Brewed this on New Years Day, racking it to secondary tonight. I soaked about a cup of oak chips in Knob Creek and I am going to transfer it on top of those. I will let you know how it tastes in another 2 months.

looking forward to your response, a friend and I are going to malt our own grains soon for a GF beer.

Ok. I will try and find what kind of grains they were. I steeped them at 160* for 30 mins. Thanks for the tip on the American yeast. The Columbus hops were 14% the centennial were about 7 and the cascade around 5. I also noticed that something, I'm guessing the extract, was charred to the...

Thanks for all the help. I am at work right now and don't have the recipe on me. I would say though it was about 3lbs of 2 row steeped for 30 mins. Then I added 7lbs of wet malt extract and brought to a boil. I added 2 ozs of Columbus hops and 3 oz centennial then at 30 mins added another oz of...

It tastes like a wheat beer. I'm not the best at picking out flavors but if you've ever had golden cap by new holland here in Michigan they taste about the same. I also had an ale from arbor brewing that seemed to taste the same.

I used 3 gallons of water and steeped the grains at 160 for 30 mins. Then I added the malt extract and brought to a boil. I then added the hops for the next 70 mins or so. Used a wort chiller and racked into primary just above 85 degrees. Added 2 more gallons of water, aerated it and took the...

I used a vial of white labs british ale yeast. I had a friend who has brewed successfully take the measurement. But I can say that drinking one of these packs more of a punch than a 2.7% beer

The OG was 1.031 and the FG 1.010. The primary was a 6gallon food grade bucket with airlock and the secondary was a 5 gallon glass carboy. I kept it in a dark room that stays around 69 degrees. It didnt start fermenting until about 36 hours.

I brewed an IPA on 10/31 with 7oz of hops in the 70minute boil and used another oz for dry hopping when I racked into secondary on 11/7. When I tasted it before bottling it seemed great. However, I bottled it 3 weeks ago and have been trying a beer every few days for the last week and everyone...
