Side by side of this vs the real thing. Guess which one is real, lol. Clarity has always been a little elusive for me.

A few more weeks in the bottle really did wonders for this. I get a lot more hop character in my beer when side-by-siding against the real thing, but prefer the mouthfeel of the real stuff. Mine is definitely not as clear, but it's hard to get commercial clarity from bottle conditioned beers...

Final Product: So, I wanted to clone The Bruery's Mischief, a Golden Strong Ale w/American Dry Hops. Definitely a favorite of mine. However I couldn't find any recipe or even attempt at the recipe in my internet searches...so I decided to go right to the source and e-mailed The Bruery...

In the recipe I posted I have ~12% of the grist dedicated to C60 or CaraMunich. Too much? What would you recommend? I've never made belgian candi before. Seems simple: gather sugar, little bit of citric acid, add water, more boil = more dark. That's pretty much what I'd be doing with the...

Hello Internet, I was introduced to a lovely brew from Parallel 49 called Salty Scot recently, which is a Wee Heavy with Sea Salt and Caramel flavor added. I'd like to emulate this...not strictly a clone, but something my own along the same lines. What I need help with is: 1. How to best...

Hey kids, This is my first recipe that's entirely my own, and I'm really pleased with the result. Concept was pretty straight forward, I had the name before I even had a recipe: a Vanilla Pumpkin Spice Latte that'll keep you warm all winter. Tis the season for pumpkin spice everything, after...

It's fall, and that means everything must be pumpkin, and my next batch will be no different. I had a name for this one before I had a recipe. Here's what I'm thinking: White Girl Wasted A Vanilla Pumpkin Spiced Latte Stout An homage to uggs, yoga pants, and all our favorite things about...

I call this my nightmare brew. First brew made in my new apt, and I was woefully unprepared. Ran out of propane, stuck sparge, major boilover, missed OG by 10 points, and found out at 2am when it was finally all done that I misplaced the lid for my fermentation bucket somewhere in the move...so...

I don't have a mill, so I need to buy it already crushed. I'd like to take advantage of free shipping at morebeer.com, so I planned on purchasing the material for 2 brew days at the same time. However, I only have the 1 bucket, so the second brew is going to need to sit for at least two...

All right, cracked open the first bottle tonight. This was not only my first AG, but first time using a lot of new equip i didnt have before (stir plate, wort chiller, turkey fryer, etc) so a lot could have gone wrong. Proud to say this turned out amazing, and is a huge confidence boost after...

For the benefit of new brewers, like myself: What is the full story with Pilsner malt and DMS? Why is DMS a common issue with Pilsner malt, and why does a 90 min boil prevent that? How does cooling the wort faster help prevent the issue?

Brewed this as my first all grain today. Got the mash temp and water volume exactly where I wanted with surprisingly little fuss, though I underanticipated the boil off volume of my new turkey fryer and got 5g in the fermenter exactly...would have liked a little extra to make up for the trub...

I see a lot of lemon and orange zest additions...But has anyone tried tangerines? I happen to have a tangerine tree, and would find it to be in the farmhouse spirit to throw some zest in. How much would be appropriate? Planning on brewing this as my first all grain next weekend.

http://imgur.com/HezGPpx Cheers all. Great beer, would brew again for sure.

Update - cracked open the first bottle yesterday, and it was great despite the fact that FG was 1.023...quite a few points higher than expected. I didn't end up adding the vanilla. Thanks OP for the great recipe, and thanks to everyone else for your contribution to the thread

My understanding is that the Wheat is there for head retention more than anything

Made the extract recipe on Sunday, accidentally poured the whole 1oz bag of hops in instead of measuring out .75oz (I doubt this will make a big difference). 1.062 OG. Bubbling away after just a few hours. Thinking about adding some vanilla after it's done fermenting. Would want it to be...

My understanding is that those are just sugar tablets, right? Advantage is that you are putting a precise amount of ferment-able sugar in to each bottle?

Oops didn't realize I had replies. Here's the rundown: 1. It's beer, though the Red Ale didn't ferment down near where was expected (ended at 1.022, should have been 1.012. I got some things mixed up and thought that was close enough). The IIPA started and ended exactly where the recipe...

Ha, no. Mostly Sam Adams and Stone bottles.
