Hey guys, I was hoping to make a BMC-lover-friendly cream ale with some extra, subtle flavor involved. I also plan to use some hops my in-laws have growing on their property (the beer is for them, mostly, and they're BMC types). I want to add their hops late so that they get the flavor but it...

Hey guys, I'm hoping to do this recipe tomorrow. I was hoping you might give me suggestions. I want a low alcohol beer (3-3.5%) with a decent amount of Citra hop flavor and aroma but balanced gravity-to-IBU ratio. Here is my proposed brew: 5 gal batch Mash: 158 F 5 lb pale malt 1 lb...

I have discovered I love the taste of stouts mixed with IPAs. My question is... Has anyone ever tried averaging two recipes? Will an IPA recipe averaged with a stout recipe taste similar to the two mixed? I know I should just suck it up, brew both and maybe bottle some half and half or...

I've got 15# of Maris Otter for a SMaSH DIPA. I was wondering if you guys think I should mash at a low temperature to give it the typical low-gravity FG, or should I mash at a slightly higher temperature and add sugar to make up the difference, so that I can dry the beer out some, get a higher...

Hey everyone. From what I see, beer freezing isn't bad for the beer. I have recently made a beer which is pretty dark with a pretty high abv. I was wondering if freezing a bottle of beer while aging another at 45-55°F would allow me to taste the differences due to aging in 6-12 months...

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if you knew of any good reason why I shouldn't apply some kind of UV-blocking tint to the outside of my glass carboys. I want something that allows a fair amount of light through so I know how far down to hold my syphon, etc. but I've just had a bit of a scare...

So I have done a search and a lot of the people I've seen posting about hop extracts seem to be trying to extract hop flavors and aromas from their hops to add to their beer. While I personally wouldn't want to dump a bunch of grain alcohol into my fermented beer, I completely understand...

Hello guys, So I quickly decided that extract brewing was too expensive for me to do and wanted to switch to all-grain. I now have three all-grain brews going, two pretty much done fermenting and aging a bit in their primaries, and my most recent one is getting close to finishing up...
