Buy the corny. Drink beer from keg while eating fish. Done.

Congrats! You're going to love it. Coopers makes excellent kits, too.

Don't mean to steer off topic. But I just happened to be thinking about that water into wine story this morning. Did you ever do the math and realize that he made at least 120 gallons of wine for that wedding reception?! Dude knows how to party.

Ah, this thread is inspirational! I don't know if I've already mentioned that I'm making a bar in my garage, primarily using junk that's in my garage and things I find at the swap meet and rummage sales. This is definitely in the same vein. I'm going to try this and maybe put some pics up on...

Wow...lots of tasty looking recipes on this thread! I love Cascade too, and am about to brew another batch that's quite similar to yours, but with a bit more munich and crystal--more of a Red ale or amber ale maybe (I don't know what you call it when a pale ale isn't that pale anymore but has...

That looks like a nice strong bitter. A lot of times people really pile on the specialty malts/crystal malt on a strong bitter, but I think you'll have a nice moderate malty profile. Good luck!

Ouch. I tried this one the other night and was not impressed. The aroma is great, but the flavor was, exactly as you mentioned, way overshadowed by a harsh hop bitterness. I'm no pro beer taster or brewer, but I really think that when they brew a beer like banana bread, or pumpkin ale, they...

Bossdrums...this is so funny. I just did the exact same brew and took pics and all in order to post a play by play like yours on my blog. The only difference is the quantity (2 gallons) and the fact that I brewed mine specifically for the Mr. Beer brewery system. When I first started it was...

Thanks for the advice. Mash temp was actually the thing I wanted feedback on the most. I usually mash lighter beers ~67-68c because I like the maltiness, but I wondered if someone might say to mash lower on this one due to the high gravity. Thanks for the confirmation.

That's how I've always done it and never had a problem.

Hi all, I've been wanting to brew something big and malty, but have very little experience in the area. This is the recipe I've come up with, but I'd like any input you all might have. for about 4 gallons 4.5 kg Maris Otter 450g brown malt 340g medium crystal 225g dark crystal 225g...

s-04 is a great yeast for ales. I always associate the flavor profile with bitters, though, and so it tastes a little weird in a cider, to me. That's pretty subjective, I know, but I can't avoid it. I've also used white labs 775 English Cider Yeast and it was very good--does what it says...

Let us know how it turns out...that one sounds tasty.

Just picked one of these up yesterday, to sample and review for my blog (excuse to drink weird beer). Sorry to hear you didn't like it. That certainly helps you in figuring out what you like/don't like though. Plus, it would've been a bummer had you enjoyed it, as homebrewing with bananas is...

I use s-05 a lot and, as stated above, it almost always loses its krausen after a couple weeks. Sometimes it's still fairly cloudy, though. Just the nature of the strain, I think. I've heard people say that the dry variety is an even higher attenuater than the liquid version of this strain...

If you up the malt syrup, you'll get a bit more body and flavor. That's not a bad thing, but if you want to keep it lighter, substituting cane sugar would be fine. If it were mine, I'd replace half of the white sugar with cane sugar, the other half with malt syrup: 5900g malt syrup 700g...

Can't comment on the rest of the questions, but as for yeast, I'd go for the cider yeast. S-04 will work well too, but Young's would be my first choice. Just my 2 cents. Good luck!

The Robot Song is amazing. (Binary solo) 00000000100000000011000000000111

I'm going to try to fit one more vagabond ale in this year, a 2.5 gallon batch that will use up the munich malt extract I have and leftover trappist ale yeast. Next year I want to brew... Original IPA, to be squirreled away another SNPA clone some brown porter (maybe another Monkey Knife...

It also causes temporary impotence. I've heard it was given to sailors so that on leave in a port they wouldn't be able to, you know, stand at attention. Edit: okay...just had a search on the web and apparently the impotence thing is a sham. Don't ever listen to me. :oops:
