It's time for me to brew a pumpkin beer. I'm looking through my log book for the supplies I need. I brewed both of these last year and both were almost great. All other things being equal, does anyone have any suggestions for the following grain bills? TIA 5 gal. grain bill 1...

I'm going to try one of the Fat Tire clone type recipes from the old posts on the forum. I've seen a few of them that mention using ~2lbs of 2-row, amber malt, Belgian malt, etc. in the mash. Do you toast the grain and then run it through the mill? Is it toasted whole and then added to the...

BOTH CONICALS ARE SOLD AND HAVE BEEN PAID FOR. THANKS HBT! I've got (2) of these from the Stouts & Kettles guy. I've put 4-6 batches through each so far with no issues. All of the o-rings & seals are good. 3/4" valves, tri-clamps. Very easy to dump yeast off of. Very cool to look at also, but...

I kegged two 5 gallon batches yesterday and had to deal with something a little out of the ordinary (for me, at least). There was a yeast cake was floating on top of all of the beer in the fermenter when I opened the lid. It actually looked like a sheet of of bread sitting on top of the beer in...

I'm getting ready to place an order from morebeer for a (legal) boil keggle conversion. I want to install a diptube similar to the one in the pic from the Blichmann website that is posted below. I'm not trying to re-engineer the Blichmann tube, I just want my diptube as close to side of the...

I know this has been posted before. I've watched the video a few times and I do not fully understand the system or the steps of the brewer's process. I'm assuming the HLT is the bottom tank on the right hand side. Does the LHS vessel in this rig serve as both the boil kettle and mashtun...

I've used the search here and tried Hoegaarden based AG clone brews two different times using both recipes posted in the AG forum and advice from my LHBS. The flavor profile I've gotten is good enough for me, but the color is really off. I care about the flavor more than the color, but I can't...

I'm brewing a beer tomorrow that called for orange peel to be added at the last 5 minutes of the boil. LHBS gave me the option of sweet and bitter orange peel, but suggested the bitter for this beer. This bitter orange peel smells fantastic, but it looks like some kind of Junior High science...

Does anyone have suggestions for a recipe that will get me close? I guess it's Newcastle'ish, but it has A LOT more going on. TIA FWIW, here is what I have in the fermenter right now: Grains: 2lbs - Pale Ale Euro, cracked 1lb - CL60, cracked 8oz - Chocolate, cracked a negligible...

This will be my first attempt at brewing with steeping grains. Any thoughts or advice on the ingredients, the times, or the process is greatly appreciated. Grains: 2lbs - Pale Ale Euro, cracked 1lb - CL60, cracked 8oz - Chocolate, cracked 0.85oz - Roasted Barley, cracked 4oz - Carapils...
