Brewing up a bitter to use up some of the 14oz of Goldings we picked the other week. As luck would have it I ran out of propane with 10 minutes left on the mash. A quick run to the gas station fixed that, but I'll be checking that ahead of time in the future.

Of course! I actually want to use this name for a Scotch ale but needed a placeholder to plug in to Beersmith when filling out the recipe. ajf: Oh man that was exactly what I was looking for. I just got a copy of Designing Great Beers last week which is what prompted me to try doing a...

Yeah man it's on the right side of the table with all the grains on it. The one on the left does not crush fine enough but the one on the right does it proper! EDIT: Prices between Cellar and Mountain Homebrew are pretty much a wash if I find myself on the eastside I'll swing in there but...

Thanks for the feedback Steve. Can you think of any reason why replacing it with an equal amount of biscuit or amber malt would be a bad idea?

After doing a number of all grain recipes off the forums here (:mug:) I decided it was time to try my hand at my own. I'm a little gun shy about taking a stab at this so I wanted to see if people seems like this will be ok. Cock o' The North Best Bitter I still haven't demystified...

That would give it some flavor but since you're not boiling the oils I'm thinking it'd give it a pretty bitter taste. My last batch of this recipe (slightly altered as I had posted before) worked out perfectly. I was working on it for a brewing contest we had here at work and I was able to...

They were pretty large. Larger than a baseball but just smaller than a softball I'd say. I think adding fresh zent into the secondary with the hops could come out too orange-y. All the concentrated orange flavor in the oil is just going to be sitting in the beer and I would think make it...

Take this with a grain of salt, since I'm still pretty new but I've been experimenting a lot with this recipe over the past couple months and I've found that zesting 4 oranges (3oz more or less) and putting it in with about 5 min. left in the boil (outside my hop bag so it floats around) has...

Thanks for the reply blacklab. I went ahead and brewed yesterday and I'm feeling pretty good about this one. My efficiency looks like it came out ok and I hit my target gravity. So far so good. The one thing I completely forgot to do is toss in the Irish Moss towards the end of the boil...

Ok so after a couple runs at this (being my first all grain) I'm having middling success. A lot of this I think just comes from learning the ropes, along with your equipment on top of everything else that goes in to brewing. That all being said after futzing with BeerSmith I've had to make...

A friend and I are giving this recipe a shot on Saturday as our first all grain brew. I have a couple questions. 1) We're substituting US 2 Row for the Maris Otter. This _shouldn't_ change things too much should it? I haven't plugged it in to Brewsmith yet but that seemed like a...
