My friend asked me for a pistachio beer. Any of these ideas pan out?

Made this 8 years ago. After racking to tertiary it sit for a year then came with me to my new place. Just sitting with silicone stopper. Sit in the garage in my unused fermentation chamber. It sit through hot summers and cold winters. Finally got around to getting into the large stand up...

Any suggestions or observations would be appreciated since this is the first recipe I'm putting together myself. I REALLY want banana flavor to shine through, so I have used suggestions I've gleaned from the web. Especially...

Hi everyone So I haven't brewed in a few years and decided to do the bee cave brewery house ale. Downloaded beersmith and plugged my numbers in and took it to the local homebrew shop. The water in El Paso is horrible so I'm using distilled water and the instructions from the water primer (1...

been awhile. new store open, havent checked it out yet anyone else? http://www.elpasohomebrewing.com/

I've moved to the lower valley. Got a ward labs report when I was on the west side that showed EP water has no redeeming qualities at all for beer brewing. That's from some water gurus and chemestry guys from american homebrewers site. I got to where I was making good beer using distilled...

This was sitting in the back of my closet for 3 years. Best mead I've ever made. Excellent. It was pretty awful after 1 year in tertiary. Glad I decided to keep it. Great recipe!!

Anyone who has tried this recipe also try Ommegang's Hennepin Farmhouse Saison? How does this recipe compare?

Just read all 35 pages. Any thoughts on water additions. Use soft water, ro, DI? Azscoob, what is your water like? rI've gotten good results using the water primer in the Brew Science section. Any thoughs on adding 2% acid malt to the grain bill and 1/2 tsp CaCL to RO water to mash and...

My water is horrible here in el paso. I usually use RO water and the primer in the brew science section and or brunwater online tool. Any advice on the proper water profile for this.beer?

(quote) Perhaps I'll look around for a paper where someone has characterized the protein size fractions at various times/temps during the mash. I assume the big boys shoot for target protein size fraction ratios (quote) Any luck in your research?

The last time I made this beer it turned out great. I used 3/4 distilled and 1/4 store bought spring water. I'd like to be a little more exact. I thought about using the water primer suggestions from the sticky, as they have worked well for me for lighter colored beers recently. But...

I'm going to brew a Bavarian Helles (all grain kit from Northern Brewer). My water out of the tap is horrible, so I'm going to use distilled or RO water and add salts. I'm going to use the Bru'n Water spreadsheet and was wondering what desired water profile I should use. Thanks for any help...

So, how did this beer turn out? I'm brewing it next weekend. Any advice?

I'm on the west side by Franklin High school. This link might be helpful. www.epwu.org/water/pdf/chemanalysis.pdf

Not a water softener. The water chemistry roughly corresponds to the posted water profile from the El Paso Water site. I'll need to play around with bru'n water about dilutions and alkalinity. The primer, for lighter beers has been great. I'd like to make some darker beers though. . .

Since I was told on another forum by some respected brewers (AHA forum) that my tap water was not good brewing water I’ve been trying the water primer using RO water and adding acid malt and calcium chloride and gypsum as it suggests for different brews. The pale ales and wheat bears have been...

There is a book on amazon called the treatment of brewing water by Scholefield. 25 bucks. Anyone hear of it? A good buy?

That's cool. I'd have no problem drinking one of your brews, others might want to know more....."biotech ale." What type of work was done in your carboys?
