I'm currently crashing my latest 100% Brett Trois IPA and am stuck on what to make re-using the cake. I've only done tripels, saisons, blonds & IPAs with all brett before, so am trying to figure out something different to try with it before I re-use it again to ferment a rye berliner. I was...

From all i've seen about Belma, they sound like its either pretty mellow or an intense strawberry & melon. Also seems like the consensus is they are a bit underwhelming on their own so I'm thinking some Nelson Sauvin should liven it up. If the berry/melon notes come out, figure honey malt would...

I'm kegging a pale ale with conan yeast this weekend and looking to do a IIPA with some of the cake. How's this sound? 5.5gal, OG: 1.09ish, IBUs: 120ish, SRM 7ish 15# 2-row (75%) 3# rye (15%) 0.5# Honey Malt (2.5%) 0.5# Viennna (2.5%) 1# sugar (5%) 2oz CTZ @60 2oz CTZ @30 2oz CTZ...

SWMBO wants to make a beer to give away for Xmas. we came up with milk stout with vanilla, cocoa, bourbon & oak. this is my first milk stout and will be first time using cocoa so please give suggestions if something seems out of line. I want the chocolate to be there but not over-powering and...

been too long since i've made an IPA, any thoughts on this? fairly common hop combo, but trying out some nelson in the mix for something a lil different. 5.5gal batch, 1.071 OG, 84 IBUs, 7 SRM 13.5lbs NW pale 0.75lbs white wheat 0.75lbs C20 3oz CTZ @15 1.5oz Amarillo @5 1.5oz...

I plan on making a oktoberfest & doppelbock this weekend. The idea is to more or less mash 10gals of oktoberfest and concentrate nearly half into a doppelbock. Currently, I'm too lazy to do a decoction, but we'll see. This is a first of both styles for me, so any advice/suggestions is welcome...

I want to make an American saison to try out the new WLP585 yeast. I definitely want a hop presence, but I still want to be able to see what this yeast brings, so I'm thinking something houblon chouffe-esqe for the schedule. I'll be splitting the batch with 550 to help get a feel on it (and...

I'm planning on doing a new IIPA this weekend. I keep changing around my hop schedule so just looking for some feedback on it. I have plenty more of each of these hops, plus cascade, citra, & others if you think there is a better pairing. 5gal batch, 1.089 OG, 106 IBUs, 7.5 SRM 12lbs Pils 2lbs...

I need to clear some space for some new hops, do you think this would be too muddied (6 varieties) or will it work well? I'm open to other suggestions on hop schedule as well. For now I'm skipping a dry hop since I'm trying to make room sooner than later. 5gal batch 1.061 OG, "100" IBUs...

Next week I plan on making a nice big RIS to have ready for my bday this fall. I'm trying to finish off some hops in it, so its a bit hoppier than I'd normally go for. Let me know if you have any suggestions/concerns 5gal batch 1.100 OG, 1.02 FG, 85 IBUs 10lbs Marris Otter (50%) 3lbs...

I need to brew beer for a friends wedding this fall, so I'm making a test batch this weekend. They were thinking something like hennepin, but I'm thinking a blond w/ a lil bit of spices might go over better with the general public. Let me know what you think. 5gal batch, 1.057 OG, 30 IBUs, 4...

I gotta brew a Brown for a friends wedding later this year so I'm doing a test batch this weekend. Any thoughts on how this looks? 5gal batch 1.056 OG, 30IBUs, 23 SRM 8lbs Marris Otter 1lb Munich 10L 0.75lb Crystal 60 0.5lb Special B 0.5lb Pale Chocolate 0.5oz Apollo @60 0.5oz Mt...

I've been sitting on 0.5lb of zythos waiting to hear some more reviews (they seem mixed), but figured was about time to just use some and find out for myself. I figured I'd make them present, but not hugely in case im not a fan. I can always dry hop in the keg later as well. let me know what you...

I've made a few english barleywines, but thought id switch it up and try an american one this time. Plus I have a Pacman cake freeing up, so it seemed like a good pairing. I went at it like a really malty IIPA, but with way less late hops (too much less?). Let me know if you have any thoughts...

I love using brett and have been meaning to get around to doing an all brett IPA, so I'm finally going to do it this weekend. I think some nice fruity hops like citra & galaxy should go real well with the brett. let me know what you think 5gal, 1.07ish OG, 1.01ish FG, 60ish IBUs 10lbs pils...
