This is an EXPERIMENTAL recipe. I haven't brewed it yet. Brew at your own discretion. The Ginger Stole Xmas This should be a Scottish ale flavored with the same spices used in ginger snap cookies, but without the trouble from actually putting ginger snap cookies in the boil. (The molasses...

This is one of my "80 Beers in 80 Weeks" recipes. I'm brewing small, 1gal or 1/2gal batches trying to use items found in common kitchens. For this recipe I didn't need anything special from any homebrew store, except for ingredients. :fro: "Little Harold" Category #1: Weizen/Weissbier...

Mine was looking a little green while watching the Brewmasters episode on chicha, but she held it down. Anybody else?

Transitioning from Mr Beer? You can try my "Simple" recipes without steeping or mashing. Really, though, steeping and mashing is pretty easy. I'd encourage you to make the leap. :) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- From Recipator: Category...

So, last spring I accidentally carbonated some Edwort's Apfelwein (modified) by using sorbate but not adding meta. (I didn't know you needed both to stabilize a wine.) It ended up being pretty good, and it didn't have a yeast cake, so I said to myself, "I gotta try this again sometime!" The...

This is my 1000th post in ~6 mo's. I have learned SOOOOOO much about brewing, I'm really grateful to all of you and to this site. Rock on, more brews to come! :rockin:

So when my fiancee (at the time, now Mrs. Justibone) and I decided we wanted to brew a wine for our wedding, we eventually selected an Island Mist kit, blackberry merlot to be specific. The cost was about $80, so it's not the cheapest kit out there... it's a medium price kit IMO. We bought...

I have a question: has anyone ever purchased a wine kit with concentrate, and then not diluted it as per the instructions? I'd like to see if concentrated juice could give a hint of the wonderfulness of ice wine, but at a fraction of the price. I know that the wine kit concentrates are acid...

This is a super-easy stout recipe for people who are transitioning from all-liquid kits such as Mr. Beer or Munton's. The color: too light. Boiling the extract extra time darkens it a bit, though. The flavor: too bitter. Less hops, or less boil time, might be helpful. Aroma hops might be...

Yep, here it is: how to make *real* jailhouse fermented beverages. Try at your own risk! :cross: http://blacktable.com/gillin030901.htm

Hello! My name is Justin, and my fiancee and I are new to homebrewing. The first time I tried brewing was with a Mr. Beer kit 14 years ago, and in just the last year or so I've been interested in trying again. The Mr. Beer was a total failure, of course, because they told me to use table...
