Ok, so there is pretty good info on how to make something close to Tremens, but barley anything on Nocturnum. From the info I found, here is what I am planning. If anyone has any further info or suggestions on trying to recreate something similar. 5.5 GAL OG 1.085 FG 1.013 12lb Belgian...

I LOVE German Beers. So I decided to post a thread where we can share our favorite German Beer recipes. I'm always looking around on other threads and websites searching for the perfect beer, hopefully I can help others who are searching for the same. Festbier (a bit high OG for Munich...

I'm on a lager kick right now. I just started and now of course I just can't stop. :D Anyone have any idea where to start on a similar beer? Not necessarily a clone, but something in the neighborhood? Info I have is: IBU 26 ABV 5.8% No info on any grains on the website. What I'm...

When you lager do your temps have to be 50+- degrees or are temps closer to 48ish due to the temp that will be created by the yeast? I know with ale yeasts they can get rather warm from the fermentation, is lager yeast similar or are you at a low enough temp that the yeasties don't get so hot...

Hey guys. I've been brewing for quite some time and I got my first infection. It was in a plastic bucket. Possibly from the gasket or the rubber stopepr I used. Do you think if I oxiclean soak and then bleach it that I can still use it? Or should I cut my losses and ditch that sucker...

Hey guys! Quick question, is it common for oak to cause a bit of bubbling (not obvious fermentation bubbling, but just...bubbles)? I added 1.5 oz of oak soaked in bourbon and now there are quite a few big bubbles on the top. I'm not one to be quick to think its an infection, but just curious...

Looking to make my first 100% Brett beer. I love Wild Devil and am thinking about making something in the same realm, not a clone by any means. So far the idea I had was: 7lbs 6oz Belgian Pilsner 1.5lb Flaked Wheat 6oz Special B Possibly Acid Malt, never used it but read it helps with...

OK so I tried this beer last night and was blown away how refreshing and tasty this beer is. Could be the best beer for summer. I figure I gotta try to brew something similar so I'll have it ready for my SWMBO's birthday in August. Anyone have any ideas??? Hints I have: "It is the third...

So I know there are tons of these, but I'm hoping to find out if my recipe I'm working on is at least decent. I never made anything even close to this ABV. I'm only making a gallon as a test batch for a friends birthday. So not TOO worried. Anyhow I'll get to posting it. Vienna - 3lb...

I know they go in the secondary, but I was wondering if I brewed a Dry Stout with a OG of 1.045 how long does it need in the primary before I can put her in the secondary with some tart cherries? I am hoping this is ready by St. Paddy's but I only brewed it a week ago. :drunk:

Hey guys. I'm getting ready to hit the LHBS before this weekend's brew! Just wondering how this sounds for my first recipe attempt at a brown ale. I don't usually make brown ales and my last was extract so I'm a bit flying blind. Belgian Pilsner 8lbs Crystal 60L 1lb Flaked Oats 1lb...

So I got this app yesterday and its awesome! The only glitch I can find is, How do you delete an ingredient or a recipe?? I can only seem to add things and its hard to manage a recipe with a bunch of clutter because I had trigger finger. WTF. Please, someone??? :confused::(

So this weekend I was visiting my parents. I decided that I needed to bring over some nice beers (they usually drink nice wine) for a change of pace. First brew cracked was Wild Devil. Oh man! What a great beer!! To my surprise and dismay my mom LOVED it! Honestly I was just going to...

So I just bought Czech Saaz & Fuggles hops from Hops Direct! I'm super excited to be finally buying in bulk! :rockin: One question. I had totally forgotten the fact my friend wanted a Heff or similar in a near future batch. Do you think that Saaz would work in a Wheat beer? I had only...

I recently lost a dear friend of mine and decided that I need to brew a beer in memory of her. She was big into jagermeister. Gross, I know. Anyway I want to design a recipe that could share notes of the taste of jager in it in hopes to open it a year or two from now, maybe as long as 5...

Just about to rack my Cream Ale in to the secondary...any ideas what I should brew to reuse that cake for??? I was thinking something a bit different, but what style would benefit from cream ale yeast, other than the obvious. I was thinking perhaps a stout, but that might be a stretch. Any...

So I recently dove into AG brewing! I got a 62qt Coleman extreme. Now the only issue I've run across is that I am doing 5G batches for now...and my tun is nearly 15G. I stepped it up thinking that I might go to 10G once I master the AG thing. What would you suggest to take up air space so...

I've had a raspberry mead going for about a month and half now. It smells pretty damn tasty. I've read a lot of threads that include tea in them. I didn't put any tea in my current batch (however I did use lemon). Is it something I can add to the secondary or would it be better to just leave...

I've been interested in sour beers as of late. I just brewed a simple one gallon Smash recipe (German Vienna & cascade hops) and pitched some safale s-04. I was wondering if it would taste good if I added some sour yeast or even just pitched the dregs of an old saison after a few days of...

I am currently brewing a London Pub Ale (similar to Fullers) So when I pitched the yeast I was doing way too may things and I realized immediately I had pitched the yeast at way hotter than I wanted. After reading a few threads and doing some internet research I decided to ride it out a few...
