So a buddy of mine and I are brewing a wet hop beer using what he was able to grow in his garden. By all accounts the hops look and feel good, so we wanted to come up with a demo beer. I'm banking off it being an american variant around 5-7% alpha (no clue on beta) given what can be found at...

So I haven't done a straight extract brew in a while, but figured it might be a fun little experiment. Anyway: 3.6 gallon boil. Top up to 5.5 gal. Fermentables 3.3lb Briess Bavarian Wheat LME 3.3lb Briess Rye LME Hop Schedule 15 - 1oz Mosaic & 1oz Citra 10 - 1oz Mosaic & 1oz...

Posted this over on BA, but wanted to get thoughts here as well! Both are, somewhat dramatically if you're being super strict about style, altered versions of recipes I've enjoyed in the past. They are meant to be simple, with lots of aroma hopping rather than straight bitterness. It's a Cali...

So, I've been a bit bored and been wanting to try a sour mash gose. However, given the variable results of sour mashing I figured maybe extract + specialty grain would be an easy start. Since I have to run by my LHBS anyway, I was thinking of picking up two canisters of wheat LME and...

So a professional brewer is letting me use some of their wort to make a different interpretation of their oatmeal stout. I decided it would be interesting to try a Trappist yeast in combination with brett lambicus to get a bit of a funky, belgian styling to an otherwise very traditional British...

So, I got a bit bored over the weekend and threw together a holiday cyser meant to age until Thanksgiving 2014. I've never brewed mead, cider, wine, or cyser before, so any input on this recipe (I assume negative) is worthwhile for the future! Meant to be very "Holiday"-ish, like a winter...

Basically I did all priming in the kegs, as was advised while waiting for shipment of my kegerator. Should I be hooking these up without C02 originally, or hook the c02 line and let it sit at 10-12 PSI? Very new to kegging so apologies if this is a silly question. Just unsure whether I can...

So the original idea was to brew a full-blown imperial, but kinda stepped back. Juniper was bought from Brewer's Best; oak will be american light toast soaked in Jamisson for 3 months. Fermentables 9.9lb Briess Rye LME Steep for 30 minutes: 2lb Briess Cherry Wood Smoked Malt 1lb Weyermann...

I decided to play around with something between a stout and an ESB, with flavoring for a winter warmer. There's some weird backstory, but here's the recipe: Rabo's Special Stout Malt 3.3lb Briess Golden Light LME 3.3lb Briess Rye LME 1lb Chocolate Malt 1lb Biscuit Malt Boil 30 -...

So, I decided to take a stab at making a refreshing but very citrusy summer beer. 3.3lb Breiss Weizen Extract 1lb Flaked Oats 1lb Torrified Wheat 2lb White Wheat Boil: 1oz Citra @ 15 1oz Citra @ 5 1oz Citra @ 0 Yeast: WLP400 Secondary: Citric Acid 2oz Bitter Orange Peel 1oz...

I'm bottle conditioning using WLP-670 Farmhouse Blend, which contains brett (I've read about 55/45 sach / brett mixture). Are there any major bottling concerns with brett in the mix? Never had an issue with lacto or pediococcus, but never tried with brett.

I'm hoping to brew this today and wanted to get any thoughts on it in! Goal is a citrus and fruit hop flavors, with a bready malt backing. Fermentables: 6.6lbs Extra Light LME 2lb Biscuit 1lb Crystal 20 1lb Victory Hop Schedule: 60 - 1 oz Citra 15 - 1 oz Mosaic 10 - .5 oz Mosaic...

So my local store got a bunch of mosaic in, and I decided I'd like to try it out. At the same time, I'd been wanting to do a farm house ale and try out some rye LME, so I threw together a very simple but a bit odd recipe. Malt: 9.9lb Breiss Rye LME Hop Schedule: 60 1oz Mosaic 30 1oz...

I posted a full on gruit version of this recipe the other day, and wanted to see what people thought of the hopped version. One major question is should the herbs be left in the for the whole lagering process? I can get the fermenter to 50-55 degrees pretty easy, but figured I'd want the tank...

I'm brewing this as a collaboration with Victor Vazquez of Das Racist, and we're looking at doing two brews. One is a traditional pills with jasmine, but the other is a bit more experimental. Malt Steep 3.3lbs Briess Pils LME 2lbs Extra Light DME 1lb Carapils 1lb Pils Herb Steep 2oz Jasmine...

I'm working on a IIPA that uses hops from similar families at every stage of the process, hence "Buckshot". Revised recipe: http://hopville.com/recipe/1668877 Original Recipe: 13.2lb Briess Pilsen Light 4lb Maris Otter 2lb Crystal 80 Hops: Columbus, Nugget, Chinook 1oz of each at 60 1oz of...

Recipe is here: http://hopville.com/recipe/1667967 ***Should probably have noted it's smoked in the topic title. It's actually 20 serrano peppers, but no option was available for that. Largely it's a majorly upscaled version of my pepper porter, which got a lot of praise and had some contest...

Tobacco is apparently very toxic in brewing. The rest of the recipe still stands. Hey all, Here's a somewhat weird recipe I'm considering brewing with a friend. 9.9lbs Dark LME 4lbs Weyermann Smoked Malt 2lb Chocolate 2lb Crystal 80 2oz Centennial @ 60 1oz Centennial @ 30 2oz Willamettte @...
