    Dave's Carmel Apple Cider

    IMO there is no difference in taste between corn sugar and table sugar. I even use table sugar for bottling. Only thing is that if a recipe calls for corn sugar and you want to use table sugar.. use about 10% less. https://www.northernbrewer.com/pages/priming-sugar-calculator

    Bourbon County Stout clone attempt

    Hey thanks for posting this. I looked on their website and they had the exact same ingredients posted in the same order. Planning on brewing something similar next weekend. The only thing I was going to do is to add 0.5 lbs of dark brown sugar.

    Bourbon County Stout clone attempt

    I'm thinking of brewing this up in a couple of weeks. I've noticed however that a lot of people are ending up at a FG of 1.040. Isn't that a little too high? Should it be closer to 1.030?

    Revolution Eugene Porter Clone

    So I'm still going back and forth a bit on whether or not to brew this. I emailed Revolution with my recipe to see if they could tell me if I was in the ball park or not and they never got back to me. What I might do is try a few one gallon batches of this out and do it that way. But I really...

    Revolution Eugene Porter Clone

    drink1121 do you have an update on this? I was planning on doing a porter next week and was deciding between trying to clone Revolution or doing an Edmund Fitzgerald.

    Cold-Brewed Coffee - A Reduction?

    I made a coffee brown ale a couple months ago. I cold steeped 12oz of coffee in 36 oz of water for 24 hours. I sparged the grains with about 16 oz of water and ran everything through some coffee filters. I then put it in a pot .. got the coffee just up to boiling, turned off the stove, added...

    I'm bumping this thread because I am planning on brewing this up in a couple weeks. Has anyone else tried to brew this?

    Extract Dunkelweizen Recipe

    My 2 cents.. DarK DME is the same as Munich. It contains stuff like Black Patent malt, etc. Also, I would skip the Chocolate malt.. it will give way too roasty of a flavor for the style. I just brewed up a Dunkelweissen last week using Jamils recipe. Do a partial mash.. something...

    Kölsch

    My 2 cents, just to echo what others have said, don't use the Munich. I did a fantastic Kolsch before and I only used Light DME. This is a really simple beer as far as ingredients go. If I were you, I'd just to straight Pilsner.
