This is all excellent info, and helps a great deal in knowing what I do like to drink. Thank you! The West Coast Ales sound very good so Im on the way to Amazon to find the book but posted a recipe below to see if that is close. I picked up a copy of the "Joys of Homebrewing" this weekend...

Hi NordeastBrewer77, Your question of what ABVs I like to drink leaves me struggling for an answer. I never really paid attention to that and only read somewhere that sugars added to a recipe may bring up the ABV, to which someone else responded it would make the beer more bitter. That...

and of course thank you for the info...

So the tablets Im using are basically just for the carbonating process more so the ABV?

Ive read here a few times about how people modify recipes to control the ABV. Im not looking to make moonshine, just trying to understand the process since it seems to be a much more bitter brew when its higher in the ABV. So far I have been using extract kits. Its interesting when I read...

Thanks! I am going to check into this one!

Flying Dog Raging B!tch Belgian Style India Pale Ale. Its not often I can appreciate a brew but THIS is right up my alley. It was two dollars more than the "special brews" at my distributor, but I have to say, its worth it to me. Is there a recipe for this anywhere? Ive searched but...

Thanks for the quick response DrummerBoySeth! Im ordering now! It seems spot on for what I want. Bill, Im going to check on that. Im so new to this but you guys are a tremendous help and I appreciate it. The hydrometer is still a puzzle to me, so I need to get a handle on it. I...

I have a 2 gal Brita filter and a 3 gal plastic water bottle I got from KMart for about 30 bucks. I plan ahead and run all my top off water thru that and cool it in the fridge prior to using since I dont have a wort cooler yet. Im only two brews old, lol, but I have not had any complaints on...

Greetings all, Im looking forward to my third brewing. Ive been reading and contemplating, biting my nails, sweating it out, and at the end of the day, I cracked a bottle of my second batch of Irish Red and realized I am limited to what resources I have, and that is that its a warmer time of...

Greetings to all, Im out of Avenel, New Jersey, work in NYC and have only recently found myself indulging in the joys of homebrewing. I am not sure what I have been doing for the last 46 years but I can tell you the next 46 will include a well rounded schedule of beer brewing. At this...
