I fixed the link so that it points to the correct website now. I used 6 lbs of malt extract instead of 5, 1 ounce each of the listed hops and dry-hopped with an additional ounce of Columbus. The result was an 8% pale ale/ipa with a wonderful fragrant nose and a very unique sweetness. It was...

I haven't attempted it yet, but the white chocolate pale ale turned out great. The white chocolate definitely contributed some sweetness that is different from what you normally get with just malt. I also primed it with creme de cacao and that didn't seem to have any adverse affects. I think...

Early in my brewing adventures I decided to flex my creative muscle and see what I could do with a true-brew american wheat kit. I decided to try my hand at a fruit beer and added about 2lbs of pureed raspberries to the secondary and an extra ounce of cascade that I had laying around about 1/2...

I was wondering what affects different adjuncts such as Lyle's Golden Syrup, brown sugar, corn syrup, etc., have on a batch of homebrew. I have a porter in the primary right now to which I added an extra ounce of amarillo hops I had lying around and decided to beef it up a little by adding a...

I'm relatively new to homebrewing, but I've decided to brew a pumpkin beer in time for fall. It's in the primary right now. What I did was add 73oz(about 4.5 lbs, 2x 29oz cans plus 1x 15oz can) of canned pumpkin to a True Brew brown ale kit. I used the thunderstruck recipe as a guide, adding...
