Well that why I wanted to skip to the end and see how papazians book ended.....becase it seems like that book should have been a pamphlet...... Oh, i've never liked measuring yeast.......i'm a bit lazy that way........and i'm afraid its going to go flat......

I was trying to find out a beer that I had tried........it was an oatmeal stout........and people were suggesting the best way to try beer...... I have odd tastes so i think i'm going to try a scaled down version and try more kinds in a gallon size......... I know this thread is quite...

No, I think you really misunderstand my complaint.....I just didn't want to make something that tastes bad.....I don't mind using a whole pack, I just wanted to get a flavor for what I like without negative results or a result that can't be duplicated.......I have measuring spoons but I would...

Well I buy packets now.......I buy Ale in the summer and i'm going to buy lauger in the winter but isn't 11g of yeast for 2-4 pints of wort overkill? It would seem like it to me if you use the same amount for 5 gallons.......5 Gallons is almost 19 pints (18.2 I think).......

I would go that route but I have too much DME & corn sugar left. Plus that I would like to cut the loads down but I don't know of a gram scale for the yeast.....But I haven't looked......

I think the www.thegrape.net is a bit cheaper......But i'll bookmark that.........

I'm finding its more of a skill then an art or science......that was one misconception I had.......

Really I only like shooting but thats not possible right now....Personally I cook but that doesn't mean that I like it.....But to lean on the little womans domestic skills consists of going to McDonald's......And I was raised around a grandma that cooked everything herself so its absolutely...

when I was going from Parpazian book I was referring to that stupid list. There are no instruction in it.......He splits recipes up and spoon feeds you information......Frankly I find it confusing and frustrating as hell... I haven't brewed for a year because my ambitions were too great.....I...

Problem is i'm a late night brewer......and drinker.....

I was thing of that to try sake, cider or mead.....

I've found a recipe.....I just posted this because I was trying to fid out the name because I couldn't remember........amount......4 gallons work better for me........I don't know what others do but they wor best in the corey kegs....... I agree that experience is a good teacher......I...

I would agree with that......I just have a problem with my memory....I'm good at processes and not good at facts.........I'll remember doing a beer but forget the ingredients......

Come to find out what i was looking for was an oatmeal stout. I think what I am most attracted to is the chocolate malt because a beer I just did has many of the same properties that I wanted. Frankly I'm sick of reading because thats all I've done...I spend 90% of time just reading on the...

Hi, I'm looking for a recipe but I don't know what I'm looking for. Its an all grain stout that has a chocolate roasted flavor to it. Arcadia calls it a starboard ale but its a stronger SA then the cream stout with a roasted flavor...... Any Ideas what I'm looking for? I need to start...
