Does anyone have a recipe for Brooklyner Weisse beer from Brooklyn Brewery?

I recall that about 12 to 18 months ago, someone posted pics and details of their closed system set-up. He was an engineer who got excited about home-brewing and built his own set up. I recall that the brewpot used a digital heating element from a water heater. Then he had a digitally controlled...

Does anyone know if priming using DME will cause a low head? I made my Christmas beer in September and sampled the first one yesterday. Great taste, color and clarity but there was hardly any head at all. There was carbonation but it was rather light. Spent 11 days in the primary, 21...

That sounds like a great book and one that I'll be sure to purchase. But I was thinking more on the science and techniques of brewing. A zymotology primer, if you will. I've been brewing for about 10 years but I want to take my brewing to the next level and realize that I need to know more...

What are some of the best books on brewing? Not just recipe books, but books on the nuts and bolts of brewing. Amazon offers a great number of books, but all seem to be highly rated. Trying to find the best one to take my brewing to the next level. GPBurdell Primary: Empty Secondary...

Anyone have a good clone recipe for Sweetwater 420 Pale Ale? It's made the Atlanta microbrewery, Sweetwater Brewery.

Thanks for all the info. Takes a lot of worry off of my mind. Seems to be clearing up as time goes on. Should be able to taste in in 3 months or so. Wish I could send everyone a bottle... but I can't so I'll have to drink it myself. :p

I need some help with a problem that has developed with my most recent brew, a Christmas Saison. The primary fermentation seemed to go very well. When I transferred to the carboy on day 11 for the seconday fermentation, I noticed a number of particulants were rising to the top of the carboy...

I used White Labs San Francisco Lager Yeast, which lists a pitch temp of 65F. I don't know if Wyeast uses a different yeast profile, but I would follow the manufacturers suggestions. But you can certainly do your fermentation at the mid to upper 50's. Be aware that the fermentation takes...

Absolutely. The higher the temp the faster the burn. Steam beer casues some confusion because it uses lager yeast at ale temperatures. However, I've found it best to ferment at the temperature range between lager and ale. I start the ferment at 65F and then lower to about 55F. I'll adjust...

Does anyone have a recipe for Black Dog Ale that was brewed by Spanish Peaks Brewing Co. in Bozeman, MT? I know that they closed a few years ago but their beer was great.

You definately bottled too early. I made a batch of Steam Beer on the same weekend as you and I just bottled it yesterday. I gave it 10 days in primary and 10 days in secondary at 55 degrees. I've cellared it for at least another 7 weeks at 45 degrees. I would suggest waiting to open it...
