Hello fellow brewers! My wife and I recently started a podcast all about beer. Every week we talk about a couple beers. Ultimately we'd like to get into home brewing topics. I hope you'll check us out! Listen on Website Subscribe to RSS Feed Listen on Joyride Check us out on iTunes

Hello friends! I have recently discovered mead, and it is my new favorite beverage. I have brewed beer before, and now I really want to try brewing mead. My favorite mead is from Denmark: Dansk Mjod Viking Blod. It is 19% ABV and has hibiscus and hops. My second favorite is by the same...

I'm going to be making a Bavarian Hefeweissen. Now I know that they don't all taste exactly the same, or use the same yeast strains. What I'm aiming for is a flavor profile similar to Spaten's Franziskaner Naturtrub, which has a nice blend of banana and clove tastes. Most of the other...

Hello all! I'm looking for a good all-grain Hefeweizen recipe. I am looking for a good authentic-tasting Hefeweizen with the banana and clove tastes. My favorite hefs are Franzis Kaner and Maisels, but I haven't had any luck finding a clone of either. I made the Weihenstephaner clone in...

I live near Seattle, WA, and I've had these beers at some bars, but I've yet to find a store anywhere that carries them. Does anyone know where I can buy Maisels beer for home?

I had a Lucille IPA by Georgetown (makers of Manny's Pale Ale) at the movie theater the other day, and it was delicious! I really liked the piney notes. Does anyone know where I can find a good clone recipe for this beer? Do any of you know what hops are used in this beer? I'm especially...

I am getting ready to make a Duvel clone, and the recipe calls for a 3 quart yeast starter. I have a pack of Wyeast 1388 liquid yeast. I have Palmer's book How to Brew. He says to use 2 cups of water and 0.5 cups of DME to make a yeast starter. This won't make anywhere near 3 quarts of...

I am going to brew the Duvel clone from BYO's 250 Classic Clone Recipes. I'm using the extract with grains option. The recipe calls for either Wyeast 1388 Belgian Strong Ale or White Labs WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale yeast. I am considering harvesting yeast from bottles of Duvel and growing a...

I am wanting to make a Dunkelweizen using extract brewing. The closest thing I've found is the clone recipe for Schneider Weisse in BYO's 250 Classic Clone Recipes. There is an all-grain and an extract version of the recipe. The all-grain recipe consists of: 7.4 lbs Weyermann pale wheat malt...
