A little over a week ago, I began brewing up a Highland Heavy Ale. It sounded good and didn't strike me a having a bitter taste, but I recently found out that its fairly bitter, even leaves an after taste.

Does anyone have a recipe for this? I tried it this evening with 3/4 cup of sugar, 1 1/2 tsp of the extract with one liter of club soda. Boiled the water, disolved sugar and added the extract then let it cool. Then I added the club soda and refrigerated. It tastes more like licorice more then...

After I got off work, I went home and changed clothes. I decided that since I was about to go to my buddies place and play my copy of the new Medal of Honor game (superb game by the way) I might as well grab some beer. Now right quick, incase someone tries to call me out as an armchair general...

I think this is the right forum. I'm lookin for ideas on how to turn my second of two 6gal buckets into a bottling bucket. I'm gonna get a spigot in a day or two and I want to stick it on the side near the bottom, I've seen pictures of others who have done this but I can't seem to find them now...

Ok so my first batch is on the down hill slide to being done and I'm thinking of my next batch. This batch will be for a football game early december, the Army Navy game to be exact. My buddy says I should do a blonde ale, my dad doesn't care as long as he can drink it but I personally am torn...

I got a hydrometer yesterday, 3 days after I started my first batch. I checked it this morning and it sank to where the liquid is level just below the 10 ring in the "beer ready" block. How do I find out what the SG is? Ill be honest, I don't know where to look or what to calculate to find the...
