would love to have one of these please

Thanks Cheesefood, it seemed to me to be a decent variation on your fine recipe...I will let you know

Hey all, I want to brew up a batch of Carmel Cream Ale this weekend and the recipe I have calls for a German Ale yeast, but all I have left currently is a Belgium Witbier Yeast. I have to order all of my supplies from the internet so I wonder what effect this different yeast might have on...

I'm new here, but couldn't you achieve the same type of alcohol content increase through the use of Candi Sugar? I have made some at home and got a higher ABV and it didn't seem to effect the beer flavor at all.

ever since I started using Irish Moss, mine has been crystal clear!

Hey All, My daughter just informed me that her favorite beer of all time is Lindeman's Belgium Framboise...of course, I've never heard of it, but I said that I knew experts that could probably find me a clone recipe. So what do you think? All I know is what I'm reading on the empty bottle...

I know this has been asked, but if I can't fine light wheat DME, how much will using just wheat DME (65%wheat,35%barley)? Really looking forward to trying this one!

So, do I use the whole bottle and what do I have to do before I add it to the wort? Thanks by the way!

Hey all, I keep hearing about yeast cakes...I assume you do something with the dregs on the bottom of the primary and that they can be used somehow....could someone elaborate? I seem to always have alot and I'm thrifty (my wife calls it cheap) and I hate to waste anything. :)

How do you do your process for making sugar? ...been wanting to experiment with various primers

Thanks All!

Hey All, Another quickie question. When priming before bottling, all I have used is 5 oz of corn sugar. Here is my question, what else can be used, what makes the beer better and how do you determine how much to use? I know in baking, chef's will use corn syrup instead of dextrose (in the...

Closest LHBS here is 2 hours away...and it is cheaper to have it shipped in from half way across the country!
