So I have a minor dilemma. I've got a baltic porter that has been in primary for three weeks, it is done fermenting (8.5% ABV, woo-hoo) and I want to transfer it over onto some oak cubes I picked up from AHS. Problem is I only want to do about 3/4 of the batch on the oak and then leave the rest...

I'm wondering if these two bases can produce a fairly similar beer. Here is why I ask: I brewed a pumpkin ale (minus the pumpkin) back in september with a Vienna base (partial mash, so extract made up the rest of the base) and it produced a decent beer. I was happy with it. Fast forward to...

Any thoughts on this. I want to take advantage of the AHS $20 kits but don't really want to buy new yeast. I have the English Ale yeast washed and ready to make a starter but not sure how it will affect an APA or if it would just be weird. Still fairly new to all the different yeast strains.

So a new brewery in town, Jester King, has a Oak barrell aged Mild that the SWMBO loves and I am somewhat fond of. So I figured I would work out my own recipe and see what happens. Here is what I have so far (Partial Mash): 3lbs DME 1LB Marris Otter .75LB Crystal Malt 60L 8oz Belgian...

So on for my sixth batch I did the Piloncillo Brown Ale kit from AHS. It was partial mash and I brewed it up on 11-20-10. It took a while to really get rolling on fermentation (nearly 50 hours after pitching) but after that all was good. I took a final hydro on 12-18 and had 5.1% alcohol. It had...
