Was just at the LHBS thinking about a basic scotch type ale, and spotted Briess' Cherry Wood Smoked Malt. Hadn't noticed this before so now I've got 10#'s of Maris Otter and .5#'s of the Cherry Smoked. I have 1oz of each of these at home: Saaz Mt. Hood Northern Brewer Citra Cascade I...

Brewed a Red Ale that came out pretty good but somehow I overcarbed it, made me think of Miller High Life. Anyone have a good recipe for something with high carbonation?

I was wondering this to myself while driving to work the other day, and since I don't exactly have the equipment capabilities to see it through, I thought I'd throw it to you guys. So how dark can you get using only Pilsner Malt, and what type of malt profile would you get from heaps and...

Not sure how many folks here drink Narragansett, but if you don't, you should give it a try if it's in your area. Anyway! According to the Narragansett website, which seems to list all the ingredients for their beers, the Summer Ale only features 2-Row Pale Malt, and Citra Hops. Is it likely...

Trying to find for general knowledge reasons and out of curiosity as many brewers as I can that actually list the ingredients of their beers on their websites. I currently know of three: Sierra Nevada Samuel Adams Narragansett Beer Anyone know any others?? I find this info fascinating...

My stinking cat knocked the airlock of my carboy in the middle of the night. On third day of primary. What are the odds you guys think that this becomes a problem. Don't blame the cat, live in small NYC apartment, this was bound to happen haha

Hey Everyone, I am a moderately experienced brewer with a few succesful all-grain batches under my belt. Anyway, for x-mas some friends got me: 1 can Mr. Beer hopped Red Ale Extract (19.5 ounces) 1 can Mr. Beer unhopped Golden Wheat Extract (19.5 ounces) 1 can Mr. Beer Oregon Fruits...

Trying to get a GF pumpkin brew going but have some questions. I actually was able to malt a pound of buckwheat, so am happy about that, but not sure if it is able to convert itself or anything else at all. See below for my recipe, which is a one gallon batch because I'm not all that confident...

I have a brew coming up that contains much and more adjuncts than is probably smart, and I don't exactly trust my mashing procedure in terms of efficiency that much, so I was thinking of throwing some enzymes in my mash as an insurance policy. Anyway, I saw on here somewhere a guy adding "papaya...

Anyone else been struck by the urge whilst carefully measuring out a grain bill to just throw in a scoop of every single malt available at the LHBS and let it rip? I can scoop about a quarter of a pound of malt pretty acurately with the little scoop they provide, so a scoop of everything would...

I know this is probably sacrilege, but I was trying a GF beer the other day made solely from sorghum and it had a definet sourish note to it. I also remember reading that Guinness uses a small percent of soured beer to get their distinct flavor, and that the process can be kind of a pain. Was...

I have seen pumpkin recipes on here with all manner of hops included. Magnum, Hallertaur, Northern Brewer, Goldings, Mount Hood, Fuggle, Liberty, Saaz, Horizon, the list goes on! Anyone have a definitive opinion on what is best?

Let me preface this by saying that I am very new to homebrewing, but that my beers have been coming along, and in order to keep SWMBO on board, I will be dabbling quite a lot in the fruit department. Also, at the moment I am entirely an extract/steeped grain brewer, and also brew 2-3 gallon...

If you are trying to use fruit in your brew, this seems like the perfect ready to go stuff. It is already puree'd and surely pasturized to high heaven. Plus, there is plenty of organic selection as well as many interesting fruit combinations if that's what your looking for. It's also...

Am very new to brewing, and have limited space (am currently only brewing 1 gallon batches) and access to ingredients. That said, SWMBO would really like some banana brew, so I thought I would give something really basic a whirl: 1# Briess Bavarian Wheat DME 1# 20L Crystal Malt steeped .5...

So I just bottled my first batch! My question is; is there any visual evidence of the carbonation process? I used some clear bottles as my beer is stored in utter darkness, so I was just wondering if there is something I should be looking for over the next week or two that will tell me all is...
