Brewed a stove top all grain brown ale yesterday. Had the recipe with me when I went to school and somehow lost it between there and the home brew supply. Pulled together the basics but forgot the biscuit malt. I think it will still be ok. Bubbling away in primary now.
Homebrewing makes my wife happy in the winter because it gives me a reason to keep the house at 68 instead of my normal 60-65. |

My son asked for a Home Brew kit for Christmas, any pointers on where I should look?

http://www.midwestsupplies.com/brewing-starter-kit.html I called them and for a little more money I upgraded the bucket to another glass carboy. I agree, that glass is the way to go! And its nice to have two carboys, that way you can have two beers going at once!

http://midwestsupplies.com/ or http://northernbrewer.com/ have homebrew kits, or better yet check out your local home brew supply. One suggestion I would make is to get a kit with a glass secondary.

Just reading through. Wifey-Claus is getting me a gift certificate for a homebrew shop here in SA and I am going to start brewing in 2011. Woooohooooo!!!! How many of you here do Extract vs MiniMash vs all grain?

Sounds like a great gift, Chip!
![]() ![]() I'm about 50% extract (always with a specialty grain step,) and 50% partial-mash. Been doing that for years & years, and have been perfectly happy with the results! As soon as I finish renovating my garage/workspace, I'll make the jump to all grain.

Bottling my Irish stout this weekend. Hopefully I'll have part of a day on Sunday to myself after the Christmas rush to get it done.
Then it's on to a Bell's Three-Hearted clone.

Last night a brewed a batch of Austin Homebrew supplies Green Belt Pale Ale with their special GreenBelt yeast. It has my two favorite hops Simcoe & Amarillo in it, so I am curious how much more the yeast brings them out.
I plan on washing this yeast a few times, so hopefully is a good one!

Matt (matt-n-ga) and My first batch, we made an Irish Stout and this picture was taken last night after we racked it to the secondary (did I get the lingo right?
![]() ![]() We tasted a sample and it tasted like flat, warm stout so we took this as a good sign. We plan on bottling New Years Day. |

Next time I'm in Austin I'll have to visit the store. Is it pretty nice? I'm brewing their Bavarian Hefeweizen.

Ya it is HUGE compaired to the old location. I would say only a 1/4 of the warehouse is the store front with the other part being storage for all of the mail order biz that they do. Place is ALWAYS packed. I think you would like it....

Grabbing stuff for a brown ale tomorrow.
Tonight I am soaking about 100 bottles that I have had in my basement for a while. I think stripping the labels off of bottles is possibly the worst part of brewing, but I can't stand drinking homebrew from a bottle with someone elses label on it. |
