I followed pretty closely the Thunderstruck Pumpkin recipe at https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f76/thunderstruck-pumpkin-ale-ag-extract-versions-26699/. For the spice, 1.5 tsp of pumpkin pie spice was added ~10 minutes left in the boil. Before adding the yeast I taste tested the sample and the...

Hi. Any Feedback on the following recipe? Wifey wants me to try something like the Blue Moon Spring Ale. From what I can tell it looks like an American Wheat but not a very high percentage of wheat malt. Others think it has both lemon and orange peel, which I'll probably add at the end of...

Thanks. I was adding the malto dextrin because the recipe I was going from had Carapils for more body and I was thinking the malto dextrin would add body without a lot of flavor. Maybe the biscuit malt will take care of that anyway? I've never used malto dextrin and I don't really know what...

Hi, I came up with this based on other Redhook ESB recipes I've seen. I don't care about an exact clone, just something yummy. I'll do my first mini mash because I wanted to try the Biscuit malt. I know most Redhook ESB recipes don't use NB hops, but I have some lying around. Any...

Thanks everyone. What I had read about black patent was that it adds color but not as much flavor. Glad to have that straightened out now. And I have been doing subsequent batches with just light DME. This porter was one of my first non-kit beers so I just took a recipe and made some small...

I brewed a porter a few months ago and it has what I call a strong roasty flavor. I think it is somewhat too strong of one flavor although I have given it to many friends who like it. I assume it is the Roasted barley in the recipe below causing the strong flavor. Any comments on what i...

All kinds of mistakes tonight. Now I forgot the aroma hops in my robust porter. I was going to add 1 oz of tettnanger pellets for aroma but forgot them. Should I just forget it altogether or add them after fermentation is complete? I wasn't going to rack to a secondary this time, but is it...

Thanks all 3 of you for the quick advice. The secondary is not producing noticable CO2 through the airlock so I'll cap that with foil and use the airlock. And I'll start another thread about forgetting to add the aroma hops. Now leave them out alltogether or dry hop, which I have never tried...

Hi there. I've just finished a 60 minute boil and realized my only airstopper is already occupied in a secondary fermenter. Today's brew is going in my 5 gallon pail to ferment. Should I cover the little hole where the airstop usually goes or just leave it open? I'm thinking leave it open...

Brewing only my second batch. Using extract. Followed the recipe Who's in the Garden Grand Cru in the Joy of Homebrewing book. This recipe is a Belgian Wit beer, with honey, coriander seed and orange peel. I put it in the primary fermenter with a starting gravity of 1.051. The wort was a...
