Posted in thread: Heading to Hell...AKA Yuma, AZ on 02-09-2012 at 06:00 PM
So I just moved to Hell as well (Yuma Az) and I am planning on starting to brew in the winter
season since the heat is so ridiculous here. I am looking for anyone brewing in this area to
meet up with ...

Probably a bit late for the OP, but homemade toffee/caramel is an easy way to get the flavor
you're looking for. For simplicity, about 2 cup table sugar and 2-3 tbsp water, boiled until
the sugar melt...

Gratuitous welcomes abound.

Keep in mind that after it's done fermenting the sugars, you'll still pull some peach flavor
from the fruit if you use real peached. If you use extract, you probably aren't gaining much by
letting it ...

Recipe stolen, and shall be brewed this weekend. Thank you.

If you add to primary, there's a good chance of getting a massive explosion. If you add to
