Finally had a chance to brew this past weekend. Bottled some sours from my two soleras. Made wort from a turbid mash to top them off. Brewed a...
Brewed a classic German Hefe over the weekend. 50/50 pils/wheat and Weihenstaphan yeast. I love a fresh Hefe.
Harpoon's version or the original? I'm not familiar with either, but if you can give a good description of it this forum may be able to crowd...
That might be worth an experiment. Maybe in my next batch I'll DH 5 gal in the keg, then move half of it to a smaller keg without the vegetal...
Not yet, I plan to brew in a couple of weeks. I'll keep you posted once I do.
The last (and first) mash hopped batch using Helio Gazer is still holding up to my original comments in the "What are you brewing" thread. The...
Following up on my Helio Gazer batch. I bottled (and bottle conditioned) some of the batch and dry hopped and kegged the remaining to do a...

There's a good tip hidden in Gorm's post. "Use swing top bottles" They typically have thicker glass and if pressure does build up it will...
I haven't been brewing or posting much lately, but my hiatus is over. Brewed a double batch this past weekend. Brewed my first mash hopped beer...

I guess I should have had a pre-amble for my goals. What I'm trying to brew is more a "concept beer", so it won't follow any style guidelines or...
I'm working on a recipe where I want to amp up the honey flavor in the final product. This is the first time I'm trying this so I thought I'd ask...
I do the PBW soak once or twice a year, whenever it's needed. I soak overnight with PBW solution 1oz/gal with house hot water and then the next...
I have 2 taps, but only keep one active, and it's usually an IPA (any one of probably 10 different IPAs, WC, NEIPA, Session, IPA, IIPA, etc) But...
Lot's going on... Brewed a Bo Pils 2 weeks ago Harvested this years hops last weekend Brewing my Festbeir this weekend (using the pils yeast...
I would say books, beers, brewers, people and traveling. Inspiration seems to come at random from all of these areas. @HOPTOMIC_BOMB you begged...
I see one mention of Lord Chesterfield, I still enjoy that beer every once in awhile. That was a super premium beer for me in the 80's. I see...
