Has anyone else brewed a saison and thought, "Wow. How does the yeast do it?" I bottled a batch of saison on Monday and drank the half bottle I ended up with at the end. And I just can't believe a bunch of yeast can produce that sort of flavor and aroma. I've had saisons before, so I know how...

Howdy folks. I debuted my first PMB* batch of beer - a Northern English Brown - on Saturday at my brother's college graduation party and it was a huge success! I was really excited that folks not only liked it, but called out different flavors that I was going for without having been told...

Is there a consensus on whether it makes sense to brew an extract saison? I know it's tough to get the wort as fermentable as is ideal for this style with extract, since you can't mash long and low. But I've done some digging on here and a few people have said you can add some sugar or honey...

Howdy friends, Saturday is bottling day. Very exciting. But this is both my first five gallon batch and my first batch where I have a hydrometer... I have a Northern English Brown going and it's been sitting there for three weeks. Do I need to take measurements on three consecutive days...

Hi folks. So my brewing equipment is set to arrive today (I've been using Mr. Beer) and I was hoping for some feedback on a recipe for my first 5-gallon batch. I wanted to brew a brown ale, but didn't come across a recipe that was quite what I was looking for, so I thought I'd just buy some...

Greetings, folks. I'm Tom from New York. Nice to meet y'all. My brother got me a Mr. Beer kit years ago for Christmas. I used it, bought a second Mr. Beer keg (for some reason), made quite a few batches with 'em, including some that my friends and I thought were pretty damn good, all things...
