Today's my birthday. 4yo knew exactly what he wanted to get me. Three Matchbox rescue vehicles. Which immediately upon opening he asked very kindly if he could play with them. Happy my birthday, son.

My very excellent LHBS didn't make the minimum order for this quarter's Imperial order. Damn, I was really hoping to get a fresh stock going. I can still get on an Omega order for some British VIII (016), supposedly their Fuller's strain. I'm thinking it's probably more likely to be akin to...

Seeking leads on a source for 16oz or better yet 13oz Willi Becher glasses. Libbey calls them Craft Pub. I really don't want to buy in qty 36 or more. Nor do I want 20oz. Thanks!

3.3 gallons English Stock Ale a la 11-11-11 Gunstock Ale. 3.3

We've got two different Old Ale blends available to us this holiday season. Wyeast is releasing their 9097-PC and Bootleg Biology has a possibly one-time limited release of an Old Ale blend as well. Both blends are some sort of English Sacc with some sort of Brett. As described by the...

Best deal on these since this time last year. Big enough for a full 55lb sack of European malt. h/t homebrewfinds https://www.homebrewfinds.com/2021/10/60-pound-capacity-vittles-vault-stackable-airtight-storage-bin-grain-storage-on-sale-for-26-98-hands-on-review.html

I've got this RIS... A 1914 Courage Imperial on Notty that's hit terminal gravity a bit high at 1.036. It tastes good, especially today after Monday's dry hop, but I wasn't going for pastry sweet. Historically, this would've seen brett so I'm thinking I might as well give it a try. Any...

@VikeMan I understand that setting a hop addition as FW will calculate it as boil time + 10% which matches lab tests showing a 10% bump in actual IBUs. However, I am not particularly concerned with actual IBUs. I am concerned with perceived bitterness and am attempting to match the perceived...

I was just about ready to go ahead with brewing this recipe on Ron Pattinson's Shut Up blog published in 2012 when Kristen England was writing the Let's Brew recipes. http://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/2012/02/lets-brew-wednesday-1914-courage.html?m=1 Now I see Ron posted his own recipe in...

With a handful of empty fermenters and an opening in the usual brew schedule, I'd been wondering what I should brew. Finding a gallon jug of local, pasteurized, no-preservative cider on the last grocery run, I figured it's time to give graf a try. Base beer will be a wee heavy. Very malty, easy...

Way back in the last century my very first taste of craft beer was a six of Stovepipe I bought at the brewery following a tour. I was a big fan of it, warmed my belly on many a Champlain winter evening. Now I'm looking to recreate that flavor memory but haven't found anything that looks like a...

@bracconiere I've been reading Lars Garshol's book Historical Brewing Techniques. Getting through the chapter on malt was of course making me think of this forum's resident maltster. Last page of the chapter recounts the author's experience brewing with a chap in Russia who makes his own malt...

Hello, I put up some chiles about a month ago and out-of-sight-out-of-mind allowed a cap of mold to grow on top. I was able to carefully remove it and just about all of the floating specks it left behind. Can't guarantee I got every last speck though. If it smells ok, which it does, is it ok to...

Hello, This thread will be where I chronicle my first few batches as I set up my kitchen brewery. I've made a handful of 5G batches of extract with steeped grains in my brother-in-law's garage and helped him with his first few all-grains in a cooler mash tun. For my setup, I am planning to...

Hey all, I've been interested in brewing for a few years, but just recently got the final impetus. Moved close to my in-laws and bro-in-law invited me to brew on his gear. It was a great intro. I cooked up two Brewer's Best kits then moved on to two extract + specialty grain recipes. I'm glad...
