looking forward to my first AG this Spring.

Thanks everyone for the responses. I figured I didn't have anything to worry about since the krausen was pushing out so thickly when I found it. I never used a blow off tube until now and for peace of mind I don't think I'll ever go without one again! Pretty excited about this robust porter...
