Just bottled and sampled. Could definitely taste and smell apricot. I think it will be a winner, I will post a review after it conditions for 3 weeks but the sample was tasty. I ended up dry hopping some simcoe just for the hell of it too.

3lbs for the 5 gallon, you were spot on with your analysis. I think its gonna turn out very nicely

i ended up adding the apricot in the primary after fermentation was complete. it started up again and let sit for another week in primary. bottled yesterday and sampled. Had a hugh apricot flavor and aroma. I even dry hopped with 1oz of simcoe. Figured I'd go crazy with this one. Sample came out...

FYI, beer turned out not bad, definitely not my favorite, but definitely drinkable. A bit bitter but not too much. Lacked in body and had an overly citrus flavor due in part of too much amarillo hops.

Some copper ales and red ales have a slight copper taste to them that I enjoy. Does anyone know how to get this in a home brew?

I decided to do a little experiment and did an extract of 6#dme pilsner, 1# Belgium candi clear, some paradise seed and coliander, hopped with amarillo. 5gallon batch Its fermenting nicely as we speak. I was thinking of adding 3# of apricot puree towards the end of the primary stage(4-6 days...

nah I put in about 1 gallon in first in the fermenting bucket, then added wort which was about 3.5 gallons then topped off with .65 gallons, put the lid back on and rocked the hell out of it, so much so that there was prob a good two inches of foam, so i think its mixed in pretty well. the...

Thks for the help, I didn't stir it but I did shake the hell out of it so I'm pretty sure it was mixed well, but like you said, I think I didn't use enough water at the beginning.

I tried doing an all-grain recipe with 6lbs of red wheat, 1lb torrified wheat, and 5lbs of 2 row. I tried doing it in my 6 gallon pot, in a mesh bag. it was messy but I was able to keep the temp pretty close to 155 for an hour, I then sparged by taking 2 gallons of 168 degree water and poured...

I am new to brewing my own beer but have spent a lot of time looking over various methods and recipes. I am very adventurous by nature and decided to take from some recipes and make something my own. I decided to make a brown ale type beer with hopefully a little bit of brown sugar flavor and...
