Wow that is amazing! Now mine just looks shabby compared to that.

So we killed the keg of the wife's Hot Tamale (Serrano Wit) and at the very end I mixed a little with my RIS. So now I am thinking about combining the two together. So this is the rough mash up of the two recipes. Any thoughts or inputs? Recipe: Hot Tamale Stout Brewer: Foamy Asst Brewer: Grico Styl...

Interested, except the 30 years life experience. I could pick up smoking and take away 2 years of my life, would that work?

I'll be there, I havent decided on what i will bring yet.

I dont believe in rumors. You know the rules, pics or it didnt happen.

So amber, but i do like how this recipe came out. I will need to play a little more, and see just how ruby I can get these beers.

Its fun times, and gives great suggestions. Though when you unlock some badges, your liver starts to hurt.

Fermentation has been on my mind as well. My plan is to ferment 10g in a 15.5g Sanke kegs, and 5g in my fermentation bucket. That way i can play with different yeast, oak, or dry hops.

After talking to some people last night, and some more research. I think I will end up going direct fired with NG. Thank you to those of you who have offered up your breweries, I will be in touch and I cant wait to see how they work. I will keep updating this post as I gather more info and start the...
