I believe you mean all grain, which is a better way to go. I'm studying that too, and preparing to make equipment, but I want the experience of a couple of brews under my belt first. The cranberry, if nothing less, is going to be interesting. If it's even remotely tasty, I'll get your addy and send you a bottle or two if you are close and the shipping isn't ridiculous. As for scotch ales, I haven't had too many, but i've yet to find one that i like. any suggestions? I was thinking high grav imperial IPA this go around, and was reading up about "reiterated mashing" with all grain which looks pretty cool, this months "BYO magazine"

I like scotch ales because of the smokiness mostly. Sam Adams has a good one, but I've only seen it sold in the variety packs. Saranac's are also good but there not as hopped as the Sam's.
Sounds like a plan, how do you fell about Nut Browns?

Nut Browns are tasty, but I'll admit that the Sam Adam's Scotch Ale is, at least at the moment, the worst beer I've ever tasted.  Didn't even taste like beer to me.:shrug:  You're right though, it came in the variety pack.

Gobblin,
Have you transfered the ale into a glass fermenter yet? Have you noticed any white spots on top of the beer? Do you notice what looks like sediment on the top edge of the beer in the fermenter when you tilt it?

I just had a coffee stout of mine ruined by air-borne bacteria/mold once I transfered it to my secondary fermenter. There was about a gallons worth of sediment on the bottom of my primary and there was no way for me to have salvaged all that waisted beer. Thinking nothing of the HUGE amount of air in my secondary since I added additional yeast nutrients and energizer to the beer while I was siphoning it into the secondary. About 16 hours later I noticed some white dots forming on the top of the beer. A few hours later they grew more.
I'm looking at my secondary right now and all I see is about $55 worth of ingredients gone to waste. Bummer.
No more big beers for me for a while.

Whats a good spring ale?

I didn't transfer to a secondary, I just bottled after two weeks. It looked relatively clean and tasted good as well. Two more weeks of conditioning, cant wait!
