Yep, it matters. An additional 9 IBU would swing the flavor profile over to slightly hoppy. Not exactly what this style is shooting for. Try not using some your hops. Brewing a 5gal batch? Go with .75 oz instead of the full 1 oz at 60 min to keep the IBUs lower. Pro tip: use software when...

Naw, just hoped to avoid an extra run to the store. <lazy alert> Ah well -from what I'm reading about this recipe, it'll be worth it!

Could I use 100% lime juice instead of 1/2 oz of lime zest? If so, how much lime juice is recommended? No zester, no limes, and eager to make this. Thanks!

Thanks for the recipe, I'm looking forward to giving it a go. I'd like to add maple flavor, either with syrup or maple extract. I've seen some people put 8-12oz of Grade B syrup in at flame-out for their maple nut browns. Others suggest using it as priming sugar during bottling to retain more...

Just introduced to it last week. Amazing! +1 for recipe request.

Ah - righto! Looks like you can use whatever beer you want to make it as dark or light as you like. Here's some popular recipes on the internets: http://www.gimmesomeoven.com/honey-beer-bread/ http://www.food.com/recipe/beer-bread-73440 (also referenced above)...

2576 + 5 = 2581 Heading to LHBS to brew 5 more!

Google told me that 1oz of sugar is roughly 28grams: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_many_grams_in_1_ounce_of_sugar So, I'm looking for 4 x 28 or 112grams. TreeTop's website reports 26g/serving in the 12 oz can of concentrate: http://www.treetop.com/ProductDetail.aspx?CategoryID=1&ProductID=192...

Thanks! I'll probably do both. With cold crashing, what's a good temp? Say, 50F or so? How do I do a mini mash? Equal amount of any pale malt with the wheat? Just steep like usual? Love to try that next time.

Looks great, can't wait to try! If you had to pick a yeast because you didn't have some already, any advice? Also, instead of vanilla beans, how much vanilla extract would you put in? Or, why not use extract? Cheers

Although I haven't gotten through all 100+ pages in this amazing thread, I see many people prime with 4oz of sugar. Anyone use apple concentrate? Using just less than 1 can will get the equivalent of 4oz of sugar. Thoughts? I should be ready to bottle in a few days. Thanks!

I added 6oz of torrified wheat for head retention in a honey blonde (currently fermenting in primary). I now just read that for extract brewers, torrified wheat may produce cloudy beer due to starches suspended or something.. Evidently, I'm better off using carapils in the future...

Right. so, I found this. Do I need to raise the temp to, say, 65F or so in between the primary and secondary fermentation? If so, guidance as to how long? Thanks!
