Hey hey! So the [awesome] wife bought me a Party Star Deluxe Tap for my birthday! I used it to tap my black IPA that was sitting in my mini-keg (check the black ipa thread to see the amazing recipe).... I can not even describe how incredible my beer tasted on tap. I don't know if it's the cask condi...

I bottled this brew about a month ago and I couldn't wait any longer so I opened it up and tried it last Saturday (while brewing a saison). Oh. My. Gosh. ... This beer is incredible! In. Cred. Ib. ALL. My wife tried it (who has a very refined taste in beer/wine) and was also blown away. She said it'...

Maybe this should be in a new thread, but since the topic was already being discussed here, I figured I'd bring up my questions here. I just got one of these 5L mini kegs from Amazon (father's day gift) http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Keg/dp/B0064" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... s=mini...

Oh man, I can't wait to try this! I brewed a batch of this a week and a half ago and plan on moving to secondary this weekend. Only difference in mine was the use of smoked malt instead of peated (my LHBS was out). Soooo.... we'll see how that turns out! I also brewed a parti-gyle batch to tide me o...

Very cool! Thanks for the thoughts, guys! The OG on this did come out quite a bit lower than I was hoping. My first couple brews, the OG came out way higher, so I'm still trying to get the hang of accurately calculating that. I hadn't thought of adding the syrup during fermentation! I'll do that nex...

Belgian Golden Ale

This is my third BIAB, and I think it turned out pretty well! I'm still waiting for it to finish conditioning in the bottle, but from what I tasted as I was bottling, it turned out pretty good! I use a 7.5 gallon turkey fryer from walmart for my home brew and this yielded about 5.5 gallons. MASH: 3....

Awesome! I just called my local homebrew store and they've only got 7 pounds of Styrian in. I was thinking I might need about 10 pounds for my 5.5 gallon mash. I was thinking of tossing in a couple pounds of Munich malt to sub. That sound like a good idea to you? Thanks for the tips on the hops. I'v...

Hey so I realized I haven't posted an update on my first brew, so here it goes! It turned out great! My wife and I opened up a couple bottles last Sunday and I really enjoyed it. It's a strong one too. I was definitely feeling it by the time I got to the bottom of the glass. :thumbs: My wife even to...

Gah! Too late! I already read a few posts in that thread and I'm currently mopping up bits of brain from the floor. Too much math! ;). I'm sure I'll get my way through that thread eventually, once I get a better grasp on the whole brewing process. Thanks for the tip on that other thread, Pistolpatch...

Awesome. Thanks so much for the advice! Definitely appreciate it. I'll let it ferment for 3 to 4 weeks then (and let it sit in the bottle for a while too). For my next batch I'm definitely thinking something nice and straight forward. The idea of doing a single grain, single hop brew is actually kin...

First brew!

Yesterday I completed my first ever brew (biab obviously). It was so much fun! I can already tell this will be a hobby I obsess over. I was making a porter and I tried giving it a Christmas-y taste so we'll see how that goes. I used 12 lbs pale malt, 1 lb back malt, 1 lb crystal malt, 0.5 lb chocola...
