Would you drink mud?
You might drink this Irish Stout - It is like mud! 2 weeks and counting!

That looks GOOD!
I made a batch of IPA last week; I'll bottle it in a couple of weeks, and it should be really good by July/August...

Can I pour a little JD in it? 0 -
Methinks me has to brew.....been a while! 0 -

Don't leave it open without an air lock. Be a shame to pick up an airborne particle that could ruin that great jug of brew. 0 -
My moms family is from the County Mayo. I have a Guinness in my hand right now. Looks a lot like yours. Enjoy! 0 -
Great grandpappy used to make stuff like that in the bathtub
back in the Ozarks. Food coloring's a nice touch. [8D]0 -

+1 mateomasfeo!
I hope that image was just pre-racking? Otherwise, you may end up with some "funk" in your mud. [;)]
This is about 3 minutes before I started bottling. It had been brewing for 2+ weeks. It is now bottled and sitting in a large plastic container waiting to be drunk. This batch only needs about 2 weeks before I can open it.0 -
...LOOKS GOOD!..used to make a great dark beer, not hard at all. Some how a fruit fly contaminaed a batch once...and it turned to vinegar,yuck! I do make a real easy wine a friend told me about, prison wine...[:D]
...They use to empty the toilet in their cell and make it in the toilet [:D][:0]...I just use a 5gal food bucket from the deli though...pass on the toilet!...super easy to make, and actually very good...[;)]0 -

Do you use priming sugar, or are there enough fermentables left at the end of your 1st or 2nd stage? I got away from bottling about five years ago and used 5 gallon stainless steel soda kegs, then forced the carbonation with C02 (like the big boys). When we moved up here I sold, or gave away most of my brewing equipment. I still have my George Papazian (SP?) books and a few important brewing tools (hydrometer, thermometer, one 2.5 gallon glass carboy for short runs and mead, a few good airlocks, my trusty chinaman's hat for straining and my 4 gallon brewing kettle). Had eleven soda kegs, six 5 gallon glass carboys, countless fermenting buckets, a copper wort chiller, jockey box with a good quality tap, a zillion tap handles (so it seemed), a Co2 tank/regulator and my home made 40 quart mashtun. All that stuff would have taken up too much room in the moving van (not to mention the garage at our new home). Some day! I will get back into it. Sure miss the outcome of patience and creative brewing. Enjoy! [^]
I'll try to locate my hand written recipe books. If you're game for something that will knock you down, tastes great going down (or coming up if you have too much), I created a brew that I named my "Honey Maple Nightmare Beer" and was one of my last bottled batches. It seemed to take weeks to finish fermenting and was up in the 8.5% range. Smooth, really tasty and you could run your tractor on it. [:D]
I use the priming sugar but I am about to switch over to the keg system. I'll make another batch or 2 with the priming sugar and then might invest in the soda keg systems. The problem is I want a smaller one that will fit into my fridg. I don't really want to get a kegerator or the bigger 5 gallon soda kegs. a 3 gallon might do it though.
I'll definately take your recipe. I am still at the kit stage but eventually I will branch into making my own kits.0 -
I love stouts...and those DARK ales.
Our local brewing company has an Oatmeal Stout that is fantastic.
I'll only drink it at cellar temperature though- 55*F.0 -
Man I bet that's potent.[:p] 0 -

I would if it was in Brad Pitts underware. Danielle0 -

Perhaps a double racked carboy. But the proof is in the finished product.
Still, I miss the gentle purring of an active CO2 trap.0
