Hi! So, last night I made my first mead with: 3.3 lbs of honey (basic "floral honey" (I'm not sure how else to translate the name of the honey I used (I'm from Norway (yeah, I know, vikings and stuff, I should know how to make mead ;) )))) a little more than 1 gallon of water (around 4...

Hi! I have 9 batches under my belt before this one; kits, partial mash and one all grain - and all have turned out pretty good. Except this one, my first stout. Let me first describe the off flavors from hell: I took a hydrometer reading today (after 20 days in the primary). It was 1.026...

Hi brewers! Two weeks ago I brewed a Amarillo/Pale Ale Malt SMaSH, first all-grain, hit OG as planned at 1.051 using BIAB, about 6,4 lbs (2,9 kg) of pale ale malt (11 liter batch), and the following hop additions (pellets): 15 g amarillo @ 60 mins 7 g amarillo @ 15 7 g amarillo @ 10 7 g...

First, I haven't posted much here, but ten thousand million thanks to everyone else who have posted and from which I've learned a lot! :mug: 1 year ago I knew nothing about homebrewing. Sometime in august 2010 I started researching how to brew beer, and quickly discovered HBT :rockin: Eight...

Hello brewers! I just bottled my first Wit, and felt like sharing some beerpr0n :) I'm not sure yet if it's more a hefeweissen or a wit - I couldn't get Wit yeast, so I used WLP 380 hefeweizen IV - but during bottling it was mainly banana/bubblegum flavors, and some citrus - really awesome! I...

Hi, I'm planning a Wit for the summer! :) I have 5.5 lbs of Munton's Wheat DME (55 % wheat, 45 % barley). Will it be good using just the DME (+ of course orange,coriander,belgian yeast, maybe chamomile), or should I try a mini-mash with flaked wheat, flaked oats and some basic pale ale malt...

Hi brewers & brewettes! So, I'm trying to add yeast washing/reusing/parenting to my brew craft repertoire. I'm a newbie, but like many I'm very fascinated by the little yeasties + they're quite expensive here in Norway (like, $8 for a pack of Nottingham, $10-15 for liquid), so in the long run I...

Hello fellow brewers! A newbie here, with 1 successfull batch under his my belt. I've learned a lot from HBT and is very grateful for HBT's existence and I learn more about home brewing every day :) But now I have a quick yeast question. (Well, it turned out to be a pretty detailed question, but...

Hello wonderful forum, and thanks for a great source of knowledge! :) I'm pretty new to the hobby, and (lack of) space/equipment/money makes it easiest for me to brew with simple pre-hopped LME kits. I've done one successful batch based on a really cheap kit, and I have a christmas/winter ale...

Hi! First of all, thanks to everyone for a fantastic forum, which has taught me a lot about brewing! I'm still pretty new here and in homebrewing, though, and now I'm looking for some advice from you nice people! :) Sometime this week I'll "brew" a holiday ale for christmas/winter. I don't...
