Two local breweries here in NH, Portsmouth Brewery and I believe Throwback Brewery, did a collaboration for Portsmouth Beer Week which was a take on a Mexican Mole. It was really good. One piece of advice that I have read about the subject is that a little goes a long way, especially using...

Should be fine, yeast are eating up some sugars from the cherries+extract. Let it ferment out and be sure it is done fermenting before you bottle (take gravity readings 3 days separated once you see the krausen fall back down...if they're the same then you should be good) Sounds interesting -...

I made a half batch of the Orange Hefe and I now wish I had made more - great summertime beer. I'm actually trying the same idea now to make a Raspberry Wheat. I made a ginger saison that is really refreshing and dry which should be a great lawn mower beer. Finally I've got a Zombie Dust...

It does, thank you!

Thanks Pappers, I've been wanting to try this so I'll give it a whirl

Sorry to jack your thread, just have a question that I've been wondering about for a little while. When you say you pitched right onto the yeast cake, do you mean you literally poured your wort on top of the cake leftover at the bottom of your fermenting vessel after racking? Or do you scoop...

I'm probably a day late here, but aside from the obvious IPA as you had stated, I would suggest a nice Belgian Trippel. You should be able to get Allagash there, and their Trippel is pretty good. Ommegang's Trippel Perfection gets good reviews and should be available for you I assume, but I...

The fact that Rogue treats their employees like garbage makes me not go out of my way anymore to drink their stuff

Hey Everyone, Thank you again for the feedback and advice. I brewed this one on Saturday, here is what I ended up going with: 0.25lb Carapils Steep @ 155F for 20 Minutes 5lbs Pilsner DME 1lb Wheat DME 3oz Corn Sugar (45 min) 0.25oz Sorachi Ace (60 min) 0.50oz Sorachi Ace (30 min)...

Great advice, thank you I appreciate it! I'll dial back on the bittering and ginger (I think I'll try 0.50oz if it's decent ginger - I'd rather have too little than too much). Good to know about the 3711. :mug:

Thanks for the feedback : ) I need to check the % on the pellets when I get home, but playing around with brewersfriend and taking your advice I think you're right on the amount. Here is what I got changing the bittering around: 5lb Pilsen DME 1lb Wheat DME 0.5lb Corn Sugar 0.25oz...

Any input guys? Thank you!

Hi Everyone, I posted this in the Extract forum, but I figured I would try here as well and see if I get more responses...here we go: Hi Everyone, My LHBS has some Sorachi Ace in stock, so I was thinking of brewing up something using this hop. I like the idea of a Saison for this one...

Bumping, any other suggestions? Anyone have experience with using ginger or making saisons? Thanks

Hi Everyone, My LHBS has some Sorachi Ace in stock, so I was thinking of brewing up something using this hop. I like the idea of a Saison for this one, what do you think of this recipe? 5lb Pilsner DME 1lb Wheat DME 0.50oz Sorachi Ace (60 min) 1oz Sorachi Ace (20 min) 0.50oz Sorachi...
