When I first started brewing I brewed the extract version, from Extreme Brewing. A couple years after going all grain I converted, and tweaked this recipe. I prefer the double decoction mash, but this can certainly be brewed with a single infusion. Blood Oranges start being sold in late...

I really enjoy apricot ales. Magic Hat #9 was one of the first craft beers I started drinking in college, and the flavor has stuck with me. I brewed a simple Pale Ale a month ago and decided to try and secondary on top of 3lbs of Vitner's Harvest Apricot Puree. I went to keg it today, after 3...

A Belgian/French Saison with an American Pale Ale hop schedule. Still dominated by WY3711's spicy and slightly citrusy yeast character, the Centennial and Galaxy hops provide a nice hoppy aroma and flavor. WY3711 always finishes low and dry, no matter how high I mash, which is perfect for the...

I'm try to brew a traditional hefeweizen. Should I use red or white wheat?

My last batch got infected. I know exactly where and how it happened. My issue is that it was in my primary fermenter, and the infected beer touched everything (siphon, hose, glass carboy, etc.), which brings me to my question. I am brewing again this weekend (a Red IPA that I would be...

I'm going to be in Vancouver for five days and naturally want to check out some breweries. Any suggestions?

I normally do not control the temperature for my fermentation. I don't have the room or a second refrigerator. But, my keezer is completely empty, so i figure I might as well put it to use as a fermentation chamber. Because my kegs are empty I want to brew two ales about 10 days apart, but my...

I've read a lot of threads and recipes where people grind their leaf hops with a coffee grinder before adding them to the boil or dry hop. I just bought a large amount of Simcoe and Amarillo leaf hops that I want to make an IPA with. Just was wondering what the advantages or disadvantages would...
