I recently made an american wheat based off of the Sam Adams Summer Ale and added about two ounces of blackberry extract as it went into the keg. I was hoping for something similar to Long Trail's Blackberry Wheat, but at first tasting the blackberry flavor is completely overwhelming... Is...

I've got a real thinker going on over here. Circumstances would suggest I just screwed up, but memories and notes (even photos!) suggest I didn't. On 10/12 I brewed a Stout. I didn't have the space in my MLT or kettle for the amount of grain I used and therefore I ended up really slacking on...

My typical source for lbs of whole leaf hops doesn't carry any Goldings, anyone know where I can find a pound of East Kent for a reasonable price??

I'm geaering up to make a big Imperial Stout for Christmas but it's looking like it will be too big! My recipe calls for just shy of 20# of grain and I have a 10 gal rubbermaid MLT and an 8 gal kettle. There's no way they're going to be able to handle the recommended amounts of strike and...

HELP!! I've just gotten all set up, cleaned, etc. to rack my porter from carboy to keg and realized that I'm out of sanitizer!! I'd rather not put everything away and wait until tomorrow and I probably won't have a chance to get to the LHBS today, so what's the best option from the grocery...

Trying to come up with an AG Chocolate Porter recipe for this winter. I'd like something not too bitter and certainly not too sweet but with a noticeable chocolatey finish, if that makes sense... Here's what I've come up with, what do you think?? OG: 1.061 FG: 1.015 IBU: 48 ABV...

I've been making an Imperial IPA for quite some time now, as it is the beer I prefer the most. My recipe is a work in progress and has been evolving with every batch. I'm thinking I'd like to try one with some carared in it, both for the color and the sweetness... although not too much...

OK, so I have searched extensively... read many many pages about various sparge manifolds, and had very bad luck with the couple of SS Braid variations that I've tried. I'd like to upgrade to a copper manifold that will fit in my round 10g cooler but don't have the time or equipment to bend and...

Hi all, Last year I entered my first HB competition at the Topsfield Fair in Topsfield MA with a Brown Ale and an IPA and was thrilled to bring home a red ribbon for my IPA. I'm trying to find more to enter this year and have discovered that the Topsfield Fair event doesn't appear to be...

I'm considering buying a pound of some all-purpose bittering hops to keep in the freezer and use an ounce or two here and there for most of my brews. I've mostly used either Nugget, Magnum, or Northern Brewer in the past. Are there any +'s or -'s about any of them that would make them more or...

I'm trying to put together a clone of the new Harpoon 100 Barrel Series "Single Hop ESB" According to the Harpoon website here It uses the new "Delta" hop exclusively. But I can't find any mention of it on the Hopsteiner website. Aside from that the information given is that the OG is 1.060...

I'm about to embark on my first attempt at a lager, and the guys at my LHS suggested I make a starter. It is my first attempt at that too, and I have to admit that I changed things a little from what I was told. I'm afraid this may be my problem... Rather than use DME, which I thought I had...

I made an Imperial IPA a couple months ago, and it has been in the keg for about 3 weeks now. I have been noticing a progressively increasing amount of sediment (yellowish, I assume yeast) in the beers I pour which settles slowly into the bottom of my glass as I'm drinking it. This is...

I finally have the fridge space that I need to try a lager, and am eager to give it a go! I'm going to do a bock of some sort, and have been reading a lot about the process but I'm still a little confused about something. I tried searching, but to no avail. I can't seem to get a straight...

I'd like to brew up a quick easy pale ale. Something that would fit the following criteria: Quick turnaround: 3 weeks or less from brewing to drinking. The faster the better Light and easy drinking, yet still noticeable big(ish) hop flavor. Cheap, although must be extract or extract...

I've been using Beer Alchemy and Designing Great Beers to try and come up with an IIPA recipe. I like my IPA's light in color, and high in hop flavor and aroma. I decided to use Magnum as a bittering hop, and go with the theme of 100... calling the beer Magnum 100. ( In know that makes my...
