Thought I would post this here for those of you that don't follow the shop on Facebook or Twitter, seems like a pretty good deal on grain to stock up for the winter. I'm going to pick up a couple bags to hold me over for a few months, even cheaper than online and no shipping, sweet. "Black...

Boston Homebrew Supply. Really nice shop if you are ever in the area.

Hey all, just thought I would share this. The owner of the new LHBS in Boston has a brewing blog, written from the perspective of a former pro-brewer, but targeted to homebrewers. I've drank plenty of his beers, both pro- and home-brewed, he knows what he is doing. Some pretty interesting...

FYI, Boston Homebrew Supply just posted on facebook that they are opening this coming Saturday, 4/19, at 10am.

I saw this place as well and chatted with the folks who were inside on Sunday getting the space ready. It is called Boston Homebrew Supply, the owner is a former homebrewer and pro-brewer, very nice guy, and they are hoping to be open in a couple of weeks. My searching turned up a Facebook...

Try dropping some hops in boiling water, let it cool, and taste it, you will understand.

ugh, wish I had a place to keep this thing...carrying it up from my basement to my porch where I brew wouldn't work though. I need a garage.

Well, I guess I am done going to Gordon Biersch (only been twice) and RockBottom's, Boo to craftworks.

I think it may get very lost in a dark beer. I steeped about 10 leaves in hot water for a few minutes and dumped it into a watermelon wheat for a week or so. No vegetal flavor (this is the second time I have done this) but the mint is very very subtle, even in a plain mint wheat, to the point...

I was excited as I love most of de Proef's brews, this one was a disappointment. Zoetzuur on the other hand is amazing, as was Surly Bird.

Two things: 1. I think your understanding of how mashing works is a little off, temp dropping a few degrees towards the end will not leave you with a more fermentable wort. The higher temperatures you started with denature the amylases more quickly leaving you with a more fermentable wort, the...

Dogs can handle an incredible amount of weird stuff in their digestive system...you would not believe the things my dog has passed through his system, he likes to get into bathroom garbage cans...latex is not digestible, nuff said. Rawhide is fine as mentioned previously. My dog threw up a...

I have a few flanders reds going, I am planning on moving away from using the Roseleare blend and going to start my own blend of yeasts/bugs from bottles, I find the Roseleare blend has a really rubbery off-flavor that I don't love, it fades with time but I can still taste it in all the beers I...

Did watch it, they showed Top Gear a 2nd time after Brewmasters. I didn't really love either of them, but I plan to continue watching and see where they go. Both seemed way too scripted for these types of shows. I also think Sam Calagione is kind of a prick, I have met him a couple times...

Ask him how to make Eric's Ale, so I can make it.

Don't think I ever said it didn't have a malty profile. I brewed it again yesterday, used a different base recipe (Sweet Stout from Classic Styles) and added 1lb toasted oats (home toasted) and used Marris Otter as the base malt. We'll see, should be ready in a few months.

Just saw this got resurrected again. I made the beer back in 2008, drank one keg in the winter of 2008/2009 and it was amazing. Everyone who tried it loved it, and I really enjoyed it as well. At that time, I was brewing with a friend and we would split 10g batches. Around a year later, he...

If you can only go to one place, go to the Falling Rock Taphouse, best beer bar bar a long shot.

So I am subscribed to this thread but no updates for a while... I am thinking about doing something similar after drinking another bottle of the Red Rice Ale last night (my liquor store is finally carrying it now...yay!). I saved the dregs from the bottle and will do a stepped up started...

For me it was dropping my fermenter this past sunday with 11-gallons of freshly brewed Dale's Pale Ale (clone) on my basement floor while trying to carry it from my backyard to my basement fermentation chiller. My rommmate usually helps me with this step, although I have done it alone before...
