Hello all, just signed up to the site as I was hoping to get some input. I have been homebrewing cider for a few months and have been using the same recipe, very simple setup, so far my friends and I have really enjoyed the cider I produce but this batch I wanted to change up the...

I made what was called a "Honey Kolsch" the other day, but I fermented it with US-05. It tastes pretty good, but I don't think it would be right to call it a Kolsch... For 5G 6 lb Gold Malt Extract 1 lb Honey 1 oz Vanguard (AA 6.0%) @60 min 1 oz Vanguard (AA 6.0%) @30 min 11.5g US-05 American...

I had gone online a while back looking for a Guinness clone. I pretty much followed it to a T except to add an additional half Lb. of Maris Otter. It came out very good but more like the draught than the Guinness that I wanted to make. It was lacking that mouth feel that I wanted. But, I'm...

Hey all long time reader first time posting, I’ve been making wine and beer for about 3 years now and spirits for about 2 and I e been a chef for 13 years. I just got a hold of 10kilos of pasturized honey for free from the restaurant and thought I would try to make mead. However I’m not sure...

Hey folks used a wine pump and head space eliminator on a med show mead and I don't think anything got in my fermenter. That being said I have a film on top of the mead that I believe might just be yeast floating on the surface but I was curious if anyone else thought otherwise. Also has anyone...

Hi all, After figuring out our preferred honey mixture (2/3 random dark honey, 1/3 buckwheat honey) I resolved to make three gallons. Whenever I up a recipe, I worry that I'm going to forget to multiply one of the ingredients properly. This is Bray's 3-day mead I'm talking about. When I...

Hello, I have recently started making mead because of the mead BOMM recipe due to the quick turn around time, however I was not successful in this endeavor and cannot figure out why. I have come here seeking the assistance on the issue in hopes of getting it resolved. Here is the link to the...

Anybody have any tasty recipes for a partial mash honey wheat beer? I've been looking around and am a newbie so I am trying to figure one out, proportions and all, for a 5 gallon batch. I listed what I have below, but I'm curious to see if anyone has any favorites or suggestions. Holler at me...

I've started a batch of mead over a week ago and I have a few questions. I'm hoping you mead folks can help me with some info or point me in a direction to look. My first question is about honey. I was given a lucky gift of 10lbs of local honey from a bee-keeper (apiarist?) and I decided to use...

I recently gave a friend a really simple extract recipe for a honey wheat beer that I had a lot of success with. The recipe calls for a pound (16 oz) of honey in the last 5 min. of boil. My friend made it and told me his original gravity was 1.063, but it should have been around 1.036. We...

This is my first Hefeweizen. Brewing this for our annual week at our family camp. Love Hefe's but am certainly no expert in the style. My plan is an easy drinking, thirst quenching hefe with some subtle honey mixed in with the banana/clove undertones that should develop from the strain of yeast...

I'm getting ready to do my first batch of beer. I think I'm going to do something very similar to the "Orange Blossom Special" on this site. It will contain 6 lbs of DME wheat. The recipe calls for 2lbs of honey. I am told that adds to the alcohol content. I'm not looking for a huge buzz...

I just tasted this Honey Orange Wheat beer at Rogue's Portland Public House during Zwickelmania (so rad) and I must have it! It's the kind of beer you can quaff on a hot sticky afternoon while listening to baseball on the radio. Anyone know of a good clone?
