Hey gang. Found Yooper recipe for the Lakefront Ipa clone-ish. For those not from Milwaukee its a very fruity, citrus-y IPA. I've never done a beer with a non-liquid (Wyeast) yeast. What Wyeast strand would I be looking for for this beer. I was thinking 1028 London Ale - but not sure. Thanks...

I've come across 16 oz of pure fresh WI maple syrup from La Crosse. I've got 2 ideas of recipes to include. The regular Nut Brown ale recipe from NB, or the Honey Brown recipe from Northern Brewer (with or without the honey). First which kit do you think would be better, and second when shoud I...

Hey gang. Found Yooper recipe for the Lakefront Ipa clone-ish. Need peoples nelp on converting this to a reasonable extract or partial mash recipe. If peole could help me out that would be great. I will be doing a full 5 gallon boil so I would keep the same hop additions correct? No access...

So I'm making a CDA and the recipe calls for 1 oz centennial dry hop. I've got pellet hops for the Centennial. I've also got about .75 home grown Cascades that I'm going to put in. Last time I did pellet hops I just dumped them in and ended up with not so good results as I don't filter and...

Hey gang, I was wondering if my hops are still good. I planted a first year cascade rhisome this year and it yealded about .75 oz. Since i didn't have a vaccum sealer and I wasn't going to buy one for less than an ounce of hops I Just threw them in a ziplock bag and put them in the freezer. I...

Hey gang, I'm brewing this CDA from brewing tv an it didn't come with a instruction sheet. I've had it in primary for about 4 days now, and just realized that it didn't really come in a time frame. Also it needs dry hopping with centennial and I'm not sure how lond to dry hop it for. Here is...
