• BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?

    I've never seen it boiled in this type of addition, just added. I believe the assumption is the dextrose is sanitized in it's bagged form. Adam probably has more experience with this one though...

    Homebrewers - Whats Fermenting?

    So for anyone wanting to try a pretty big stout, the great guys at Jester King GAVE me their recipe to Black Metal Imperial Stout. This is the original version of BM. They recently switched to a lower ABV farmhouse version (I have that too if anyone wants). Adam, this is different than the...

    DPG With a Green Band?

    I had one that looked virtually identical. I'd have to find my pics and figure out who it came from. But they told me the same...it's a blue with age and the store that had them was near a window.

    The 2012 BOTL™ Chicagoland HERF :: June 23rd

    Ouch...That's gonna hurt. Staying in the loop isn't ideal unless you can hitch a ride with someone. But I know you have others coming along. A cab is likely going to cost you $40-$50 on that distance from the Loop to the suburbs. There's the Metra train option that's significantly...

    Amazing Homebrew setup

    That's really cool! And like Adam said, adjusting water is not difficult if you start with 0 RO/DI water and know what your targets are. tons of calculators on line can help you know how much of x, y, and z add. The challenge comes in when one additive changes multiple variables, like...

    Saturday Special Smoke for Don

    I just had a moment where my heart skipped a beat and I had to sit back and take a deep breath. I was just on FB and my "Recommended friends" list updated off to the side. I guess I just call this a cyber "Hey there" from our buddy.
