We went to a Muscadine Grape Festival over the weekend, and brought home a super-score: 5 lb Supreme Muscadines 4 lb Noble Muscadines They're both purple grapes -- the Supremes are huge and really sweet. The Nobles are smaller and not quite as sweet, but still fairly sweet, all things...

Alright, I'm getting a little frustrated. I want to buy some grapes for my father, who is big into vinting from grapes. I've called distributors in my area -- produce distributors -- and no luck. I've called the 3 vinyards in my area, and none of them sell. I've surfed the net...

As the title suggests, I'm interested in making the DFH India Brown Ale from Austin HB's kit. My question is what yeast is the best to use? They choices they offer are: WLP005 Wyeast Ringwood Ale S-04 Is there one that would be better than the others for this style of beer? I'm not...

I've searched the forum, and can't find an answer to this question. I've got a peach and spice beer, it's been bottle conditioning/aging for almost 3 months. I tried one last night, with SWMBO, and determined: 1. the peach flavor diminished a bit (which is good, it was too much), 2. the...

I made this in the summer; I let it sit around and bottle condition for about 4 weeks, the began doling out samples and tastes. I've gotten nothing but positive responses - and more importantly, I enjoyed drinking the beer. My Mocha Porter: 5 gal. batch 9 lb. Amber LME 12 oz...

Backstory: my folks are coming into town for the weekend. I've been talking up homebrewing to my father for a while, and he's coming to help me rack my beer onto peaches and spices. I'd like to get him more involved in homebrewing. But he doesn't really know a lot about the flavors of beer...

Heya everybody. I have been looking around for a good holiday beer that can use peaches originally intended for a summer peach wit. Anyway... After looking here, there, and darn near everywhere, I found very little by way of recipes or ideas. So I tried to build a recipe on my own. It's...

Good afternoon all. After a trip to Boston and an experience with Boston Brick Red, I decided I wanted to try to make a clone. I'm nowhere near Boston, and so probably won't have the opportunity to have that beer again for a long time. Surfing the web garnered me no known clone recipes for...

I'd love to make one, but can't seem to find any ideas on how to go about it. I've been hunting online and haven't found anything. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

I wanted to try to create a monster chocolate porter. It's my first partial brewing experience, so I wanted something with extra oompf. I fiddled around with a bunch of recipes, and finally came up with one of my own. I'm wondering whether I've got it right, or if I've got it horribly wrong...
