Useless Brewing replied to Ray Grace's discussion 'Aleumination Batch #3'
I like Ray's idea, since the only requirement for this is a Wheat grain addition. It could fall into any of these styles: [quote Ray Grace]all-American wheat, a wit , a hefeweizen, or a highly-hopped brett-fermented saison.[/quote] I think everyone…

Useless Brewing replied to Ray Grace's discussion 'Aleumination Batch #3'
I'm OK with setting a base recipe if you like, or even just suggesting malts or base grains like Wheat are included. But everything else (Spices, yeast, or Gravity) would be brewers choice or blind if you will. For those that would like help, we can…

There are a couple good local Texas breweries. One of which is in San Antonio (No its not Pabst, I said Good, right!) . Here are my favorite Texas Beer's #1 Rahr Brewery, Buffalo Butt (Fort Worth, TX) Limited availability, but worth it if you can f…

You nailed it Ray. There are as many ways to brew as there are brewers! If you just want to throw it in, Go for it! I actually put 2# of Candi Sugar in mine, witch upped the gravity quite a bit (1.8%). You can see how I did this here http://aleumin…

Resurrecting a dead post. Useless Brewing Inoculator Batch #2 is ready to ship. Who wants some? I had a glass last night and I'm my worst critic, so I would rather have your opinion. Cheers Preston

Useless Brewing replied to Ray Grace's discussion 'Aleumination Batch #3'
I'm in, Tho I'm still conditioning the ESB (#2). Will post on the #2 page for that tho. I like both ideas, and have recipes for both. If we go with the Saison, it may limit some because of possible Brett infections in later batches. Cleanliness is…

Mine is in the secondary, and should be kegged this week for conditioning. Batch #3? Sounds good, I'm in. Cheers Preston

Useless Brewing replied to Shawn, the Beer Philosopher's discussion 'The Tasting of "the Indoctrinator" - Follow-up thread'
I still have a 6er, I guess I should spare a few bottles for judging. The plan is to make this one again, it has been a hit with everyone that has tried it. Cant wait for the Inoculator! Cheers Preston

Useless Brewing replied to Rob DeNunzio's discussion 'Aleumination Batch #2 - What is it?'
Its in the primary. The OG came in at a whopping 1.074... That's a brew-house efficiency of 84.54%. Woop! A new record for me. I measured the final running's and they were at 1.013. I'm looking forward to to this one. Did anyone add any extras to t…

Looks like Ray is the first out of the box on this one. I also brewed this weekend, but it was a Wee heavy for a competition in July. I don't have any primary's free right now so I will probably brew in about two weeks. Cheers Preston

Beer of the Month Clubs (BOMC)

I have a friend/co-worker who trades me Craft Beers for HB. (IMHO he gets the better deal). I went to my local Spec's liquor store in search for a Saranac Octoberfest that he had traded me. It was no where to be found. I asked if they had ever carried Saranac, of course the guy was clueless. So back to the friend/co-worker to find out where he received this tasty beer. He then proceeded to tell me that his wife gave him a Beer of the Month Club Membership. and he receives a twelve-pack every mon… Continue
