Just a question, I know a Wee Heavy is suppose to be very malty but just for fun can you dry hop with some spicy hops, like hallertau? maybe like 0.5 oz? I might be going off the deep end on this one, I only breason I bring it up cause I just brewed a Wee Heavy and becasue I put in in my frig...

Well last weekend I took my family camping and let my Wee Heavy Scotch ale sit in my brew room at 70 deg. Well the AC went out that while we were gone. When we got back on sunday the house was 90 deg. The Wee Heavy was pretty much done fermenting when we left. So I freaked and suck the fermenter...

I have been wanting to brew a lager or bock beer for some time now. I got me a frige that gets down into the 40s. I have brewed lots of ales, but my question is how do I go about getting the wort cooled down to a point were I can pitch the yeast. I have a chiller, but I live in arizona were the...

Sounds Good to me, I love Nugget hops! I just brewed a nugget IPA and it is mighty tasty! Let us know how it turns out! :tank:

Got a crazy Idea, I have heard of DFH's Imperial Pilsner. I got about 4 oz of Spalt and 2 oz of Pheonix hops for free, just wanted to get some ideas for a IPA or should I do a SMASH beer? Would these two hops go well with each other? What would be a cool recipe? Thanks for the help yall!

Hey! Its the same guy, diffrent name. I thought that the honey would leave a nice taste to this beer, Is the Dry malt carapils? I know this stuff is going to be like rocket fuel but could I dump in 3 lbs of LDME in hopes that it will add some body and maltyness, not to mention that the ABV will...

I made a Honey Rye Blonde, in which I used 2oz spalter for 60min in the boil and columbus for 15 mins. The spalter left a nice spicy taste while the clean columbus added a wonderful aroma. I also added 1.5lbs of honey to the primary and after that fermented out I dryed hopped it with the...

Eddcculus, thanks for the help and complement, Lawnmower beer huh? I dont think I have heard of that style. Does that mean you could run a lawnmower with this beer:drunk: So how about this, I add the 4 oz of maltodexrin with say 2 oz of lactose at bottleing...should I carb with DME instead of...

Thanks for the help., I will try the maltodexrin and some lactose, should I heat it up in some water and dump it in or just dump it in and stir it up? Thanks!

I just racked my honey rye ale into my botteling bucket and noticed it was cloudy, like a wheat beer. Is that normal? I used 10# 2-row, 2# rye, 1/2#carapils and I put 1.5#s of honey into the primary. Just wonder, it smells great, I just wasnt sure if a rye beer is cloudy, thanks !

Yeah I ment to say I wanted to use the columbus for the bittering hop. I also just got some nugget, fuggles and some perles. I like this perles, nice minty piny smell..the nugget is really grassy or herbal-strong. Any suggestions will help. Thanks! :tank:
