radiatorhums Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Are most Winter brews IPA? I can't do IPA. Winter beers are usually darker. Closer to porters and stouts than IPAs/pales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaxcowboyx Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 alright, last time i post about this one, but i'm stoked on how it turned out. we did 120 bottles and put em out saturday, and i believe it's mostly gone if not completely. But if any of y'all are down here in NC, Beer Study in chapel hill got all the bottles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchard Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Noteable stuff from the weekend: Fremont Brewing's 2014 Kentucky Dark Star: Excellent beer. Probably the best thing i've had from them. The bourbon aging showed through perfectly. I need to find another bottle. The Bruery's Atomic Kanagrue: Wasn't a fan. As much as I absolutely love sours, dry-hopped sours don't do it for me. Always tastes like a bad infection that they attempted to cover up with dry hopping, even if thats not the case. I pitched the dreg into my lambic for the hell of it though. We'll see. Also, I finally got my kegging gear ready to go. Kegged my Milk Stout the other day. Pretty sure I over carbed it though. I had it at around 12.5 PSI for three days and it's spitting so much foam already haha. I dialed it down to 8 PSI or so though. The beer itself turned out great though. Probably my best yet. Brewing a pale this week sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomasj182 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Just dug this thread up to hopefully get some questions answered, I just began brewing my own beer (yesterday, actually) i went with a whisky barrel stout, does anyone have any experience with brewing this type of beer? i haven't read through the thread as it's 90+ pages but i'll read though a few pages over the next few days. If anyone has ever brewed this type of beer did you add any extra whisky or bourbon to it? I've been reading though on homebrew forums and people seem to like soaking the barrel chips in a whisky or bourbon and most have said about 6 oz for 3-4 days will do the trick. I'm debating on whether or not to do it because it's my first beer and I want to make sure everything comes out correctly. Any thoughts?

chamb117 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 so the stone stochasticity project golden stout blew my mind. it wasn't superb -- it was really good, but not elite -- but i couldn't get over how it was golden. HOW!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW!!!!!! so stout came to be originally just to designate "big" beers, so a pale stout is totally a thing. http://zythophile.wordpress.com/2007/09/06/pale-stout/ My guess is they used a buttload of oats and golden naked oats (which aren't actual oats, but actually a form of crystal malt) to give it such a big creamy body.
