I think Horchata lends itself well to a milk stout, but wouldn't you need more than just vanilla and cinnamon? I would think that almonds would be a logical addition, or perhaps chufas depending on what type of flavor you're going for. Or, if you wanted to take the easy way out, just add...

My amber turned out decent, and since the secondary went bonkers when I added puréed grapes to it the ABV came in at around 7%. Took a while to finally condition in the bottle as far as carb level and head retention go. Aroma definitely peanutty, grape sweetness very slight.

Here is where we differ a bit - anytime I've added a fruit to a brew it's always been in the secondary. Too much ferment time for any fruit and the sugars it brings just means you're going to lose the flavor. Brew day for my recipe was last week. Just racked to secondary today. Primary...

I am interested in the recipe, if for no other reason than to compare it to my own. How long did the grape juice stay in the secondary?

I am also intrigued at the possibility of a PBJ beer, however I'm not thinking of blending two separate brews, as it seems like a cop-out. A simple amber ale base recipe which comes in at 5.5%, but my idea is to add dry roasted peanuts to the primary, then pureed concord grapes to the...

I am currently drinking my "Oooh Mommy" porter (see what I did there?), where I took my standard robust porter recipe, added a 50g package of kombu (Laminaria sp.) strips to the boil, then another 50g to the secondary. Honestly, it took some getting used to, but the more I drink it the more I...

I wanted to try this recipe, but couldn't find blood oranges anywhere. I don't know if they weren't in season or what. So I substituted some more exotic fruits - carambola (star fruit) and pomegranate. I used fresh pomegranate arils in lieu of a pre-package puree or juice. Steeped them and...
