Lots of different ingredients will add complexity. I like to make BBQ sauce and it's easy to make a basic one with a handful of ingredients, but the best recipe I've found uses 16. But you're gonna get diminishing returns as you add more stuff. The question, IMO, is whether or not the...

Just made this up on a whim. I'm trying to pair the banana esters of a hefeweizen with a big floral/citrus hop flavor. And I think I'm going to try underpitching (just the smack pack - no starter) in order to favor ester production. Batch Size (fermenter): 5.50 gal Estimated OG: 1.039 SG...

Why did you need to buy a few pounds?

Why not just add some debittered black malt?

I prefer to mess with kids by explaining philosophy and asking their opinion. I once explained the ship of Theseus to a 9 year old and the look on his face was gold. hahaha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus

Must be a testament as how much of a metalhead I am that I didn't have any problem reading that. Looks more black metal than death, but whatev. Very very cool dude.

I'm thinking of going with The Celestial Teapot Brewing Project.
