YES! that is it. Thank you. I knew I wasn't crazy. Well maybe a little crazy.

Hello, Thank you for taking time to read this. I'm looking for a homebrew recipe in BYO magazine but I can't remember what issue it is in. We might be talking 10 years ago. It is a German style that is all barley but uses wheat beer yeast. It's not any hefeweizen styles. The story I remember...

Sorry for the late reply. It was one of those things I put off and finally got to it. I have to say I really like it. I like German smoke beer or rauchbier. This turned out like a mead rauchbier it’s maple bacon like and very smoky.

In my brew water I sparged 1 oz of lapsang souchong in my brew in a bag. Then I used the water the brew the recipe above. I only used 2.5 gallons of water instead of 3 gallons. time will tell how it turns out.

I think I'm going to change my recipe to include Lapsang Souchong. I've never heard of this tea until now. I tried a cup of it and it's one of my favorite teas.

My water amount might be off because I didn't think to take into account the honey and syrup water displacement. For my meads I have 3 gallon glass carboys. When I smoke the honey I have a vertical propane smoker. I was thinking about putting the honey in an aluminum foil pan. I was thinking it...

Thanks for taking a minute to look at my recipe idea for a smoked Acerglyn. First I'd like feedback if my thought is insane or sounds awesome or somewhere in between. A little background info, I've brewed beer for years. I'm not as versed in the mead world. I've never had a Acerglyn or mead...

It's close to cardboard. 2 weeks of fermenting.

I did try a sample of the beer. Light straw colored beer with no body and no hops.:(

Yes, since I didn't boil the beer. The Beano may still be active causing the beer to be a higher alcohol, light body beer. It's an experiment I'm curious to try and it's only around 2.5 gallons. I can drink it no problem.

I know I'm late to the party, but I was reading old threads and I decided to try a beano experiment. In the mash. My curiosity came from reading an old Mr. Wizard article about mashing with Beano...

It's a thin food grade silicone tubing I bought on Amazon. It is rated to hold up to boiling water. Being thin I've had a few problems with it and will have to replace it after a few brews.

I've been writing a blog and beer review site for a few months now. http://brewout.com/ For example I've shown how I learned to grow yeast from a bottle of dead guy ale. http://brewout.com/grown-your-own-yeast/ I've built a stir plate, that I learned on these forums...

Welcome and good luck on your brewing adventures. And it's nice to meet you also.
