Absolutely! Beer floats are delicious and homebrew floats are even better. I brewed an oatmeal cookies and milk porter and it went great with chocolate ice cream.

Super awesome giveaway! Count me in!

I've brewed 23 gal this year, so 59,362 (edit)To specify, that was: - an old-ale based braggot (named Spinal Tap because we turned it up to 1.10 with 5lb of honey) - oatmeal cookies and milk porter - the innkeeper (northern brewer kit) - sour peach wheat - double black ipa (continuously...

Great article. I'll definitely take this into account the next time I'm building an English recipe.

If you are doing anything in a cold water soak (sanitizing) I don't think it would make much difference. Hot water applications, on the other hand, would probably lead to chemicals leeching into the solution. But I prefer to sanitize by a star san spray bottle so a sanitation soak isn't...

I honestly have no idea how this would turn out. When are you planning on adding the olives and what kind of olives are they? I'd say if you want true olive flavor you'd have to add it to the secondary. As with any fruit I brew with, I'd recommend using campden tablets mixed with the...

I don't know... Adam Savage was saying on Talking Dead afterwards that they did an experiment on Mythbusters where they had a bunch of people just push forward in a group and he was amazed at how easy it was to go through the blockade that was set up. Albeit, from the sound of it the...

Late night online shopping with my credit card... though who doesn't need more brewing supplies?

So I pulled a sample off of it last night and it actually wasn't bad. But I seem to have disturbed the film layer and it has settled back down to a more normal looking film. Kind of a bummer actually.

I have to say, if I didn't have a glass wine thief I probably wouldn't have pulled off of this but what the heck. The gunk on the thief is what it looked like when the infection first started, floating on top of the beer. I've seen it before and it usually ends up pretty sour. Flavor was...

I pulled a 2 liter growler off of it when I first noticed the infection. I just poured a glass of it and it's actually pretty good. Aroma is peachy and flavor is actually pretty good. No sign of infection in the growler. I'm a little hesitant to try anything out of the fermenter but if...

This is a peach wheat I made using a bag of peaches I got for free from someone with a peach tree and a can of hopped extract. Since I spent practically nothing on it I was fine with whatever happened to it. It went bad 4-5 weeks ago and I decided to leave it around just to see what happens...

Are you ready for this? I'm ready for this. Count me in!

My grandfather was a bee keeper so I have always had it on hand and enjoyed it

I like the idea of using lactose. That way I might be able to get a bit nicer body also. About how much would you recommend adding to a 5 gal batch? And yeah, I'm not lucky enough to be kegging yet :(

I started with a wheat recipe that uses a little chocolate malt to get a darker red color in the end product. I then went and picked 10 pints of raspberries at the local farm and I added half after the boil. I am planning on adding the other half to the secondary. I was looking around and...

Custom Brewcrafters, a local brewery outside of Rochester NY, brews their own beers along with custom beers for restaurants in western NY. They have 27 different beers listed here but I know they have more clients. Custom Brewcrafters Clients The beer is only served at the restaurant and in...

Hello all, I have been lurking around for a few months and I thought it was about time I became a little more active. I am in the Rochester area, more specifically in Fairport, NY. I started brewing last summer and have only done extracts to this point. I would love to move to all grain...
