My first attempt at cloning as I can't seem to find anyone else's recipe. I'm sure I'm way off, but I thought I'd start somewhere and see what improvements and suggestions others can make. I plan to keep trying this until I get something close to the real thing or even better. It will take a...

I posted this in the Bottling/Kegging forum but haven't even had many views, so apologies for double posting, but I think I may at least get more views here if not an answer. I can't seem to find any old threads where anyone has done this, although I'm sure it has to have been done. I wanted...

I can't seem to find any old threads where anyone has done this, although I'm sure it has to have been done. I wanted to add a "spicy fig" hint to my winter warmer but missed the boat on getting fresh figs. I found some fig juice and now I'm thinking I could use the juice to create a spice tea...

So I posted this in the Recipes/Ingredients forum, but I only got one response, so I'm asking here and rephrasing, so please tell me what you think. Is this partial mash grain bill going to give me any troubles with conversion if there's less 2-row than other malts? I got the grain bill from a...

I may not try this on my first PM, but will this work using PM (I'll be following DeathBrewer's stovetop method)? Is there enough 2-row? I think it is probably about the limit (according to DeathBrewer's method). I got the grain bill from a brewer based on his recipe and scaled it way down to 5...

OK, so this was an experimental beer to begin with, as I was using "left overs" for the most part. I tried to make a malty scotch ale type beer with light DME, some specialty grains, and just enough Magnum hops at 60min to give it 20something IBUs (yeast = WLP007). Basically, I aimed for a 2.5...

So I have some leftover specialty grains and hops for various reasons and think I might have a "wee heavy" type beer on my hands, but this would only be my 4th batch, so what will I have if I make this? Is there something I should add to make it better or just go with this and see what happens...

For my third batch ever (all extract), I was planning to do a Two-Hearted Ale clone; however, today while drinking a Two-Hearted, I started to wonder about making a dark ipa version (Dark Hearted Ale!) instead of a straightforward clone. This would be the first time I've ever veered off into...

So my first 5gal batch (a Sierra Nevada Pale clone) has been in primary for two weeks and my FG has been the same (right below target) for 3 days. I was planning to bottle it all tomorrow; however, I was given an ounce of whole leaf Centennial and was wondering if I could bottle half of the...
