Yea my Homebrew shop back in ATX was $15 for a refill, so an extra $5 isn’t terrible. But I do miss the days of $10 refills/swaps. I also dig refills over swaps, so I can keep my tanks for the kegerator(in process of building a new one after the move,) but currently I’m using them to refill my...

Thanks for that! I just moved to the area and gave them a call and they still refill so that’s perfect! $4/lb

In like Flynn!

I'm In!

I'm finally a paid member! I'm totally in! :D

Just made this tonight! Smell delicious and can't wait for the final product! Thanks for the recipe.

I received a copper wort chiller recently from a friend, this was a really helpful page! Thanks everyone!

I really want to try this now! Thanks for the recipe! :mug:

Is there a way to do a partial grain recipe?

You should do what I do. Have a bottling party! Invite people who will probably be drinking your beer anyway make then work for it! Haha!

I like the idea of a cookie beer! I was thinking a chocolate cupcake beer would be decently easy to do in comparison to a vanilla cupcake beer. I think I'm going to attempt the cupcake beer this weekend using Leithoa's suggestions with a few slight changes. If it turns out good, I'll let you...

Haha, no the point is not to be able to write that! (Although it would be fun) :mug: That would just be silly. This this guy ---> :ban: That's good to know, I didn't even think about that. I want to get a good cupcake flavor. It doesn't have to be perfect, but as close as possible. So I will...

It's a pretty basic Recipe. I would pretty much just do a powdered sugar/milk/vanilla extract combination. Could add butter for a buttercream icing, but I think this would be better. But would you up the amount of powdered sugar then? Thanks for all of the input by the way. I will probably...

We always make our own icing for our cupcakes(worked in a bakery). So I would be able to measure how much sugar goes into the icing. The only thing is that I'm not sure how confection sugar would be compared to your every day sugar.

Im thinking really hard about this post because I'd really like to see what we could come up with and I've not heard about a cupcake beer before. Anyone in the Boston Cambridge area? Maybe we could work on this?

Okay so I've been talking with SWMBO about this brew. And we came up a thought about using icing as a priming source. Would that be enough for carbonation and would it impart the flavor of icing into the beer as it carb'd? Any thoughts?

Thanks I'll have to check into it. I'm always worried about adding too much of a grain that's going to give me a different flavor than I expected. But I'll look into it at my LHBS.

I like this, it's a good start for sure. I would probably stay away from honey since I'd want a vanilla flavor. I would definitely attempt several ways of doing this though. What about yeast? I can't do a lager, I don't have the equipment for that. So it would have to be ale. Maybe Safale...

I may have to play around with it this weekend then. SWMBO is having some girlfriends over to bake. She can make cupcakes and I'll start on the beer. Do you think maybe it would be better to put a finished product in or just use the batter? I'm assuming it would need a vanilla flavor, or a...
