I've noticed two threads within this forum that have delt with Ales and Beers from fantasy novels (i.e. Hobbit Ale and Butter beer), and I was wondering if there was anyone else out there in homebrew-land that has tried to replicate any other fantasy novel brews. I've been thinking about doing...

Ok, so I just started to drink a batch that I brewed and it has a taste more like an American Pale Ale than an English bitter. I was wondering (based on the recipe) what you long time brewers though this was. Is it an (Americanized) English Bitter or is it an American Pale Ale? 3 gallon...

Ok fellow brewers here's a stumper for me. Shandy is a very light dead of summer lemon beer. I'm thinking about trying to do a shandy for SWMBO. I'm guessing that it would have to be lagered. I have no idea where to even start with this. What hops would go with lemon? I'm guessing if I did...

Ok so here is my idea for my next brew. A root beer. I know, I know you're thinking why would you want to use root beer extract to brew. I don't! I want to find the sassparilla and do a brown ale. However, I know sasparillia is not the only flavoring in Root beer. What are the other...

Found some info regarding peanut butter as well as a recipe for a pb porter. I'm not to the all grain stage of my brewing carreer yet so one of you guys will have to try this. The recipe is not mine, but I found it and I'm sharing it with you. I asked about Peanut Butter on another forum and...

What do you guys think? Should I add/subtract anything? Is there something that I should do to the process? I'm going to brew this on Mar. 4th, 2008, so any advice you could give before then would be great. I'm making my yeast starter tomorrow so it can sit for at least 24 hours. I'm not...
