This has been wonderful thread. The thoughts expressed demonstrate the wisdom and caring attitude of the folks who have made the Beer Borg the great thing that it is. The community is the same, we just have a new home now. I hope that Louie is right about getting new traffic from Brew Demon and othe...

Had a Belgian Dubble based on Mr Beer's recipe and then a Wee Heavy also based on their recipe. The two have identical grain bills with 1 can of Bewitched Amber and 1 lb of amber DME. The Dubbel used T-58 yeast and I did a 15 minute boil with Saaz hops. The Wee Heavy used S-04 and no additional hops...

I feel both sad and angry. Sad that a great forum that helped so many of us get started is gone, or at least worthless. I still continue to use Mr Beer extracts as a base for my own recipes, and would be happy to share that information with new brewer or anyone who is interested. However, with the f...

Tabasco, great to see you here!

I will try to go to the New Brewers page to try to help the newbees there. With all the experts over here I think they will miss out on all the help we had starting out.

Started with a Wicked Red IPA, based on Diablo with amber DME and extra hops. Then I just finished a Wee Heavy.

it is basically the same recipe but I thought I would re-post for those who had not seen it there. Thinking about trying Mosaic hops the next time.

Bottling my Seasonal Biere de Saison tomorrow. I have a Belgian Dubble ready to drink tomorrow so I may drink that while bottling the Saison

For whatever reasons they have, Mr Beer has now royally pissed me off. I posted a respectful open letter to Mr Beer about the issues with the new forum yesterday, and they didn't even have the courtesy to acknowledge or answer it. Even if they fix it now I may not go back, especially since Louie has...

Glad to see you here, Dave. Now we just need to lure yankeedag over.

It is great to see all the familiar folks on a forum that actually works!!

Anybody been in contact with the Nong or the Hat? It would really be more like home with them here

2 cans Wild Spirit IPA
1 lb amber DME

S-05 yeast

This is one of my all time favorite IPA's

To Louie, This forum works better than the pre "upgrade" Mr Beer site. Great job. Unless they do a major fix there I think we may be better off here. I checked out Homebrewwtalk but was a bit overwhelmed. This seems more like home. Also we can talk about Brewdemon here without getting cens...

Hi guys,

I really hope they fix the forum, but after a week it doesn't look good. Thanks to Louie for setting up this one.
