I am also getting very good reviews for an Apricot Wheat from sanctimonia. The recipe is here: http://sanctimonia.hubpages.com/hub/Beer-Recipe-Apricot-Wheat Notes: 1) I used 3 Lbs of Apricot puree, and 4 oz of apricot extract (the recipe is kind of hazy on the amounts) 2) this...

I have gotten rave reviews on Smylies Honey Blonde that msmylie posted. Everyone from my beer snob son to my "I like mine light" daughter and everyone in between loves this stuff. They even got excited when I said I was brewing it again. The recipe is here (I think, never tried a linkback...

My LHBS says that you use less dry extract by weight than liquid because, well, you don't have the liquid in with the malt. So if you used the exact amounts from the recipe using dry malt, your O.G. might be higher, though 1.08 *is* a lot higher than I might expect considering you are only...

...ummm, "everyone who *tried* it..." No one was able to *tie* it...:-)

Will probably be brewing this again within the next month or so. Everyone who tied it last year is excited for it again. I might have to brew twice as much!! Thanks again, Mark

Where your recipe says "Added during mash" does it really mean that these are being steeped? It looks like it because of all the extract and the the small quantities of stuff being "added during the mash". Also - what do mean, exactly, when you say the honey is "steeped after boil". I am...

Do you have a name for this beer? I will be brewing it again, and "Honey Blonde Ale" is rather non-specific and unimaginative...:-)

By the way, I put it in a 15 minutes just like the recipe specified, and the beer cam out great.

Admittedly, a couple of bottles in at this point, so spelling errors will hopefully be ignored....:-) I took a few bottles with me to a local concert and let a few people try them. The response was overwhelmingly positive (except from the one IPA fanatic that said he couldn't taste...

Thanks for the recipe! It looked interesting, and I wanted to brew one more summer style while the weather is warm and the days are long. I put it in the fermenter last night (O.G. was about 1.045 - right in your range). I noticed the wort was really cloudy and full of some kind of...

I hope I don't have a problem. I used the 1/3 cup of LME to 3 cups of water recommendation. Boiled 10 minutes, cooled to 70 degrees. Then checked the specific gravity. Unless I read it wrong, It was around 1.060. Does this mean I am screwed on this batch?

I am guessing you mean Vic's Boathouse in the Victoria Station Restaurant?

Can't find Vic's boat side on google maps. Do you have an address?
