Looks like we have a BEER web Brewing | ||
| Panhead_dan |
Slaughter, That sir, is a great idea! We would need to list the location where it was found due to the fact that lots of ales dont get shipped very far. Hmmm. I'm getting more ideas... | ||
| Deadduck |
Slaughter I like the idea, but raise you one. I would suggest to my fellow brewers to post up their favorite award winning recipes. I've got a few to share, and some that aren't award winners "yet". Sweetwater IPA is still one of my favorite store bought IPA's. Just got finished with a Harpoon IPA, it was pretty good. | ||

Wrong topic for a Monday? | ||
| Panhead_dan |
I would be willing to send a six pack from herabouts to someone back east who can't get and is interested in whatever ale we agree to send in exchange for same. Both parties to post a rating. | ||
| Slaughter |
I love the recipe idea. Been thinking of home-brewing for a while now since a few friends have gotten into it. I'll ping Blake... see if maybe we could set up a Brew-only section. | ||
| Slaughter |
Dana brings up a GOOD point. Folks burn a batch of grain, soak it a while until it rots, strain it and sell it as an "exotic." Sunny and I gotta stop in to the Boiler Room for a burger and a brew (just a taste, we'll be driving ourselves) - we're coming a week early. | ||

Steve, I'll PM my cell. If you guys do decide to go for a ride to The Boiler Room. Give me some advance and give me a jingle and I'll make sure I'm there. To all you Homecomers coming to Wisconsin. If you wanna try one of the leading selling Micro in the Country?? Then you'll wanna try a New Glarus beer. Like there seasonal's which Alpine will have on Tap and there tap called Spotted Cow. Spotted cow is there flag Ship. It put them on the map. Made in New Glarus Wisconsin. I'm sure most of you will enjoy it. Dana | ||

Dana - thanks for the PM... will look you up. Will have to sip a bottle or two (if Sunny's driving) - at least get a dinner and ONE GOOD NON-LITE beer. Darker, hoppier the better. | ||

Okanogan Springs Lager. Gotta go to BC to get it. Its a small run brewery; less than 50000 cases per year. Light flavor, heavy hitting alcohol content and easy drinking. Went up one year to bag my limit of two cases... while I was at dinner my truck was broke into... they took the beer. Left the deck, the cds, the new dvd player, and the new field hockey pads and paint baller supplies.... just the beer was gone. | ||

Hughlysses +1 on the Young's! Awesome beer. | ||

The best beer they make, by a WIDE margin, is Red Brick - the only catch is it's only available within the city of Boston, only on tap and only in a handful of bars. I agree. While at UCONN last summer we snuck over to Boston. I'm origanally from there so wanted to go hit the freedom trail. We had quite a few at Cheers. I loved it. I emailed them to see if they would send me some. I got a reply but it was a no go! Panhead...I wasn't too impressed with Moose Drool but wouldn't say I didn't like it. Whenever I travel I try to get something I've never had from local brewers. Twin Peaks made a couple I enjoyed out in Phoenix. | ||

If you like beer... you need to visit Milwaukee for the outstanding beer brewing history. To pull the trifecta in Miltown you have to do Miller, Lakefront and Sprecher. Don't plan on riding, driving or even walking after successfully pulling off this feat. Miller = free tour x3 samples, Sprecher $4 tour x4 samples of dark German brew, Lakefront $7 tour x4 samples +1 free at a local establishment +collector glass. I have a few of these glasses in my collection.. heavy pub glass! So if you think you can drink a 12-pack of progressively tastier beer... this is a great time! Otherwise, one at a time is still great fun! http://www.lakefrontbrewery.com/main.html http://www.sprecherbrewery.com/index.php | ||

Sam Adams Light is my fav light beer, but Yuengling Black and Tan is my fav regular. Miller/Bud/etc is all watery crap. Fruity beer is just gross. Can't get into it. Same with the chocolate blends. After trying many, I've decided it's best to just let beer be beer. Adding "flavors" just screws it up. ~SM | ||

9 lbs british 2 row 3 lb marris otter .5 lb roasted barley 1 lb british med. crystal (55L) 1 lb belgian biscuit malt 1 lb flaked oats 1 lb special roast malt 24.6 IBU's of Galena 60 min boil 3.4 iBU's Sterling 15 min boil Wyeast London Ale III 1318 All of this equals 10 gallons of an award winning brown ale unlike anything you can buy at the store. brew and enjoy | ||

UPDATE: Going to work with Custodians to see if we can come up with a beer, ale and brewing section here on Badweb. Some of us are considering getting into homebrewing and just comparing notes and resources would be awesome. Sharing some regional or seasonal micro-brews (shipping UPS???) - sharing recipes and methods - just sounds like fun. Problem is posting in Quickboard just gets out of control so we will be "segregated" into our own section. Don't know if we'll allow "LITE" beer participation - you never know. I might have to get over my brew-bigotry. | ||

I'm in. I've brewed six 5-gal batches since winter. Here are some great resources: John Palmer's How To Brew: http://www.howtobrew.com/ The Jamil Show along with associated Brewing Network Pudcasts: http://thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/The-Jamil-Show These guys are a bunch of wankers (Just kidding, they're another forum just like this one...) http://www.homebrewtalk.com/ Brew strong my biking and brewing brothers and sisters! | ||

Slaughter, At first I thought "light beer participation- hell no!" but it seems like most of the folks I know drink the stuff. My point is that this is the pool of people who need exposure to the finer things in life the most and if they have enough curiosity to seek out info on the subject, might well end up converted. Just thinking out loud. | ||

12 lbs of fermentable grain for a 10 gallon batch? That's a pretty small beer. Sure it's for ten gallons? | ||
| Hootowl |
Leave the "lite" brewing to the commercial guys. They do it VERY well. Even advanced home brewers have a hard time duplicating commercial light lagers. It ain't easy. I stick to IPAs, browns, porters, and stouts with the occasional red thrown in. If I want lawnmower beer, I buy it. If you're just starting out, find yourself a local homebrew shop. They'll have a club you can join, and will probably do brewing demonstrations on the weekends and have "samples" on tab for your sampling pleasure. Get to know the owner, they're usually small businesses, and he or she is probably out on the floor milling grain or packaging hops. You can buy grain and yeast online, but why not support your local shop? It's a much more rewarding experience. | ||

I always thought lite beer was just a lager with about 50% carbonated water added.... | ||

Cherry Wheat is good from the bottle, but when I had it on tap it was way to sweet. | ||
| Deadduck |
Thats 16 pounds of fermentables, I think the SG is around a 1.049. Makes for an easy drinking session beer. The secrets in the mash temps, finishes out around 1.011 +/- or so. imagine a Newcastle and a Guinness mix | ||
| Gbr |
Never been a fan of the Cherry Wheat. Thought it tasted like beer flavored cough syrup. Couple of you have mentioned Moose Drool, that's pretty good. Big Sky Brewing out of Missoula, MT puts that out. Another good micro out of MT is Copper John Scotch Ale. A nice strong dark ale, but probably hard to find outside of the northwest. gbr | ||

The only way I ever drink Cherry Wheat is in a "chocolate cover cherry"..... 2 parts cherry wheat 1 part Guinness... you have to float the guinness on to it like making a half and half or black and tan.... looks good when you are done and tastes good as well.... turned more than one girl on to guinness this way.... I am a guinness man, but I have been on a IPA stint now for a few months.... DogFish 60 min and Bridgeport IPA's as well as Ranger IPA from New Belgium... Cheers-pete | ||
| Crackhead |
pete, that sounds good | ||
| Hex |
The secrets in the mash temps... Don't tease, do tell! | ||
| Slaughter |
Boy oh boy do we ever need our own Badweb Brew section! My ONLY PROBLEM with a brewing section is that getting a good recipe working is probably more complicated than properly setting up your suspension, chosing tires and getting the engine modifications down right. |
