I have been dabbling in home brewing beer a bit over the last year, when free-time allows.
Out of curiosity - does anyone else here home brew?

A friend of mine does, and I've helped him a couple of times.Bureaucrats wrote:I have been dabbling in home brewing beer a bit over the last year, when free-time allows.

Another group of friends and myself will regularly (like 2-3 times a year) brew a couple beers at a local brewpub called the Brew Kettle near Cleveland that has a set up where you go in and pick a stock recipe from their beer list (though you can tweak it if you want) and they walk you through the process while you brew the beer yourself.
What beers have you had success with?

Re: Home brewing
It's been years since I did and I reall need to do it again. There's a Party Pig (http://www.partypig.beer/) in the basement that's never been used. #toomanyhobbies :)
Are you brewing from grains or using extracts?

Re: Home brewing
I've actually only just started - I made a batch of dry-hopped Pale Ale that was pretty good but also almost gone.
Currently I have an experimental stout fermenting in the basement - a little nervous to see how it turns out.
I've only done extract so far (though I did steep some adjunct grains for the stout). Figure I'll eventually give all-grain a go at some point.

Re: Home brewing
Yeah my friend did an all grain recently and he was very happy with the result. I'm partial to stouts, good luck with yours turning out well!Bureaucrats wrote:I've actually only just started - I made a batch of dry-hopped Pale Ale that was pretty good but also almost gone.
