    What's the best beverage to drink when smoking what meat?

    First homebrew. Nut Brown Ale (Updated B-View Finally)

    Thanks BDawg. Lots of good info. I used both liquid and dry so Im hoping that the SMM will be minimal. Its been fermenting for 5 days now at around 72-74 so it its on the higher end of the scale but Im thinking it should be fine.

    Pulled Beef

    I use chuckies when I make pulled beef for tacos. Usually smoke it then simmer it in some form of seasonings or red chili sauce.

    AMNTS Mesquite Smoked Black Beans

    Looks good. I have to say bbq black beans like this are probably my favorite type. Being from the SW I grew up on them more than regular bbq beans.

    First homebrew. Nut Brown Ale (Updated B-View Finally)

    Bittering hops were in the syrup. Finishing hops was pellets. This beer Im not expecting a lot of hops because I wanted something the wife would drink and if she hears IPA she knows she probably wont like it. Trying to ease her into it.

    First homebrew. Nut Brown Ale (Updated B-View Finally)

    I should have tasted it with what I pulled out for the gravity reading. I did smell everything really good except the malt syrup as I definatly wanted to smell the specialty grains and the fuggles hops (Im a hophead). Maybe next time Ill put the brew pot in the sink instead of the fermentor with...

    First homebrew. Nut Brown Ale (Updated B-View Finally)

    Yeah Im figuring there might be some esters. The thermometer on the side of the ale pail says its at about 74 so Im hoping that it might be minimized. Heading to a feed store this afternoon to see about getting a metal bucket/tub to sit it in. I had hoped to not need the wort chiller but after...

    First homebrew. Nut Brown Ale (Updated B-View Finally)

    Had hoped to have it done by the time my brother gets out here but that looks less and less likely since he just moved up his trip. Can a botteling bucke be used as a secondary fermentor? Otherwise this is getting bottled after two weeks in the primary. Looking like Im going to be getting a 6...

    First homebrew. Nut Brown Ale (Updated B-View Finally)

    Ok. I was going to bottle at one week because thats what it said so maybe now about a week and a half to two weeks and then about a week or two in the bottle sound about right? going to a feed store tom to look for a metal tub to put it in. This will work with a plastic ale pail?

    First homebrew. Nut Brown Ale (Updated B-View Finally)

    Ok this was my first home brew. Bought a kit from the local homebrew shop and it was an extract+specialty grains kit. Bit more than I expected when I bought it for my first time but i rose to the challenge. Steeped the grains for 25 min at 160 then brought it to a boil. Added the dry and liquid...

    Quick question pertaining to something I read.

    I plan to get one in a few months if all goes according to plan since I'm thinking of lagering when the weather is cooler here. The pails that came in my kit seem to have a pretty good amount of head room between the 5 gal mark and the lid. Just know Ill need to get a few more accessories to go...

    First Pork Butt (And A Few Questions)

    Looks pretty good from here. 1) Iv seen that usually if Iv foiled something and didnt unfoil it to let it crisp up. Not sure if ovr rubbing would do this because honestly I just through a healthy amount on usually. I have stopped foiling butts really as I dont tend to have an issue with dryness...

    Quick question pertaining to something I read.

    My first beer will be a brown ale. Going to make something the wife can enjoy as well because Im trying to get her into more types of beers. Going to start with probably either a kit for something close to a newcastle which I know she likes or one of the brown ale recipes from the book in the...

    Quick question pertaining to something I read.

    Ok thats what I thought was just confused by the books use of the word bucket constantly for open fermentator. Now Im happier as I dont need to spend another $20-$30 on a carboy right away.

    Quick question pertaining to something I read.

    Im readin the Complete Joy of Homebrewing 3rd edition and I have a question. Im getting a homebrew quit that has two ale pails and lids on both of them along with airlocks. I assumed this was a closed system because your sealing everything up but from what I read a bucket is an open...

    Biggest festival I've planned for, NEED planning advice

    I wouldnt go that far to one Item like bacon. It might go over ok but I dont know how well it would do with a random general public. I could see ABTs working good but timing them in batches could be a pain. Beans are pretty much a given but as for like a fattie Id think it would be hit or miss...

    Plan on smoking ABT's for the first time need some tips

    Looks like they turned out great. You can also mix in some of the seeds or hot sauce into the cream cheese. Iv thrown cayenne or chili powder in there as well.
