    What style do you brew most?

    So glad to see this; same here! I love saisons in the spring/summer, then I move over to bocks/stouts for the fall and winter months. I love the versatility of the saisons. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Does your LHBS acknowledge your custom?

    If you live in GA - Brewmasters warehouse is about 5 minutes away from me, and I love it! They have a great site with a 'brew builder' app, loads of pre-saved recipes from other brewers and helpful, friendly staff. (One of?) the owner is on this forum, and his signature has a 20% off code +...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

    The vodka soak draws a lot of heat out of the seeds, and a good amount of the pepper/smokey flavor. It allows you to control it easier. For me, I did about 5 peppers de-seeded into the boil. 2 more soaked in vodka - seeds and all - to the secondary. I only added the vodka and it got me right...

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

    I wish I would have made 1 gallon of it without the tincture, just to compare. I feel like it added just a touch of heat and an enormous amount of flavor, and the ones in the boil might not have done anything excepts add haze. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

    I used 5 in the boil and didn't add them to primary. At the end i made a tincture with 2 added at bottling and most of the flavor/aroma came from the last two I would not skip this part, it is very easy Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Vintners Harvest Fruit Purée

    I'm a beer brewer, but interested in this thread... The purée/fresh berries will ferment out until the yeast gives up... Somewhere around 9-15% depending on the yeast. Potassium sorbate doesn't work as well without potassium meta bisulfite if you are trying to stop the fermentation. My...

    Raspberry Cream Ale

    How did this turn out? I have a saison that I want to add 5lbs frozen raspberry to and I wonder how it might turn out. I want some sourness so how do you think 5 vs 3 might taste? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Noob looking into brewing first cider

    It is more difficult to get a sweet and carbonated cider, but there are methods. I prefer a dry, highly carbonated cider. Some people add juice to their glasses to sweeten Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

    I only used 1oz of cluster, .75@60 .25@15. I would not change my version because I liked it so much, but I would say mt hood just because it is more 'American' kinda but not really :) Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Types of juice for cider

    I like a dry cider, so I use red star Montrachet. I have heard Nottingham is a popular beer yeast to use, which might make it sweeter if you add enough sugar. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

    Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Jalapeno Cream Ale

    This is amazing! I had a cream ale partial mash kit I used, 1 oz of cluster at 60 min. 4 jalapeños de-seeded and roasted at 15 min boil 2 jalapeños roasted and soaked in vodka for a day, strained, add just the vodka, a little at a time (at kegging), I ended up adding all of the vodka. Sweet...

    What's up with the IPA fad?

    I think the problem is with people thinking craft beer = IPA It makes the selection of great styles are limited to what people will buy. I love Belgians, Saisons, Wild ales and other styles more difficult to find. IPAs are definitely here to stay and a Classic American beer, but good doesn't...
