Ok guys, I need to call on your knowledge. I recently finished up my first batch of Ed's Apfelwein and it came out pretty well. Very tasty, but not entirely what I hoped for. What I want to end up with is a sweet tasting cider as opposed to a wine flavored apple juice. So I started up...

So how many of you called off work today and are enjoying games on TV and a home brew in your living room? Today I am watching basketball all day, and I'm eating BBQ Beef Brisket that was smoked for 30 hours, eating peppers I canned from the garden, and drinking a Belgian Wit and a Porter...

I just came across something funky with my yeast. Up to this point I had only used dry yeast in all my beers....although this last batch I brewed up a Belgian Wit and decided to go liquid and used the smack pack. After 3 weeks in the primary (did not use a secondary) my beer basically had a...

I was hoping for some help from some of you guys with changing a few things on a recipe I came across. The current recipe is as follows... 2 Gallon Boil 3.3 lbs Amber LME 3.3 lbs Light LME 0.75 oz EK Goldings 60 min 0.75 oz EK Fuggles 60 min 0.25 oz EK Goldings 15 min 1.5 oz EK...

I just wanted to make sure I understand the reasoning behind this... I am brewing up a blue moon style tomorrow and wanted to keep it light in color. I am doing a 3 gallon boil and the recipe calls for 2lbs of DME and 3.3lbs of LME. The reason for doing the late addition method is to keep...

Just wondering how you more experienced brewers got started with different styles. Did you try to make clones of your favorite beers or did you just throw stuff together to make something unique? I'm asking because I just finished brewing my 3rd batch and in my head, it's almost like I have...

I am trying to learn more about this style of beer and how to make it. I am a big fan of the Great Lake's Holy Moses White Ale and recently tried the Sam Adam's White Ale....so I'd like to try to duplicate it. What style of beer would this be in? Is it an American Pale Ale or something else...

Hey guys.....I am just about ready to brew up my third batch and was thinking about adding a little more to bite off. I would really like to try my hand at a honey porter. If you guys have a good recipe to share I would love to take a look at it. The previous two batches I've brewed (Blonde...

Just curious on who has tried this beer and what they thought of it. I have been wanting to try this style for a while but could never find it. I happened to come across it at some hole in the wall beer store. IMO, the initial flavor is ok but this beer has an overwhelming hoppy finish...

I was thinking about taking this next step and wondering what works for you guys...and what you can expect to pay. Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good Hefeweissen recipe. I started my first batch of Blonde Ale and am going to be bottling this weekend. I'd like to get started right away on another batch but I need something relatively easy. Preferrably something that just includes LME...

Ok...let me first say that I am pretty new to brewing and have never made up any batches with anything other than LME...although I am going to give all grain a try pretty soon. But I had an idea today and wanted to run it by you guys to see if you'd think it might work. I like to BBQ a lot...

Hey guys, just stumbled across this site and had to sign up. This place looks cool. I got a brew kit for Christmas and fired my first batch up within a day. I have never brewed before so I'll take any tips I can find. I started with a Blonde Ale and am anxious to see how I did. It'll be...
