i'm doing 1 gallon batches. i used to do 5 gallon batches before, but i got sick of cleaning up and gave up brewing. then found brooklyn brew shop book and got back into brewing. before i quit brewing with 5 gallon, i never did AG before. during the holiday, i did belgian blone. however, it...

it's belgian blone. i put some cherry in it, but i'm not tasted cherry anywhere. i should have crushed it before putting them in. but the main question is, this brew doesn't taste anywhere i want it to be. it's was very light, and refreshing, but it's missing maltiness. i'm not sure if it's...

back 10 yrs ago when i used to brew 5 gal batch, it was all malt extract or extract with specialty grain. over the holidays, i decided to brew all grain 1 gal batch of imperial stout. however, that seems like too much of trouble. so i decided on belgian blone. everything went ok. i brought...

recipe? i don't need no stinking.. actually, i don't have one. i'm reading few books and finding out what's a good grain bill for it. i like guinness mainly, to me that is, it tastes like cold espresso. so i'm going to add crushed coffee beans. i like my porter/stout with touch of honey in the...

i also brewed first mead past sat., and pitched the yeast at over 120 degree F. after one day, it was foaming up nicely and now after 4 days, the airlock is popping up nicely. i only used orange blosson honey (about quart in volume), water, and yeast. i'm waiting to see what happens...
