So, one of my friends has a charcoal smoker and we plan to smoke our own malt tomorrow to make a smoked porter (half and half apple/cherrywood). How much base malt should we smoke? I was thinking about half of it... is that ok? (4kg (8.82lb) or 36.4% of the grain bill) I want something really...

Hi guys, First of all, I'm not talking about wood aging with oak chips soaked in bourbon or wine or anything else, but about directly pouring spirits in. I've seen a couple of recipes (mostly porters and stouts) in which bourbon/whisky is added. I brewed an Irish coffee imperial stout...

Hi everyone, I brewed a flanders red ale (ag) and I ended up with an OG slightly higher than expected... 1.070 instead of the 1.057 I was aiming for (at 75% efficiency), yeap that's about 91% efficiency. Should I add some water to bring it where I expected it to be? I'm afraid that the...

Hi! I'm gonna cook some memphis-style ribs this week-end with a homemade Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce and sweet potato fries (oven baked) and I was wondering which vegetables I could serve with all this. We usually eat steamed brocoli with ribs but I'm getting tired of that, I want something new...

Hi! does anyone have color values for fruits (SRM/L)? thanks (it doesn't need to be exact, it's only for an estimation)

Ok, that's my first hop vine and I know nothing about hops gardening. I've been busy for a few weeks now and totally forgot about my hop vine (after harvest). It has started to dry and die, so do I have to cut it? I was thinking about cutting it ~1'' above the ground and bury it with...

Hi, I've read different things on some of the same malts and that confuse me. I'm working on a couple of recipes (all strong ales) and I'm looking for some specific flavors, particularly different kinds of fruitiness and maltiness from speciality malts. (how fruity/malty, how much...

I'm planning to brew an englsih barley wine during Christmas holiday. Does this look good to you? How do you think it will turn out?? I never used aromatic malt before, is this too much? Would it be better with dark British crystal malt instead of caramel 160L? Should I lower down the...

Hi, I saw other threads on this but it was not very complete at my taste. Usually, the temperature in my basement stays between 65 and 69 F (18-20 C) but today the temperature raised to 74F (23C), and I know it's not good (well, for a SA I mean) I made a starter for my Wyeast 1084 Irish ale...

I'm very interested in homebrewing, wich I've done once with extract. But now I want to experiment half and half and all-grain beer. So with friends we're going to split the costs and try various types of beers (poor students :D )... I've started to read John Palmer's e-book, How to Brew, and...
