So I want my next beer to be a porter and have been meaning to try out Brett for quite a while. I was reading that many of the historical old porters had significant Brett notes that they picked up from the wooden aging barrels back in the day so I figured why not? This is the recipe I am...

Ok so I may be being optimistic thinking it will last into winter but need a good cold weather brew and thinking of a brown ale. Creative inspiration came from that "flat ass tired" brew on that other beer forum... Brown Trout Ale: 8 lbs marris otter 2 lbs Vienna 1 lb Munich malt 1 lb...

So last year I tried a Saison with WLP566 (the platinum strain) and it was excellent and fruity. This year I'd like to try the Wyeast 3724 version. I hear it is more "earthy/spicy" or something... My latest Saison recipe to brew brewed in a week or so: 8 lbs pilsner malt 1 lb wheat malt 1lb...

My experimental 3.5L (about a gallon) of apple cider I fermented with S04 has hit 1.012 from 1.060 and I think I`m ready to bottle it. My plan is to leave it outside around 2-3 days since the flask is too big for the fridge. Do you think this will work? (the highs for this week are all around...

Hello- I just juiced enough apples to make 4L of cider as sort of an experiment. I added just a bit of brown sugar/dextrose combo to make a starting gravity of 1.055 and fermented with S-04 yeast. I plan to stop it sweet (1.015) by cold crashing early and then bottle and let the residual...

Hi guys- Looking for a little help making my first big belgian beer. I like Unibroue stuff and, living in montreal, i've tried them all. My favorite is called trois pistoles and its basically a belgian dark with some fruitiness (I think from the yeast), and an interesting malt taste. I'm...
