    Fruit Beer Cherries in the Rain

    This recipe is based on the "Cherries in the Snow" recipe in Papazian's The Complete Joy of Homebrewing. That recipe was extract so I converted it to all-grain and changed up the hops.

    Mistake with flaked oats?

    I made my first all grain batch the other day and used Lil' Sparky's Nut Brown AG recipe almost to the letter (had to change one of the hops). The problem is, two days later it looks like the picture below: The wort looked like that since I pulled the first running from my MLT. It was...

    Hello everyone!

    Greetings everyone! I just recently got back into homebrewing after a 14 year hiatus and I ended up finding these forums after doing a google search recipes. I started homebrewing back in 1994 when my wife (my girlfriend at the time) bought me a homebrewing kit from Costco. My first two...
