  1. So, im currently on vacation at what has become a regular destination... and I stopped in my fav local microbrewery to get my growler refilled... And lo and behold, this time they have a "Jolly Roger Black IPA" as and offering. Its good, a bit higher on the IBU scale than I tend to prefer, but the dark toasting malts does a pretty great job balancing it out. If you enjoy microbreweries, and in or near coastal south Georgia, this place is worth the visit, whether they have a themed named offering or not (they usually dont).

    Ale and beer

    Which is the difference? As a non native English speaker, the dictionary gives to both the same word. If you look an English-French dictionary (which I did), again, "biere" is the equivalent. So... I have the impression English people differentiate them. How?
  3. In the republic of pirates Woodard states that: ”..Royal Navy rations gave each man a half pint of rum and a gallon of beer every day..” What about water? Did they drink water, or was the beer of such low alcohol strength that it served as the common drink aboard? In that case, how did they provide those quantities, were they able to brew beer along the way?
  4. Quiet here as of late, so do tell...what do you have brewing? I've just finished the first batch of something I am tentatively referring to as a Black Pilsner, it is currently bubbling away quite happily and I look forward to seeing how it turns out. I've bottled a second round of an old world heavy ale. Chief on the grain bill was cherrywood smoked malt.... I'm quite proud of this recipe so far. In the keg is a cream ale. I'll confess I don't like it at all, but everyone else with access to the fridge finds it delightful. Also in the fridge, though in bottles, is a bourbon smoked porter. The one has become my old standby and something I enjoy having around. There's a dry cider too, which I'm uncertain about. Thus far all cider attempts have only produced cider vinegar. Wonderful for cooking, not at all what I've been trying to do... I'll wait a few more weeks to sample a bottle of this batch...

  6. I'm doing some research on brewing my own beer. My father used to do it years ago and with the completion of my bar I think it's about time I stock it with my own beer. My eventual goal is to make my own rum but I figured I'd start with something smaller, in this case beer. Try my hand at that and then move onto the liqueurs. So what advice do you have for a first time brewer? Any tips or tricks I should try to make the process smoother and the product better? Thanks for your help Capn Antonio Malasses
  7. Two new labels for a new batch I'm getting ready to bottle.
  8. I have been trying for some time to find information on what beer bottles would be like in our period, some say they didn't exist at all, but there is evidence to the contrary. Here is some more evidence I found on a site. Scum is a publication for the Brewers Guilds of the Kingdom of the East and the Principality of AEthelmearc, of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. So I present this article in support of Period beer in bottles, titled: The True Bottling of Beer http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/scum/bottle.html Text dates for the exercpts include 1609, 1615, & 1691. Now to find a proper bottle ;-)
  9. Any worth recommending? Just finished some Sierra Nevada's Celebration Ale. Dying to get a sixer of Anchor Steam's Winter brew.
  10. Post up your top 5 favorite beers. Feel free to edit your post as time goes by and add or subtract names. Lets try to keep the discussion down in this thread and mostly just have it full of lists. I'll start.... 1. New Belgium's Fat Tire 2. Sierra Nevada Torpedo IPA 3. Green Flash Brewing Co's West Coast IPA 4. North Coast's Old Stock Ale 5. Rogue's Dead Guy Ale (6. Guinness . . . )
  11. Story at Irish Central "A fire broke out at the Guinness factory in Dublin shortly after noon local time. Over nine fire brigades and three rigs with aerial ladder platforms were able to contain the blaze before it spread to the ammonia plant at the site. An official from Guinness was able to confirm that no one was hurt in the incident. “There were no injuries to any personnel and the fire has been extinguished,” the spokeswoman said. “An internal investigation is under way to find out exactly what the cause of the accident was.” The fire broke out near the Victoria Quay entry to the factory, and locals in the area are being advised to keep their windows closed due to the amount of smoke in the air. The blaze is believed to have started when felt on a roof that was being repaired by workmen caught on fire" By KENNETH HAYNES, IrishCentral.com Staff Writer This is the REAL NEWS! "Whew! -- Guinness says production not damaged by fire Good news on the Guinness front. The brewery is now reassuring their customers that production of Guinness was not hampered by the fire in Dublin today at their headquarters --whew! Interesting that is the second line on their press release after they stated how the fire happened. It shows you the priority of how people are thinking I guess. My goodness - no Guinness--now that would be a catastrophe." by Niall O'Dowd, Niall, IrishCentral's publisher, is a believer and expert in all things Irish and Irish-American.
  12. Okay, I'm trying this again. If it doesn't work this time, Michael is going throw up his hands in despair. LOL Pew, my friend, I thought you would enjoy this. Took these while Chain Shot and I were in Newport, OR for the weekend. The Source: Rogue Brewery My truck is the white Tundra with the little pyrate stickers in the back window. Kegs, waiting for delivery You never know when you're going to have to make an emergency delivery of Dead Guy Ale to someone out on the water. LOL Main entrance. Ya gotta love a Beerquarium! LOL

    Wow!

  14. Just buzzing through Woodall's The surgions mate and I came across this interesting quote on the causes of Tenesmus (which I would describe in layman's terms as a really serious case of constipation.) "And sometimes it [Tenesmus] happeneth here in our Countrie, as some English Writers affirme, by little drinking of beere or ale, and sometimes it commeth by drinking too much wine, and by eating of costive meats, and superabundance of choler adust." [Choler is another name for the humor yellow bile - believed to cause anger and bad temper.] (Woodall, p. 242) Wine was generally considered inferior to beer during period from what I've read. So he's giving you all a reason to drink more beer. (As if you needed one. )
  15. Found the below quote while researching something else... Didn't think the practice of substituting sugar (or sugar like substances) for barley malt went back that far. Link to original citation Bold added by me.
  16. Thought you guys might get a laugh out of this. It was sent to me by a friend in England. If you had purchased $1000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you will have $0.00 today. But---- if you had purchased $1000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received $214.00. Based on the above, the best current investment plan is to drink heavily and recycle. It's called the 401-Keg.
  17. Just picked up Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers, The Secrets of Ancient Fermentation by Stephen Harrod Buhner I haven't tried any of the recipes yet but there are several from the 17th and 18th century. This one caught my attention since it is not only period but is also a treatment for scurvy... how appropriate! Dock Ale- 1694 Ingredients: 4 gallons water 4 pounds malt extract 3 handfuls new pine or fir, spring growth 3 handfuls scurvy grass or horseradish, above ground plant 4 ounces sharp-pointed or yellow dock root, dried and ground peels of 4 oranges yeast "Provide four Gallons of Small Ale; instead of Hops, boyl in it three Handfuls of the Tops of Pines, or Firr; after it has done working in the Vessel, put into a Canvas-bag three Handfuls of Scurvy-grass, four Ounces of the Root of Sharp-pointed Dock prepar'd, and the Peels of four Oranges; hang the bag in the Vessel, with something to sink the Bag: After it has stood a Week, and is clear, drink of it for your ordinary Drink. This is frequently used for the Scurvy, and is an excellent Diet-drink."
  18. the group I am with runs a pub at the local ren-faire...its not for patrons, just a spot to do our pirate fights, gambling and showing off... Any clue as to brewing equipment of the period?
  19. Here's the recipe: Boil for 45 minutes: 1.4lb Alexander Sun Country Pale Malt Extract 1.5oz Syrian Aurora hops (7%AA) Boil for 15 minutes more: 4lb Alexander Sun Country Pale Malt Extract 4lb Alexander's Sun Country Wheat Malt extract 1lb clear Belgian candi sugar 8oz Malto Dextrin powder 1 oz Styrian Golding hops 2tsp yeast nutrient 1tsp Irish moss At the end of the boil: 1.5oz Strisselspalt hops Yeast: Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes or Safale T-58 Prime with 0.75 dry cup measure (or 5oz by weight) dextrose The recipe comes from Tom Peters, the owner of Monk's cafe in Philly. This beer ages very well. Set some aside for next Christmas.
  20. This past weekend I went to help Nick out with his first batch of "mini-mashed" ale. He's brewed a few times before using kits, but this was his first attempt at bringing it up a notch. We had gone out a week or two ago to shop for all the ingredients, so it was just a case of mashing (steeping) the few whole grains in the recipe, and then boiling the rest of the ingredients. He used the "Pirate Nut Brown Ale" recipe from the below book as his base, but reduced the amount of malt extract used to balance out the addition of three pounds of a really nice dark rich and flavourful honey. Anyways, the recipe was actually chosen because it looked like the best nut brown ale recipe in that book, and not for the name... But the name is a nice bonus. This should be ready for drinking in about 3 weeks or so, I'll definately share my thoughts on it if Nick doesn;t come around to speak for himself. Cheers.
  21. Hey Mickey, with all your extensive brewing experience, have you tried to make a PC recipe for beer? I do realize that our hops our more refined now then back then but it still would be cool.
  22. So maybe we're not all rum drinkers. How about a simple DIY beer review guide for those flavors you favor most. So what beer are you drinking now and what's your opinion of it? We just finished a 6'er of Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. Goode, but pales in comparison to Anchor Steam's Christmas Ale. I feel, the best of the holiday seasonals so far. A friend gave us a bottle of Sam Adams Chocolate Bock for Christmas. Can't wait to break open it tonight....
  23. Was wondering if anyone here has ever tried their hand at making their own alcohol { ETOH}? our plum tree is seriously overloaded this year, and in an attempt to use the fruit without waste, i have decided and am currently brewing some home made plum wine......small scale-- got a near gallon going... i am not afraid of the chemistry... LOL..because basically yeast grows and redoubles itself every twenty minutes.... yeast eats sugar and pees out alcohol-- when all the sugar is consumed, the yeast, from swimming in its own waste, dies and you are left with alcohol-- the more sugar you feed it, the richer in alcohol content you have !!-- if yah bottle it wihtout the sugar being entirely used, you have a beverage that *sparkles*.... and i know i have alot more to learn.... kind of funny that we drink the pee of a yeast....and it is tasty{well, some more than others} so anyone got expereince? anyone have favorite recipes? anyone ever tried mead? { brewing of honey} i would like to know what your experiences have been... any recommendations...and funny stories... pax, lady constance
  24. Hey folks...just spotted a bottle of Piraat Ale at a local BevMo store this weekend....still have to try it. http://www.globalbeer.com/web/body_pages/p...aat/Piraat.html
