Home Brewers!
I just got a home brew kit for my birthday and I'm really excited. I just wanted to open a discussion for all you home brewers out there so we can swap stories and tips.

I just got my kit yesterday so I'm still trying to figure it all out. I'd love to see photos of the process if anyone has some to post.

I just brewed my second batch and it came out great. We call it Inkling's ale because it is an attempt at a replica of the beer the CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien would have been served at the Eagle and Child Pub.
The recipe is here:

Wow Bryan I didn't know you were a home brewer!
This dry hopped pale ale that I did a few weeks ago, is going to be on my standard rotation. I love it! It cleared and conditioned in the bottle quickly, and it just tastes great! Very hoppy aroma, and citrusy flavor and feel, very drinkable.
I'm sort of at a stand still right now, not sure what to do for my next batch. I've got a hard apple cider that I need to get into bottles -It's similar to Strong bow.
Inkling's Ale sound like a winner! I'd love to try some.

I've to the ingredients to do a peach wheat, it's sort of an end of summer brew. It's a pretty standard wheat extract brew with some peach puree that it ferments on so it gets that peach hit. I'm trying to dig up a recipe for kona's pipeline porter if anyone has a good clone.
What are we doing?
