He should definitely love it! I basically interviewed him to find out exactly what he likes and doesn't like. It's his own custom beer. Gonna get him a personalized etched glass mug to go with it, should be a nice touch. He's crazy excited about getting his own beer lol

I like to experiment so maybe I'll try that with the next batch and let you know.

Alright, maybe I'll skip secondary and just give it 14 days in Primary before bottling. My next question would be about keeping this all sanitary. You can boil the water of course, then cool it down to cold brew it... but you can't really sanitize the coffee... right? How about pouring the...

Just wondering here, since I really have no experience with stouts (this is my first)... is it really pointless to put a stout in secondary? Are you guys saying there's no benefit at all and I might as well just add the coffee at bottling and it will be every bit as good? Or are you guys...

So on Sunday I brewed what looks like it will be a really nice sessionable stout (all grain), and I plan on adding coffee in secondary. I have it fermenting at my Dad's place where I brewed it and it was bubbling like a maniac when I checked it Monday. Gonna check it again tonight but expect it...

I know this post is kind of old, but I'm looking for a clone recipe for Ruthless Rye. Any chance you could share the recipe you have? Actually what I'm looking for is something to reference to make my first rye pale ale. I'm not going to exactly follow a clone recipe but I want to get an idea...

It turns out the fermentation didn't actually stop, I'm an idiot and didn't realize the alcohol in the airlock had partially evaporated and the level was too low. Once I topped it off it started bubbling at a healthy rate again. We racked it over to a 6 gallon carboy and reunited it with the...

I really need to get a thermometer for that room and start paying attention to the temperature. The starting gravity was actually a little low, I used less honey than I probably should have. I used 10 pounds of honey and 4 pounds of plums... however I'm thinking the gravity reading may not have...

Dude this is great! Bravo!

I just posted a thread about my mead actually. For the first 48 hours nothing happened, I had used the leftovers from my last batch and thought maybe it was all dead. I was going to buy new yeast the next day to try and save it and when I went to check on it I found this (see pic)... the yeast...

I know this is long, but any mead lovers out there may take interest, and your input would be appreciated. So I just made my second batch of mead. The first mead fermented very well, so I kept the yeast, and pitched it into the plum mead I just made. After the first couple days there was no...

Hi everyone! This will be my first post at these forums but probably not the last! I want to get into full boil and know that a lot of people just use a turkey cooker. I can get this one with my American Express rewards points...
