Excellent, thanks guys; I will probably just go with the American Ale yeast. I will check out starting my own though ;)

Hi guys, I'm going to be starting my very first partial-mash and am following thi recipe for a Vanilla Bourbon Winter Ale. The recipe calls for Rogues Ales Pacman yeast which is not available right now through Wyeast. I would prefer to substitute a more common yeast strain that I can get my...

OK guys, two weeks ago, I made this post https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/extremely-watery-ipa-dogfish-head-60min-clone-112010/ To summarize, I tried a BYO Magazine Dogfish Head 60min IPA clone. After a standard 1wk Primary - 2wk Secondary/Dry Hop - 3wk Bottle the beer, while had great taste...

It tastes properly carbonated, but based on all the suggestions, I'll just try it again in a week, and if it's not decent, then another and.......... thanks again guys,

I plugged it into Beersmith and the numbers looked OK. In fact, even my OG was on (~1.064 IIRC).

I took an OG reading it and was right in where it should have been. I figured there was no point posting an FG since I didn't have the OG. Directly after I took off the the boil it was probably 2.75gal. After chilling I filled to 5gal. I guess I'll wait unless anyone else has some suggestions.

The guy at the brew store crushes all the grains for his customers.

Sorry guys, I should have waited until I got home, I was just so damn frustrated. Anyways, here it is slightly modified (as noted) from The Best of Brew Your Own magazine "150 Classic Clone Recipes". 1.5lb 15oz 2-row pale malt 6.4oz Amber Malt 5.0lb Light LME 2.5lb Light LME 0.70oz (11.2 AAU)...

Hi guys, I was extremely stoked last night. I made a Dogfish Head 60min IPA clone a while back (at work, will post recipe later if needed). I had it a week in the fermenter, two in the secondary while dry hopping. Since I was out of town last week, it sat in the bottles for 4 weeks, and chilled...

Well, the first batch is done. It's a Brewer's Best Robust Porter. The recipe is: 8oz 60L Crushed Crystal Malt 4oz Black Patent Malt 4oz Chocolate Malt 2kg Amber Malt Extract 1oz Cluster 7.9AAU at 60 min .5oz Willamette 4.6AAU at 5 min OG - 1.040 FG - ...um...I lost it, I 'think' 1.016 ABV - I...

I only plan on it being in the primary for a week, then its going into the secondary with the dry hops. So aside from losing a little beer, I shouldn't worry about contamination?

Hi guys, on my second brew, first is in the bottles. Over the weekend, I started my second (clone of Dogfish Head 60 min IPA). Everything went relatively well except for some slight hop measurement problems. Anyways, I have a small leak in my primary fermenter at the spigot. Its a pretty small...

edit: $1.99/lb, which is still about $1/lb cheaper than any other place I can find. Is there a table or chart that I can find to show how to "convert" light malt extract to other types? Thanks a lot for the quick responses.

hey guys, I have my first brew (from kit) bottle conditioning right now. In order to stagger the brews for maximum consistent drinking, I'd like to brew some tomorrow. My local feed store had kits, which I'd like to avoid, but also some other goodies. To try and avoid pricey malt extract in...

Wow, I didn't expect to get two pages of replies. Thanks for all the input, I might just shell out the 20 and get the beersmith; it seems to be the most common.

Hi guys, first time brewer here. I just started last weekend and have a "Robust Porter" fermenting. Anyways, is there a program or database template that people use to keep track or recipes and such? I seen a couple online, but they were just Microsoft Access databases, and they cost like $15...
