Anyone ever brewed with 5 hour energy drinks? I was think a small 3gal batch of a wheat beer and adding a couple of 5 hour energy berry to it. I figured it would be a good brain beer for a Saturday mowing/yard work/etc ale. Does that sound crazy?:drunk:

I called my local homebrew shop and they told me they were out of Vienna Malt at the moment. I really only need .10lb of a Vienna Malt. I thought it would be cool to try and experiment with kilning my own. Anyone got any ideas on the specs Temp/Time? From what I found you either start with 2...

So I was curious if anyone have ever brewed with Durian fruit? I'm not sure if it's a really good idea....but I've been floating the idea of a recipe. I know there's a dish called 'Tempoyak' that's made from a fermenting Durian, but it looks more like a weird paste. So I know anything I make I...

So I've done the 'Capture Wild Yeast' tutorial and I have a colony of Wild Yeast. I'm unsure what temperature to ferment a test batch at. I've built a colony up through starters that have been at 65 degrees, but I wondered if there's a better way to determined the correct temp to ferment at.

So I was showing a friend how to do a partial, while I was trying to brew all grain at the same time. I was distracted and screwed up on my strike temp. So I doughed in at an excessively high temp (278-282F). I was doing a session ale (I've been designing a Pale Ale for a comp so I've been try...

So I picked up one of these and I'm going to use it to crack my grain. I'll post my result soon.:ban:

I tried using the power of the search engine, but I find it not very good at searching ;). Anyways, I wonder if anyone has tried to bump up their O.G. by adding cornstarch. I've talked to a few people in my HBC and they think it my cause a stuck mash or clog when I go to do my sparge. I'm...

Okay I've collected all the pieces except the 4'x8'x2" extruded polystyrene Blueboard. I was wondering if anyone who lives in Houston, Tx and has built this knows where to find this piece. I've been looking for a week now. Any help would be great thanks.

So someone posted using one of these to hold their carboy during the summer. Well I looked at it yesterday and thought it was cool but I can't seem to find the post anymore. Does anyone know where that post is?

Okay so I have about 11 gals fermenting on a simple Mead. I was wondering if anybody has ever used frozen fruit in the secondary? I was thinking about using Peaches. Okay here the recipe: 24lbs Wild Flower Honey 1 tbsp Acid Blend California Ale Yeast Super Ferment (Yeast Nutrient) Now...

So I have now pitched my wort on the same Yeast (WLP0001) for the third time and it seems to ferment faster every time. Initial took about a week to ferment, cause it was building up the yeast culture, the second time took about 3 days, and the last batch I did was done fermenting in like 1...
