Hey everyone, I kinda threw this recipe together with some extra grains I have laying around. I am going for a CDA-type-ish beer. This is a 5 gallon batch. 1.060 OG 1.015 FG 51 SRM 64.6 IBU 6 ABV 8oz Caraffa 3 8oz Simpsons Black 8oz Chocolate 8oz Simpsons Dark Crystal 6 lbs...

Does anyone know a good 3 gallon Apfelwein recipe?

Just tried my first "from scratch" recipe that I designed, a Porter. Wow. After a week of bottle conditioning at about 70-75 it is about 80 percent carbed and tastes great. Has a mouthfeel of Guinness/Young's Double Chocolate Stout with a strong chocolate taste followed by roasted coffee then...

Hey everyone. I am still kinda new to the designing recipe game but I was using BeerCalc. and Ray Daniels book Designing Great Beers to come up with this English Bitter-Hybrid recipe. Let me know what you think! 7.0 lbs Muntons Light Dry Malt Extract 12 oz Simpsons medium crystal...

I know that it is time to bottle in most cases whenever you have a constant gravity. I brewed two beers one on the 16th and one on the 17th. Their OG's were 1.057 and 1.053. When I transferred to secondary on the 26th the 1.057 was at 1.020 and the 1.053 was at 1.011. Today I checked the...

I was wondering how long easy clean lasts? I was going to make a gallon or two solution and then cover it with a lid and keep it in a home depot bucket. Anyone have any experience?

I used a Northern Brewer kit last night and forgot to take the gravity :(. This morning it is fermenting really actively (lots of krausen and bubbling blow off system). Should I assume the OG that I got with the kit?

I am looking for some advice on using yeast bellow optimal temperatures. I recently bought a kit using Wyeast 3725 which has an optimal temp of 70-84. I had no idea that the optimal temps would be that high - if I would have I would not have bought it. Nevertheless I am stuck with this kit...

Question regarding Wyeast 3725 and using it in a Biere de Garde kit. My rooms ambient temp is about 66 degrees currently and this yeast says it ferments optimally at 70-84 which to me seems super high. Has anyone had any experience with this yeast, or perhaps could offer some suggestions on my...

Hello all, I was wondering what temperature and for how long a beer should be fermenting at. I am going to brew a beer that has a yeast range of 70-84 and the room that I am fermenting in is around 66 degrees. How could I get the beer warmer during fermentation? How long should that...

Hey everyone. So I have a dunkelweizen in secondary right now and about a day ago these little white bubble clumps appeared on the top of the beer. I have never seen this before so I am wondering if this is ok. Here is a link to the pictures I took...

Hey everyone I have a porter and dunkelweizen fermenting right now but have some extra specialty grains I would like to use for my upcoming extract batch. I haven't decided what recipe to construct using some or all of these left over grains so I was hoping you could give me some suggestions...

Check out the Krausen I have in my Dunkelweizen. I made a starter for Wyeast 3068 and after about 9 hours of lag time it just exploded to look like this! http://www.flickr.com/photos/beermeister/5365764777/ :mug:

This was about 9 hours after pitching a Wyeast 3068 starter for my Dunkelweizen! lol [IMG="http://www.flickr.com/photos/beermeister/5365764777/"]

I am making a yeast starter using a wyeast smack pack...Does anyone know how long I should allow the smack pack to sit before I pitch it into my starter?

Hey everyone, I am pretty sure I made these recipes assuming a 5 gallon boil when I am going to do a 2.5 gallon boil then top off the fermenter to 5 gallons with cold water. I know, I know it was a careless mistake but I am brewing soon, have all the ingredients and am kinda freaking out . I...
