I don't know if anyone is still on this post but I'm really hoping to make a clone of the rogue juniper pale ale. Any suggestions on a recipe?

Boil 30G cascade for 40 min with apa, 500G dme & 500G dextrose. Then add 15G or so of amarillo, boil additional 10 min. Cool and continue the kit as usual. Suggestion; to make any kit beer better use a quality yeast. In this beer I would use Nottingham dry ale yeast

Word for the wiser, if you want to improve a Coopers kit use a quality yeast instead of the stuff from the kit. It makes a world of difference

I know this isn't really relevant to the topic but, If you're doing a Coopers kit (or any other kit) try using a quality yeast and making a big starter. It makes a world of difference. I just did a Coopers ale with Nottingham ale yeast. Yeast starter the day before using 1.5c of water and 1/3c...

I'm fairly new to brewing, about one year in, and I'm looking to trade with someone. I send you 4 bottles and you send me 4, kinda thing. Basically I would like to try something new and if I really like it, try to brew your recipe. Also it would be nice to hear HONEST opinions of my brew...

Thank you, probably that the grains were not milled fine enough, the bag was pretty loose during steeping Sent from my SGH-I757M using Home Brew mobile app

Hoping for some advice. I just designed my first all gain and used a brew calculator. It said the og should be about 1.054 but after steeping for 70 min and slowly straining (5 gallons in 30 min) my o.g.only hit 1.031 why is this happening? Could it be that I don't have a proper mash tun...

One month ago I filled the bath tub with snow then cold water and dropped the pot in there. It worked awesome. Using a snow bank didn't work as well add you may think. You're better off just putting it outside then the bank due to insulating effects of snow. Ever been in an igloo, it kinda...

There seems to be a little miss understanding. My bad, sorry. The reading was taken from a sample from the siphon house before it reached the bottle bucket with the added dme as I was transferring it. My goal fg is 1.007. I elected to put it all back into the carboy and ferment out the added...

A bit of a newb here. I am transferring into my bottling bucket and I have already added my 3/4 cup of dme boiled in 2 cups of water and cooled to 19°c then I started transferring my beer from the carboy into the bucket as well. Half way through transferring I took a sample for the hydrometer...
