Did a search already. Found plenty of references to the taste of molasses. I'm interested in ideas for adding molasses to a standard Porter recipe at kegging. Considering the viscosity of molasses, I imagine it will pose a problem to stir in. What are some techniques for adding molasses and what...

Poured the 165 degree strike water into the mash tun with the drain valve open. On my foot. Safety first, kids!

Do you have a small fan circulating the air inside your keezer? I had a problem with mold until I added a small 120V muffin fan. Also- between batches of beer I now wipe the inside surfaces with a dilute bleach solution. (10%) be sure to wear some trash clothes when doing this. And start at the...

Brewing an Imperial Irish Red tomorrow so it will be ready for St. Patty's Day!

Izzie, you must be way up in the GWN (Great White North) I'd guess your growing season ended at least a month ago. When did you pick these and where are you located?

My daughter was dating a fella after she was graduated from high school. He was a piece of work. When she finally convinced him to come meet the family he showed up in a 'wife-beater' T-shirt. She tried to convince me he was a 'trust fund' baby and made money in the stock market. Interpreted...

Me too. So I went with Velvet Revolver's Slither.

Sorry to wake this thread back up, but I don't feel as though usrbrgr 1969 got his question #2 answered, and I have the same question. My (First!) lager is at 38 degrees and is ready to move from secondary to bottles. Do I warm the beer to 68 degrees or just bottle at current 38? Once bottled...

Fresh hops are hard to find. I know they're *called* Amarillo, but they aren't from around here. It gets a tad bit warm for hop plants. You can grow some, but the harvest comes early. The 'other' HBS is in South Austin, and it's name is simply CoCo Homebrew. recently opened on South Congress...

<boicutt> Many of these quotes can be taken out of context. And this one is a prime example. They are snippets of a much more involved discussion regarding temperature. If you don't know where to start, this little bit of information won't help much. But I will offer a bit (based on my limited...

Great article! You mention something that I had wondered about, but couldn't find much information on. You say," If it isn't correct, there isn't much you can do to correct pH in the mashing step. It can take up to 30 minutes for pH to stabilize, but it will correct itself eventually, resulting...

Yep, Central Texas deer are small. Plus, it keeps them from getting hit by cars. Seriously- my dogs are miniature schnauzers. *sometimes my dogs go out and eat the grains, instead of the deer.* :-)

I dump mine in the yard for the deer. Sometimes my dogs go out and eat them.

Araknaphob1c made a coffee Porter using Ruta Maya coffee beans. He used 5 oz. I believe. I thought it was awesome! But, he thought the coffee flavor was over the top. Hell, nothing like a breakfast beer I say- Maybe he can step up with his recipe. If not, I have it at home. (If you can wait 4...

It was my pleasure, John. It was certainly nice to have you in town even for such a short visit. Hope the 50th party goes well. Chris

I feel your pain, man..:)
