I am new to recipe formulation and I am wanting to do something similiar to Elysian Brewing's Dark O'the Moon pumpkin stout. I saw a starter recipe thread doing a search here, but no one ever responded how it turned out, and it didn't look like a great recipe. Any help is appreciated.

I am looking for some help in cloning this beer. I don't have much experience cloning commercial beers and formulating recipes. So any help would be greatly appreciated. My take on it, it is a chocolate stout, with the gingerbread spices, and it tops out at 9.0% ABV, so it might be...

I am looking for anyone selling 5 Gallon Ball-Lock Corny Kegs in the San Antonio, Texas area at a reasonable price. New or used, I can buy seal kits to recondition them, but I don't want to pay retail or shipping for them. I think they are overpriced at most homebrew shops and mail order...

I was coming home from Canada this weekend and found this at the Duty Free. I like Keith's when I am in Canada because the selection in most restaraunts is limited to BMC, there are exceptions to that tho. Well Keith's India Pale Ale is really not much of an IPA by any definition...

I have 5 gallons of cider, in it's secondary fermenter. It has long since finished fermenting, I am curious as to what to do with it to make a good "still cider" with some mulling spices and possibly stabilize it and back sweeten. Has anyone made something like this and what methods did you...

I did not add anything to my must before I pitched the yeast to help with clearing the cider. Is there anything I can add when I rack to secondary to help clear this cider?

On saturday I got to help out and get myself 10 gallons of fresh pressed cider. When I got home saturday afternoon I crushed 5 campdem tablets and dropped them into one carboy and one better bottle. Earlier in the week on Weds. I made a starter with the vial of WLP775 Cider yeast and some...

I am going to be getting at least 5 gallons and possibly two 5 gallon carboys full of fresh pressed cider this saturday. So I will likely be fermenting 10 gallons. I bought some White Labs English Cider Yeast WLP775. Since I am going to be doing two 5 gallon batches is it possible for me to...

I found this wort chiller on craigslist, and purchased it from the guy for next to nothing(less than $20). But I am not fond of how it is configured. Does anyone know the easiest way to extend the entry/exit connections higher so they will be above the edge of the brewkettle? I am worried of...

I have a friend selling a Haier Model No: HRQ04WNABBB. It is a 4.2 cubic ft. Refrigerator only, no freezer compartment, it has removable shelves and a removable crisper, I will know more after I go look at it tomorrow. It looks like it will fit cornies and a CO2 tank, has anyone seen this...

I have the opportunity to get some freshly pressed apple cider in two weeks. Friend of mine invited me along for a Apple Cider/Pick/Squeeze open to friends in his homebrew club. I've never made cider before, only EdWort's Apfelwine. My friend only wild ferments his cider. Does anyone...

It's nice to see Great Lakes Brewing Co. beers available here in Upstate NY. I live in Rochester and they finally have some distribution up here. I've had their beers out in Ohio when I went to Cedar Point, and have missed them ever since.

Is it a bad thing to pitch a starter if it is still fermenting itself? Or is that ok? It was WL400 Belgian Wit, it took a bit longer to really start going in my starter than I planned, I made it on Wed, and it was still chugging on the starter today when I brewed.

Belgium Comes To Cooperstown, NY Is anyone going? I know it sold out quick this year, but I was wondering if anyone from HBT was heading up there for the weekend. I am volunteering for it, and the perks for helping them out are nice. With over 200 Belgian Breweries in attendance...

Looking for the wisdom of the community here, is there a simple way to modify this kit to be a Late Addition of the LME? How much should I add of the LME at beginning of boil? Their instructions call for the 5lbs of LME to be added at the beginning of the boil. How should I adjust the...

Hi all, I am new to the forum, new to homebrewing and trying to learn all I can from the minds on this website. My first homebrew was an American Wheat extract kit. It came out well, I split is bottled half as the American Wheat and Half as a Raspberry Wheat. It turned out great, I am...
