So I have a recipe for a Saison I'm planning to brew. My recipe calls for 9lb Pils, 2 lb Wheat, and 8 oz dextrose. I'm holding on to a bunch of maris otter right now, and I'm wondering if that would an ok substitute for the Pils. What kind of change in flavor could I expect from that substitute?

I'm looking to take another crack at a berliner weisse. This time I'm going with the no boil method. I want to use Pils as the base malt because that's traditional. DMS formation is still something I'm a little unclear about. I know pils malt has a lot of DMS precursors, so when you boil you...

I want to brew another beer for the wife. She loved the first beer I did for her, which was basically a gumballhead clone. This time I'm wanting to take a stab at her favorite style. Saison. The recipe is pretty basic, but i'm looking for some input. As a note, once it's out of primary I was...

In case any of you hadn't seen this, Stone posted this link to their facebook page today. I'm hoping to give this a shot in the next few months. http://blog.stonebrewing.com/index.php/dogfish-head-victory-stone-saison-du-buff-homebrew-recipe/

This is my first attempt at this style. I've been working on this recipe for a bit, and me and a buddy are planning on brewing it soon. I usually keg, but I plan to bottle condition this batch so that I can age it easier and possibly give some away as gifts if it turns out well. Oblivion Recipe...

I'm going to be building a stir plate soon, and I want to get a 3L Erlenmeyer as well so I can make 2+L starters with plenty of headroom. I can't find physical dimensions on these anywhere. Anyone already have one and can tell me about what the diameter of the bottom is and about how tall it is?

I have a dopplebock recipe I was planning on brewing late fall to give it plenty of time to lager for a traditional Lent release. I've never prepared a starter before as it hasn't really been necessary in the ales I've brewed. The only lager I've brewed used a starter, but it was a collaboration...

After drinking more of this I decided this really fits more as a Quick Schwarzbier than a Dunkel. A bit to roasty for a Dunkel. Grain Bill: 9 # German Munich 1 # German Pils .5 # German Carafa III .25 # Melanoidin Hops: 1.75 oz Hallertauer Mittlefruh 4.7% AA @60 Min Water Treatment: Start with...

So, my buddy is an avid player of the Sci-Fi MMORPG EVE Online. He's also an avid Reddit reader. There is a corporation (group of players in game) run by a bunch of reddit folks called Dreddit. As part of the application process for joining the group he has to do an 'Arts and Crafts' submission...

So I carbed my most recent beer with a carbstone. I've done this before, but I've always removed the carbstone after carbbing. This time I decided to just leave it in there. Is there any reason not to do this? The difference I'm noticing as that the pressure coming out of the faucet doesn't seem...

I keg all my homebrew in standard corny kegs. However sometimes the occasion arises that I want some commercial beer in kegs. Until recently I always just took my corny up to one of our local breweries and they'd fill that for me. I wanted more flexibility so I got a low profile tavern head. The...

This is more of a curiosity question than something I actually plan to try. I know a lot of commercial brewers pasteurize their beer. I was always under the impression that pasteurization was done by applying heat to the liquid. In beer wouldn't this cause DMS to form again? Obviously it...

So, i work at a brewery and we occasionally sample brews from other breweries. One of our delivery drivers had 5 cans of this that he found in a house he was cleaning out a few years back. We all decided to open one and pour samples to see if it was at all drinkable. The seals were all...

I just had this beer for the first time tonight. Holy crap! It's easily one of the best double IPA's I've ever had. The hops were incredible, and the malt was the perfect amount to stand up to the bitterness. Seriously, I wish I didn't have to drive out of state to get it. It was well worth the...

This is based loosely on Morkin's All Grain Imperial Berliner Weisse. I decided I wanted something more traditional though. So I subbed Pils for the US 2 Row, which meant a longer boil for DMS. I also lowered the gravity dramatically for the more traditional low-alcohol Grain Bill: 3 #...

So I managed to get a plastic keg because it has a huge crack in the bottom. I'd like to convert it to an MLT. The crack isn't an issue because it's the part of the bottom I'd just cut out for an opening. The problem I have is that the opening at the top isn't the same size as a standard keg...

So, here's a recipe I've been working on for a while, but I haven't had a chance to brew it yet. This is where it's at currently. I'm looking for any input you all might have. Uncle Ted's Wee Heavy Recipe Type: All Grain Yeast: Wyeast 1728 - Scottish Ale Yeast Starter: None Additional...
