Hi All, I ordered a pack of WLP645 Brettanomyces Claussenii and am trying to decide what to brew with it. My Idea was to use it in a standard Belgian Triple (recipe below) The plan is brew 10 gallons and split it in two. The first half will be with WY3787 Trappist yeast and the second half...

Hi All, I've somehow managed to collect some different varities of NZ hops over the last year or so. Usually just adding a few hundred grams of something that had a special offer when originally I only wanted to order something else:oops: So no superstars from the NEIPA scene. I would like to...

I was in a supermarket in the Netherlands last week looking through the selection of Belgian beers and saw two beers from St. Feuillien which were, according to the information on the bottles, bottle conditioned and unfiltered. I had a look and there was indeed a lot of yeast in each bottle so I...

Hi All, I got a vial of Brettanomyces bruxellensis WLP650 and was thinking of what to brew with it. I'm all for making things simple and as I am already planning a Witbier for the spring, I was wondering if the grain bill from a Witbier would be a good base for brewing a brett saison? The...

Hi All, I have used the "normal" color Brown Malt several times for porters and stouts. This would be Fawcett or Warminister which themselves vairy a lot in color but would be approx. 150 EBC or 60 Lovibond. I wanted to order more with my last order but none of the shops I order from have...

Hi Guys and Gals, I'm thinking of brewing a Foreign Extra Stout this weekend based on the following recipe from Craft Beer and Brewing. https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-foreign-extra-stout/ Anyone here ever try to brew it? I will just sub brown malt for the Special Roast as I don't...

Hi All, I wanted to order some normal Fawcett Caramalt (10 to 12 Lovibond) but ordered the pale version ( about 6 Lovibond) by mistake. Over the years I've ordered about 10 pounds of other low color crystal/caramalt that I haven't really used. I have Carahell, Carablonde, Pale Caramalt...

Hi All, Anyone have a recipe for this beer? I haven’t had it myself as I’m from Europe and haven’t seen it here yet. https://lagunitas.com/Beer/Hazy-Memory However I would be interested in brewing it as I have almost all the hops and it sounds like it’s a bit different from your classic...

Hi All, Normally I do BIAB in a 8 gallon electic kettle and sparge with about 2.5 gallons. With about 70% efficiency this works fine to get 5 gallon beers up to an OG of about 1.080. However if I want to aim for something with an OG around 1.100 then I have to do a no sparge mash in a 13 gallon...

Hi All, I wanted to use up the hops that are getting old in my freezer. I'm already sorted for IPAs and have a RIS and Barleywine planned. I would like to brew something else that uses up a decent amount of hops but with few criteria: 1. I bottle and it's shame to put a pile of hops in a beer...

Hi all, I bought a lot of hops and want to use them on a killer DIPA. Something with a decent malt backbone. I only bottle if that has any impact on the recipe decision. It can be a clone brew or a tried and tested home brew recipe. I have most malts or a substitute for them - except special...

Anyone have a recipe for the Oskar Blues IPA that came out about 2 years ago? I never tasted it but it has good reviews and should be a bit different than your run of the mill IPA. I have all the hops here so that's why I'm interested in brewing it. Ella, Galaxy, topaz etc. Thanks!

Hi Guys, I recently brewed my first high gravity beer which was an Imperial Stout. It turned out very good and now I want to take the next step and try a barley wine. Anyone have a decent recipe they can recommend? I heard good things about the Water into Barleywine so I'll probably give...

Hi all, I’m from Ireland and am going to NYC in a few months and wanted to check out some American brew shops. Can you recommend a shop in NYC/Brooklyn where I can get a decent deal on hops? I’d like to pick up a pound of Centennial but the only shop I found for bulk hops was Bitter and...

Hi All, 3 friends and I all from Ireland celebrate our 40th birthday's this year and decided to make a trip to New York in May to celebrate. We will be there for 4 nights and staying in the Williamsburg area. Of course we plan on doing the touristy things and going into the city centre...

Hi All, I want to brew my first lager next month and decided to brew a 10% Baltic porter. I ordered 3 packs of Saflager W-34/70 last year but never got around to brewing anything with them. Now they are almost out of date so I would like to use them up. I can't seem to find a definitive...

Hi all, I was considering brewing an American Barleywine and found the below recipe on another forum. (couldn't contact the poster because its from a few years ago and I'm also not registered). I thought it would be perfect to use up the Summit and Columbus hops I have getting old in my...

Hi All, I have about 5oz of Falconer's flight getting old in my freezer so I want to use it up. I also want to try brew my first session IPA so was thinking of brewing a Falconer's flight based one. I have a 55lb sack of Vienna malt so want to make that the base malt. Looking through lots...

Hi All, I come from Ireland but live in continental Europe and like everywhere the hop prices have gone through the roof this year. My SWMBO is going to Seattle on business next week and I was thinking of her to bring me back some hops. Unfortunately it will be too difficult/risky with...
