Not that this is particularly useful to anyone else, but I used SnickASaurusRex's method found here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/20-lb-sugar-jar-yeast-nutrient-114837/ this week and was pretty successful on my first attempt. I was shooting for the 290 degree double stage, but my coloring...

I'm at about 60 hours after pitching Notty at 60F. I have krausen and steady airlock activity, but the wort (or almost beer?) itself shows no visible signs of fermentation. No yeast clouding it up, no color change, no currents, no swirling show of trillions of hungry little beasts. I've never...

Same ingredients as BierMuncher's Centennial Blonde in different proportions. A bit heavier, definitely hoppier. Might not please the masses, but I think it's a fantastic summer beer. Leans more toward the pale ale side maybe. Thanks to BM for the inspiration. Recipe Specifications...

This is my first try at an AG dubbel and I'm aiming for a complex dark fruit, toasty, toffee malt profile...if that makes sense to anyone else. Something along the lines of Maredsous 8. I also really enjoyed Wesmalle 8, but I'm having a hard time remembering what it actually tastes like. Anyway...

I bottled what is supposed to be an orange wheat a week ago but, I got zero orange aroma or flavor out of it. I added 2oz of fresh, diced orange peel to the last 5 minutes of the boil and another 1.5 into the primary for 4 days. I cut off pretty much all the white. How much orange does it...

I built a SOF style chamber with a modified cooling chamber design. I built two staggered shelves on one side and cut out the dead space on the other. I did this because I don't have the ability to freeze large bottles. Anyway, I can keep a 5 gallon carboy consistently at 50F (about 25 degrees...

I would greatly appreciate it if any of you more experienced brewers would look over these two recipes and let me know if anything looks off track. BeerSmith Recipe Printout - http://www.beersmith.com Recipe: Toasted Oat Stout Brewer: Asst Brewer: Style: Oatmeal Stout TYPE: Partial...

So I'm trying my first lambic(ish) this weekend and going with plum...question is how much should I add? I plan on pitting the plums, mashing them up a bit, pasteurizing, racking the beer on top of them in the secondary, and pitching Wyeast's lambic blend. I can't seem to find any guidelines or...
