Hey everyone! So I've been neglecting my brewing lately, but I finally ordered a kit from Northern Brewer (smash kit). But instead of using the given hops, I wanted to try out El Dorado and Glacier together. I am familiar with Glacier after using it in the Surly Bitter Brewer recipe, and I love...

So I have a basic recipe formulated but I'm not sure if I want to use a combination of the Carafa III and some chocolate malt, or just one or the other. I haven't made many darker beers so here is my proposed grain bill: 9# Marris Otter 1# Caramal/Crystal 60L 13.5 oz Carared 4 oz...

So I was able to find some Nelson Sauvin pellets that weren't way over priced compared to others and decided to try lagering for the first time! Used: 10lb Bohemian Pils malt 1lb Crystal 10l 1oz Nelson Sauvin @ 60 .5oz Nelson Sauvin @20 .5oz Nelson Sauvin @10 Did a single infusion...

I've made one all grain kit so far that turned out amazing, but know I have no idea what I want to make next! Please help!

Last night I completed my first attempt at an all grain with my dads help (he's been doing all grain for years). I can see why a lot of brewers end up progressing to this stage of brewing because I found it to be much more involved! We did a pretty low gravity Northern Brewer Pro Series...

Once upon a time i happened to look into my neighbors back yard. I saw their back fence covered with hop vines. I promptly asked permission to pick said hops and found out I only had access to half the full crop, the other half growing in the yard over. I picked for probably 1 1/2 hours and had...

A friend of mine out of LA drew up this design and I went in yesterday and had it done after 3 1/2 hours of work!

So I recently read and interesting article on Glacier Brewhouse up in Alaska and they had an interesting style of beer posted. They made an imperial blonde ale that was single hopped with centennial. I was curious about making something similar! I already ordered some supplies from one of my...

Hey everyone, Just wanted to see what you guys thought of this recipe that I crafted myself. Just made it today so we'll see how it turns out. If you need any more info just let me know. 1lb Melanoidin Malt (steeped 30 minutes) 6lb Golden Malt extract (60) 1oz Summit (60) 3.15lb Golden...

So I was just wondering if anyone could help me formulate an extract recipe that would create a nice copper colored ipa. I have all of the hops lined out that I want to use, summit for bittering, and a mix of cascade and legacy for aroma. Could anyone point me in the right direction for a good...

So I recently brewed a AHS Honey Wheat kit that is very much a classical wheat beer using Wyest American Wheat 1010 yeast. I recently have purchased a pound of Legacy hops from hopsdirect. These hops aren't very well known so I am anxious to try them out! Would it be so bad if I wanted to...

So I bought a NB basic starter kit and the Lefse Belgian Blonde ale extract kit after much consideration. Last weekend I cooked it up and have it racked into the primary right now, but the directions call for it to be racked into a secondary after two weeks of fermentation. I have heard some...

Hey I've been playing around on beersmith for things I could try for my next brew. I want to do an IPA so I've been thinking about the different ones that I particularly enjoy which includes: Caldera IPA, and Broken Halo. I am only doing extract so far but this is something I think could be...

I am from Eastern Oregon the side of the state that is not as well populated with renowned breweries. My dad has been making AG batches of beer for several years and specializes in Strong Belgians. I decided to try my hand at it and have started off with a kit from Norther Brewer: Lefse Belgian...
