Thanks for the reply. You should brew this too. Unfortunately, I won't be able to brew this until 2 weeks into October. I'm going with your hop suggestion. 6 tsp cinnamon, 4 tsp ginger, 1 tsp nutmeg, 1 tsp cloves sounds good. Should be able to taste the spices without over powering the...

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking, what if I was to use 6.6 pounds of a light or pale liquid malt extract, then use 2 pounds of a plain dark dry malt extract. That should still give me a black beer with 1 1/2 pounds of chocolate grains, and 1 pound of carmel 40L grains, while the overall beer...

I'm planning on brewing a recipe that I'm currently researching for Christmas. I'm going to be buying the majority of my supplies locally, which may or may not limit my options. For this ale, all that I know that I want to use so far is Briess Chocolate malt grains in which I already have 1...

I'm working on a recipe for a Colonial style porter, the goal is to brew a modern day beer with Colonial era characteristics. My question is about specialty grains. I'll be using 9 pounds of Maillards Maris Otter malt extract syrup, 1 pound of pregelatinized flaked corn, blackstrip molasses, and...

Thanks for the information, I was going to post the same thing, but you beat me to it. Beer's during the Colonial era, are said by those into historical brewing, to not only contain hops, but to be very hoppy beers, like IPA's. One wonder's if this was done as a preferred taste, or to preserve...

Nope, I'm brewing this more so to see what a beer might have tasted like back then, but I guess one could use this for a reenactment, it would be reliving history if you could get it down perfect. I do remember reading in my research so far, that the cluster hops, were the first hops grown in...

I've been reading on Colonial style beer recipes, in preparation of brewing an extract based, Colonial style ale that's a close representation of what a Colonial ale might have tasted like in those day's. Here's the recipe that I have so far: 8 lbs Pale Malt Extract 4 lbs Wheat Malt Extract...

Just tried a second bottle of my Cooper's Irish Stout, this one is even better then the first.

Cooper's Irish Stout - Brewed on 4-8-2010

I'm new to home brewing too, just brewed my second, 5 gallon batch which is a ale. I've had my fair share of mistakes, all the way back to when i used Mr. Beer, but i haven't had one come out that i couldn't drink. I made a mistake tonight, i didn't monitor the temps like i should have and the...

I use One Step no rinse, i always rinse with everything regardless.

Thanks. I was going to order mine online, but if Home Depot has them, that saves me money on shipping.

Are forefathers, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin all brewed beer in their home's. Brewing beer in your home is America's past time.

5 Gallons Copper's Irish Stout 5 Gallons Capone's (My Recipe) Total 10 Gallons

Thanks for the replies. I'm using a 5 gallon brew kettle, if i do a 2 gallon kit that's pre-hopped, no problem although it still takes awhile. But a full 60 minute boil, it just takes to long so i think the propane burner is what i need. I'll look into screens to keep bugs out.
