So I have about 10 oz of cascade hops left in my freezer from my last Hops Direct buy, and I have another pound on the way... so I figured I would try my hand at an all cascade IIPA. I've only got a 7 gal brewpot, so the DME is in there to get the OG up using my system. Two questions: 1...

Hey all, I'm having trouble nailing down that silky smooth mouthfeel that comes with my favorite IIPAs (i.e. Dreadnaught, 90 minute). I don't have the kettle room to do an AG IIPA, so I'm trying to put together an extract recipe that will do it. Any thoughts on the best way to get that...

Hey all, Here's a recipe I'm toying with for a brown porter. (It's pretty hoppy for a brown, and may actually break into the robust area, but I'm trying Randy Mosher's technique of getting most of the hop bitterness by late additions) I'm thinking of bypassing the crystal malt and getting...

I recently made the switch to AG, and have been doing some of my favorite recipes as AG instead of extract. So far, they have all been better as AG rather than extract. While SWMBO and I were enjoying one of these (Orfy's mild mannered ale) last night, she asked me if I knew of a recipe that...

So my first foray into the AG world is tomorrow. I'm doing 5 gal of EdWort's Haus Pale, as it seems to be the equivalent of prom night for most of the AG folks here. I've got my checklist, ingredients in labeled baggies, and all of my equipment ready. Any last minute advice from the...

So I was about 55 min into my 60 min boil of an IPA, enjoying the first warm, sunny day I'd seen in about 6 months when it occurred to me that the sun had been beating down on my hop-heavy IPA for an hour. Did I skunk my beer? I guess I could call it Pepe-le-Brew?

I'm getting ready to build an IC, and I bought 50' of 3/8" tubing yesterday at HD for $33. Then today I'm at Lowes (too many home improvement projects for my own good), and I see 50' of 1/2" for $38. I picked it up with the intent of returning the 3/8" tomorrow. Then I started reading...

a few weeks back i found myself with some time on my hands and an itch to brew. i also had a bunch of left over ingredients from prior brews that were crying out to be used. now i'm ready to bottle it, but i don' know what to call it. here's what i did: • 3# extra light DME • 1# crystal...
