I really really enjoy this brew but @ $16/6-pack, it hurts to buy. I've done the Google/HBT search and I've come back with nothing. Anyone have any advice or can you push me in the right direction. I know two things: It is a lager (duh) It contains three roasted malts (from the...

Long time no post.... I tried 'The Google' but it didn't give me any info. I brewed a pilsner on Monday but when it came time to pitch, my starter smelled off so I tossed it and started over. So the wort has been sitting @ 33°F since brewing (~36 hours) and I plan to pitch the new starter...

Saw this on White Lab's Facebook feed -- http://beerpulse.com/2012/06/rogue-ales-to-create-beer-using-yeast-from-brewmasters-beard-follicles/ One more reason every brewer needs a beard. So mutant yeast can live in harmony.....

Woke up to find an ale about to blow it's airlock this morning while at 68°F so I needed to get it a little cooler. My only option was to remove an Oktoberfest from the fridge that was two weeks into lagering and replace it with the ale. Poor planning on my part -- so to control my ale, I...

Earlier this year I built out a Hopville/BeerSmith/RateBeer hybrid application for personal use which has served me well. With the release of Windows 8, Lightswitch 2012, and the HTML5 Lightswitch Client next month, I'll be creating a similar system for public use. I have already started...

The Recipe Design Class was sold out this week but AHS was cool enough to post the video on YouTube. I haven't watched the whole thing yet but the brewer from Jester King will be going through their design process so it might be cool to see how a professional does things. Enjoy.

So due to a lack of information regarding refractometers, I ended up adding enzyme to a 1.082/1.020 IPA (tweaked AHS Anniversary IPA Kit) which took it down to 1.008. I tapped it this week and I must say, I think that dry or extra dry IPAs are going to be my favorite personal brews now...

So after 3-4 evolutions of my house IPA which started as a commercial clone, me and SWMBO went back and did a side-by-side with the original commercial brew and we both agreed that my brew was far superior while still being similar. This got me thinking about a cool thread: If you have a...

I was kind of surprised nobody has posted here yet - but check out the Homefront IPA Project. It's part of a larger project called Hops For Heroes. So hopefully is this is successful, there will be more beers brewed in the future for our veterans. St. Arnolds bottles should be hitting shelves...

So I kegged three batches this weekend and everything looked like normal. Right before sealing the kegs I remembered to take FG measurements and to my surprise two of the batches were badly stuck; the 1.060/1.020 AG Brown Ale was sitting @ 1.036 and the 1.046/1.012 AG Pale Ale was sitting at...

Smoked a rack while brewing tonight. Both finished up right as the rain came in :D Also got to ponder the similarities between brewing and smoking -- have to watch those times and temps! Brined the rack for 3 hours, smoked for 1.5 -- not exactly low and slow like normal but it'll do for a...

I'm planning to do three batches this week, one is an original recipe and two are modified existing recipes. Please give any feedback if you have any. (Original) Cornucopia Oktoberfest Malts: 6# German Pilsner 4# Munich 4# Vienna 8oz Wheat 8oz CaraVienne 8oz CaraMunich 8oz...

Brewed this in a whim -- the recipe is featured in BYO Volume 18 Issue 3. Extract and partial mash recipes are also available in the issue. Brewed by Pecan Street Brewing in Johnson City, TX -- from their website: malt & fermentables % LB OZ MALT OR FERMENTABLE PPG °L 38%...

I've recently started kegging so my bottle collection has really started to back up -- I imagine I have 150 longnecks/bombers and ~75 750ml bottles. Last night (after watching 4 episodes of "Hoarders") SWMBO said: Her: "I'm not keeping any more of your bottles until you use the ones you...

So if I can calculate the volumes of CO2 in dry ice based on weight, is it possible to carbonate with dry ice in the keg? It would probably be more expensive but it would be perfect for time sensitive situations. Thoughts?

Went to a beer festival and this was a hit with my family so I'd like to clone it for them. Brewery Link The only recipe I can find that say's "tastes like Celis Grand Cru" "7.6% - A pale-straw Belgian strong ale made with pale barley malts, Saaz and Wilamette hops and seasoned with Curacao...

Title says it all.

So I did a partial boil mini-mash last night. Followed the instructions like normal but it was getting close to 11pm and the beer I was drinking was catching up with me so I got lazy and changed my process significantly and threw in some mistakes: 1. No-chill after the boil -- I didn't want...

So SWMBO finally kicked me out of the kitchen and my 1650w turkey fryer isn't cutting it anymore for full-boils and all-grain. I'm looking to build an e-kettle and move my operations to the garage but there is not an existing 240v connection. The hot water heater and the AC unit are in a...
