    Autumn Seasonal Beer Richard's Pumpkin Ale

    Are you going to use the maple syrup? I substituted it with 2lbs Light DME and found it to be sweet enough. Any sweeter and it would have been cloying.

    Ginga Kogen Star Bottle - Bottled Yeast Question

    hey I just tried the sample I've had in my fridge again. Initially, it tasted a bit citrus-sour but it's been a week and it now tastes like a banana bomb. So I'm positive this is the yeast used in fermentation. I'm gonna put it in edwort's hefeweizen recipe and see how it goes. I have high...

    Autumn Seasonal Beer Richard's Pumpkin Ale

    Excellent recipe. I followed exactly except for the pumpkin amounts. I used 1 can American pumpkin puree in the mash and 1kg cubed and baked Japanese kabocha squash. All my friends loved this one. Thank you for the great recipe!!

    Old Extract or Over-carbonation or Infection = My Sour beer???

    Can anyone diagnose this? I made an extract beer last spring with Black Rock Miners Stout extract that turned out a quite sour/cidery. This particular can was found in my closet and 2 or 3 years past it's best-by date. Unfortunately I didn't keep records so I can't give exact details of...

    Experience ordering grains to Japan

    I see that you're brewing some pretty interesting beers!! I like that you've used some local ingredients. Keep us posted on how the delivery of those grains from Farmhouse Brewing Supply goes. If it works out well I'd like to use them too!

    Experience ordering grains to Japan

    Hey! Thanks for the reply. I dunno if you've used Advanced Brewing, but I'm having a lot of trouble with them repeatedly screwing up....I'd love to be able to not deal with them. So sad since the first time I ordered everything went great! Too bad I'm far from Tokyo or maybe we could have...

    Experience ordering grains to Japan

    Hi! Does anyone have any experience ordering grains or other ingredients from abroad to Japan? I'm wondering about customs fees, legality, etc. I've recently experienced a bit of trouble with one of the few domestic venders here and want to order elsewhere if possible. Thanks!
