Brewing a Newcastle Brown Ale clone recipe and a holiday ale on Saturday.

I have made 6 batches of this mead over the past 4 years. Last night I found a gallon jug pushed to the back of a shelf in my basement which started on 10-14-09 and racked into the jug on 12-25-09. It is by far the best tasting. Definitely worth the wait, even if the wait was accidental!

Brewing another batch of Edwort's Haus Pale Ale on Monday.

I just started another batch of pumpkin ale.

I have been pulled over twice in the past six months by our local police (two different officers) while riding my bike. I commute to and from work most days by bicycle on roads with fairly heavy traffic. Both officers told me to get on the side walk and out of the street. One of them actually...

None so far... knock on wood.

Thanks for your response. I have been using MO because my LBHS had it in bulk. I have been using it in all the recipes I have brewed in place of 2 row malt or British pale ale malt. I LOVE the way my beers have been tasting. I was just curious on how much differently they might taste if I had...

I think I found my own answer here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/maris-otter-malt-vs-2-row-73206/

I am a fairly new home brewer and I am wondering what effect substituting Maris Otter will have on a recipe that calls for British pale ale malt? What will be different about the resulting beer?

I plan to brew either a batch of my Hillbilly ordinary bitter or another batch of my London porter this weekend. I haven't decided which yet. I may brew both if I have the time.

I am mac user and decided to go with BeerAlchemy after downloading the different trial versions available. I really like Beer Alchemy.

Congratulations! :mug: Addictive isn't it?

Welcome! :mug:

Fly fishing, fly tying, running, cycling, and playing classical guitar are my other obsessions. The time spent on each tends to go in cycles. I tend to fish more heavily in spring and early summer but then spend more time running and on the bicycle late summer, fall and winter.

I did the same thing. I have a mark every 1/2 gallon from 1 to 8 gallons.

I use cheap vodka just in case of suck-back.

I use Beer Alchemy and a 5 gallon rubber maid cooler. I set the value to 0 because I preheat the mash tun with a gallon of boiling water for about 10 minutes. When my mash water gets to the strike temp. and I am ready to proceed I simply dump out the preheat water. My mash temps have been...

I also live in Lexington. I ordered 4 lbs about a month ago. The shipping was $12.59 and it took about a week. Still a great deal!

I just started brewing all grain in August, after reading Palmer's book, so I started with 2 qts/lb. Yesterday, was only my 5th all grain batch, but I again had an efficiency of 80%. I had been calculating my grain bill based on a target of 75% and every batch so far I have over shot my OG by...

Cascade blonde is boiling away while drinking an amber ale. What a way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
