Very puzzling. Ferment temps look good, and roasted grains seem in check. hops seems incredibly low too. Only suggestion I can think of is to give it a few months of age and see. I did a coffee porter not to long ago that had an insane bite due to either overdoing the roast grains or leaving the...

i was thinking of mashing at 154. also if it helps I was inspired to brew this because of traquair jacobite and old chub. So hopefully what I come up with will be similar in taste if not a bit sweeter and with some more alcohol.

I had some grains and hops sitting around for a brown ale and now I'm getting the hankering for a wee heavy while I'm still stocked on homebrew and can let it age. So after listening to the Jamil show episode on strong scotch ales, I decided to work on a recipe around my brown ale grains. I...

I would suggest listening to the show before attempting this, there is quite a few quirks I didn't expect when first tasting it. I didn't know from trying it that you had to use toasted wheat. Diverse hop schedule too.

I was thinking of making a wit-braggot with some yeast from a lindeman gueuze. Thought it would make a delicious grassy funky sour mead. Thanks for the input I will adjust my hop additions to get some more hop kick in the aroma.

http://hopville.com/recipe/416303/home-brew/imperial-indian-braggot I know what using honey in an ale can dry it up, so I tried to go light (using what I guess is 3 lbs or 1/4 a gallon). I also added 1 pound of honey malt and 1 pound of crystal to add more sweetness to the final product...

oh and lakeridge winery is an interesting experience if you are into that. picked up some of their muscadine juice last time I went, waiting on my pyment to finish still. I need to check out tampa bay brewing.

cigar city, orlando brewing, if you have the time Effinheimer is a nice small brewery that is only an hour or so from orlando.

hmmm, anytime I tell someone about brewing beer it always seems I am boring them. My girlfriend and dad are the only ones that seem to like listening to my ramblings(aside from this forum).

Vegetarian here, but my family keeps a decent garden. I will probably try to grow some hops when I am able.

I would pick some up if I could.

Good luck with this. I got my summer blond in primary now. Also my first attempt at making my own recipe.

I am still new to making my own recipes, but if it was mine I would probably do 1 oz of saaz + .5 oz cascade at 60 and use the other .5-1 oz cascade at 15-0 minutes depending on your preference. I think the citrus aroma could be beneficial to a refreshing summer beer. good luck.

yeah after reading about how turbinado can add hints of that raw flavor to the beer I have been thinking of using a mix to get it to a higher gravity. thanks for the readings. I'll try this recipe with some dark crystals as soon as I get my keggle cut.. 5 gallons wont cut it.

My goal at some point is to create a 15-20% abv barley wine using the methods in the dogfish 120 ipa clone. The use of 11 lbs of dextrose per 5 gallon batch and only about 16 lbs of pilsner makes me wonder what that corn sugar will do to the taste. Will this be productive to making that...
