That's the one Steve! The recipe that guy (Ed Wort) has posted for everyone has won him awards in various competitions around TX...it is GOOD stuff. I've got 2 batches fermenting right now...the longer it sits, the better. What's also great about it, is you don't have to worry about what temp. you ferment at- room temperature is just fine!


(that is a cool forum for those interested in brewing btw- TONS of info...if anyone joins for the heck of it, look me up- I'm ODP (Ol' Dirty Plastered)

yes! love me some homebrewing.
it's hard to do in the spring/summer around here, but perfect for the fall/winter.
hell, i have one last bottle from last winter...i just can't bring myself to drink it.
next up is some kind of holiday brew.
hit me up if anybody wants to trade some brews

here's some pics from last years brewin':

Good stuff.

My Dad's into the idea of making apfelwein. I'd like to make it here, but we lack any warm space - it'd have to be in the garage and it gets proper cold there this time of year.

From the bowels of Skullandbones...

This was the oldest home-brewed beer thread I could find, so I'm bumping it.

I made a pretty kickass pale ale recently. It's a hand-me-down family recipe dating from Prohibition that I spruced up with some homegrown hops and a cheater's barrel aging (barrel chunks put into the fermenting bucket).

My father-in-law has a full 5 gallon brewing kit...well, actually 2. He bought one for me for Christmas a few years ago, and misplaced it in the basement, and over time, he's pilfered parts from the spare kit. So, he's got the ability to do two 5 gallon batches at a time.

In addition to my wet-hopped, barrel-aged pale ale, he did the same barrel aging and wet hopping to an amber ale kit.

I've also played around with a 2-gallon experimental batch of spruce beer with a Mr. Beer kit that I got from a buddy. The recipe I used combined one from the commander of British armed forces in North America with one from Benjamin Franklin, so it was a weird, very primitive beer. It came out fully carbonated, as in the caps "popped" like they should've, but was flat as a pancake when you poured it into a glass.

Dollar for dollar, it costs me about $20 to do 50 bottles...my FIL's beer costs between $30 and $50 for the same 40-50 bottles, but he buys premade, prepackaged kits that are nearly idiot-proof and usually come with any specialized hardware that you'll need.

Been brewing for 5 years or so. Moved on from extract and got one of these ~ a year ago. Best thing ever.
