My parents have volunteered my services at their friends wedding at the end of may....I'll be cooking (brisket and pulled pork) as well as making a beer or two for this wedding. We decided to do the american wheat that I have been making for a few years, based on Widmer's Hef, but I want to...

I use Homebrew Dad's yeast starter calculator, and always overbuild my starter and save the excess yeast for future brews. I do this, rather than harvesting the yeast from the fermentor because it is much easier for me to do. If I maintain the yeast, build the starter at 1.035-37, and keep it...

I've been kicking around brewing up a Session IPA for some time, and with summer right around the corner, I can't beat the timing. It's kind of my take on the Pliny the Toddler I've seen on here, and a another site, but with Simcoe and Citra. I'm a huge fan of Knee Deep's Simtra, but wish I...

Has anyone seen the commercials for the Budweiser American Ale? I am a little embarrassed to say I am excited to try it. What do you guys think?

This might be a stupid question, and feel free to call me out on it. Would it be possible to make a unfiltered wheat beer that is darker in color and hoppy like a good pale ale like SNPA? I was drinking some pyramid amber wiezen the other day and was really hoping that it would have that...
