I've never really come up with a recipe on my own... Just want some opinions on this before I try it, to see if I need to adjust hop schedule or anything. Type: All Grain Batch Size: 5.50 gal Boil Size: 7.57 gal Boil Time: 60 min 13 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 92.9 % 1 lbs...

I will be doing my first full BIAB tomorrow, starting with Northern Brewer's Irish Draught Ale. I plan on using something similar to Deathbrewer's method, using two pots. One for mashing, one for sparge/boil. The instructions call for a 154 degree mash, followed with a 170 degree mashout. This...

I tried this beer last week, and I absolutely love it. I would love to take a stab at an extract version of this. Being lower in alcohol and pretty light bodied and on the thin side, I'm sure the grain/extract side of things is fairly simple. However, I can find no information for a hop schedule...

Hey all. I just wanted to throw this recipe to see what you all think. I don't have any of the software to see how dark this will turn out or IBU's. 6 lb Light DME 2 oz. Chocolate Malt 2 oz. Special B 8 oz. 80L 2 oz. Roasted Barley 1 oz. Hallertau (60) 1 oz. Fuggles (15) Nottingham...

I would like to try my hand at an extract imperial IPA, but I am seriously worried about equipment limitations. When gathering all of my initial equipment, I made the mistake of buying an undersized brew kettle (4 gal) mostly because of the ridiculous cost of stainless steel kettles. I have a...

Hey all. I had O'Dell's Myrcenary this past weekend, and it was simply life-changing. Amazing beer. I'm looking to see if anyone has come up with an extract version of something that has a similar hop profile. I've searched the site, and haven't come up with anything that is an extract recipe...

Just finished my first bottling session. Took about 2.5 hours from start to complete clean up. I can now see why people jump to keg systems! I believe things went pretty well. Everything was dowsed in Star San at least a few times. I don't have a bottle tree, so just drowned my bottles in...

So after having the beer in the primary for 8 days, I took my first FG reading. It read out a bit above 1.015, and that seems about right for my Brewer's Best APA Extract brew. Of course I tasted the sample. Flat and bitter, as can be expected. It was warm going down, so at least I know there is...

Since everyone seems to make a post of this nature, I will follow suit. Just finished up my first batch. American Pale Ale Extract Kit from Brewer's Best. It's sitting in the primary now. I decided to pitch the Nottingham yeast dry into the bucket, just to keep it simple for this first brew...

So I ordered my first equipment kit, a Basic Brewer's Best kit. This is supposed to come with a bottling bucket, obviously. However, it appears it has arrived with two primary fermenting buckets. Neither bucket has a hole in them. Should I try to drill this hole out, or should I sit tight to see...

Hey all, I just ordered my equipment a couple of hours ago. I've been contemplating getting into home brewing for a while, so I've done some reading. Going to be making an American Pale Ale from an extract kit for my first batch. I'm hoping it all comes by Thursday or so, so I can get this going...
