    Pick the real Tiger Lager - Base Recipe Included

    I tried to recreate my favorite beer from SE Asia. I go there often and want to recreate the brew when I'm back in the states. I did a 90 minute boil and fermented with Bravarian Lager at 52 degrees but didn't get as much Lager profile as I wanted. Next time I'll use a Pilsner Lager yeast...

    BIAB Recirculating Rig - First Brew

    My first brew with the new BIAB single tier recirculating system. It went extremely well. Now I just need to hook up the temperature controllers for the burner. Here are a couple brew day pics. I brewed a clone of Mack & Jacks African Amber.

    Brew In A Bag RIMS system

    I deleted my old thread because frankly I got bored of it. I love the brew in a bag technique but I hate the temp control of the mash. I was going to brew a Brutus 10 clone but wanted more flexibility and didn't wan't to abandon the simplicity of the BIAB. I don't know if anyone has built a...

    Tiger Lager Beer Recipe

    Anyone have a clone recipe for Tiger Lager Beer? I spend a lot of time in Singapore/Malaysia and I always enjoy this sweet, refreshing lager. It's not dry like the japanese lagers (kirin, sapporo, etc.); it is sweet for the tropical climate. I know it uses rice, but I'm not sure how to get it...

    I think I started a bad kegging habit

    I didn't have time to clean a keg for my latest batch of IPA. However, I did just blow foam on my Oktoberfest a day previous and it was still sealed and purged with CO2. So I just openend the Oktoberfest keg, swished with Idophor sanatizer to get rid if the trub and then transferred in the...

    Equipment needed for Belgian bottles

    I keg and also do some natural carbonation in 22oz bottles. But what do I need to but so I can bottle with corks and wires in Belgian bottles. I have a hand held capper but I'm sure that won't work. I'm brewing a Saison next and want to put all of it in Belgian bottles with corks. I...

    Brew in a Bag Pumpkin Ale

    I did a BIAB Pumpkin ale tonight with a 20 minute protien rest at 125deg. I used real pie pumpkin that I roasted last night at 350 for 1.5 hours. Then I mashed for 1.5 hours at 155 deg. After the mash was done the entire 4 lbs of pumpkin meat was converted. I couldn't find a piece in the tun...

    Brew in Bag Convert

    I'm a brew in the bag convert. I had a beautiful Mash Tun and made fantastic all grain beers. I bought a huge nylon bag from Austinhomebrew and am now mashing in my 11gallon brew pot over the burner with 80% efficiency. I did a protein mash for the first time on this Belgian Wit and it made...

    Wit that smells like poo

    I've brewed at least 50 batches without any contamination including a couple wits. However my latest Wit has a hint of poo. Anyone else have this in any of their beers? I drank about a liter of it tonight and I'm still alive. The color, and clarity and flavor is still OK. Just the smell is...

    Double Conical Project nearly complete

    I designed this double conical in solidworks. It's almost complete. I just need to assemble the other side then clean the heck out of it. The cones are removeable so it should be easy. Man, I never thought I'd get this project done. More pictures to follow. The rotating racking arm...

    Lager question....

    After 15 successful ale batches this year I attempted my first lager last night. I innoculated the wort with 2 pouches of saflager and left in my garage which is a balmy 48°. Should I have started the fermentation warmer and then cooled or can I start the fermentation at 48°? I don't see...

    Dunkles Weissbier Weihenstephaner Dunkel Clone

    Notes I brewed this and compared it to the original Weihenstephaner Dunkel Weizen and it is dead on in color and taste. I can't tell you which one I liked better because they actually tasted nearly identical. If you want an authentic Dunkel-Weizen then this is the beer to brew. Happy...

    Banana Bread Holiday Ale

    You've never had anything like this before. This ale utilizes the sweet banana esters of the Wyeast Weihenstephan yeast to bring out a smooth, banana bread taste. The flaked oats give a soft mouthfeel. The specialty grains give a hint of nutty bread. This will be the Edwort's Apfelwein of...
