Hey guys, I've got a new grower question for y'all that I haven't been able to conclusively figure out. Are the white parts that come out of my rhizomes shoots or roots? Should they be planted such that those poke out of the soil, or dig into it? Thanks in advance!

Hey all, I didn't realize until earlier today that the latest issue of BYO (December 09) has a clone of Edmund Fitz in it. I'd be really really interested in that recipe. If anyone has it or can get it, I'd be very grateful. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone ever tried this? I've got about a gallon of cider that I'm planning on adding some sugar to, and then fermenting with a smack pack of Wyeast's lambic blend. I imagine it could be really tasty. I'll be sure to let you guys know how it goes!

Hey all, I got the basis for this recipe from the "Farmhouse Ales" book, the section on grisette, which is like a medium-strength, extra hoppy saison. I also interpreted the section of the text to say that the beer would often be quite dark. Records are sketchy. With that spirit of...

Hey all, I made up a recipe today with the idea that it'd be a slightly maltier than most IPA. I love an IPA with a strong malt presence, but I wanted to keep it simple, so this is what I went with. The hop selection can be modified, but I've ordered the grain bill as is, so only additions...

Hey guys, I got together with some friends recently who are brewing novices but interested nonetheless. Our LHBS was closed at the time and I didn't think enough in advance to get any specialty malt, so we were limited to the extracts I had on hand. I know this is sort of a silly recipe, but...

I'm going for a hybrid of the fruit-wheat and fruit lambic styles of beer here, taking inspiration from the malt bill of a fruit lambic, but using more standard strains of yeast. What I need to figure out is: 1.) How true to form this recipe is, in terms of letting the raspberry flavor come...

I live in a small one bedroom apartment with my fiancée and cat, and it's summer time in the warm Ohio valley. I don't really have access to refrigeration or central A/C, so as far as I can tell, I'm stuck brewing saisons until the weather starts to mild. Here's my first recipe, inspired by...

Hey guys, I've been drinking a bunch of Hoegaarden recently, and got to thinking that since I just brewed a Kolsch, a Hefeweizen, and an Oberon clone, it would be neat to look into formulating a recipe for a Wit. In the past I used recipes supplied by Midwest, Northern, or AHS, but this...

I noticed on the Briess website they have a number of ale recipes that all recommend crash cooling at 35 degrees for 3 days after fermentation is complete. What does this accomplish? Faster clearing? Cleaner flavor?

Hey guys, I transferred my kriek into secondary a few weeks back, on top of two cans of Oregon cherry puree. I rigged up a blowoff tube into a bucket of sanitizer, but I think the tube was too long for the volume of sanitizer in the bucket. The fermentation clearly took off, when I checked on...

Hey guys, My second batch is just finishing up in primary, and I'm thinking of transferring to secondary today. I hit my FG after a little agitation a few days ago. The original recipe called for two hop additions, 1 oz cascade at the beginning, and 1 oz Fuggle for aroma. Obviously Fuggles...

Hey guys, I just joined these forums the other day, and I'm definitely learning a lot, this is a really neat place. I started my first batch of home brew on Friday night, a True Brew red ale kit - it was a fun experience for sure. I'm pretty sure I slipped up here or there, but practice makes...
