So, for all interested, we tried hopping coffee and after dialing in the ratios, it was a pleasant surprise. Couple hops pellets to a kuerig cup..... Not too shabby at all.

Used honey malt so the flavor and sweetness comes through rather than upping the alcohol content, not that that's a bad thing.

Bazaar did you make it? How'd you like it????

So, I'm thinking of using this recipe with vanilla and clove added in, any thoughts?

I'm holding a glass of it right now. It's a flavorful easy drinking kinda beer. Love it, hope you give it a try. :mug:

My statement said..... Perhaps another round of "While the wort boils..." Science experiment is in order.

One of two things is happening here... Either everyone realizes the stupidity in my curiosity and I'm being trolled....... Or the homebrewing community thinks like me and the general mentality is "there must be a way." :)

So, while brewing my last batch I had half an ounce of hops left over and thought to myself, I wonder what would happen if I put this in my Kuerig and made hops tea??? Turns out it's bitter and not so hops tasting. It was overall a terrible choice. I tried adding sugar to sweeten it...

The color is amazing. If you want to make a beer that will blow your non-beer making friends away from the moment you pour it, this thing has merit on looks alone....

So I've come to learn that I don't like the bitterness part of IPA's. The hops flavor is great, but it never appealed to me the bitterness at the end. I did some research into what makes it bitter, did some more research on beer recipes and came up with this recipe. Big hops flavor and pretty...

For the record, I posted it in Scottish and Irish ales as I took an Irish red recipe, modded it pretty severely and Brewpal doesn't fit it into one category, and since I am Irish, and I made the recipe up, I deem it to be Irish in nature. It's actually an Extra Special Bitter American Amber...

So, this is a recipe I made up with the intent of having a full-flavored beer that wasn't over-bearing, too intense on the ABV and would be good to just kick back at the end of a long day and enjoy. I have to say, I am REALLY pleased with the results. Recipe is as follows: MALTS: 4# - 2-row...

Honey MALT is a type of grain, it imparts a sweeter flavor into the beer, OP used actual honey. The difference here is that a lot of the time the honey gets eaten up by the yeast as it is sugar and therefore ends up contributing more to ABV rather than really adding to flavor. What has been...

You said a pound of chocolate.... malt? baker's chocolate? When did you add it, what did you do? So many questions need answering!!! Panic! LOUD NOISES!!!!

Just curious, why'd you only use two ounces of CaraAroma?
