Thanks everybody, as for the honey, it calls for 1.1 lbs (five gallon batch). Will adding that much honey at the end affect anything. Seems like a lot to me but this is my first time working with honey.

Hi, My extract receipe calls for 2.2oz of brown sugar but fails to mention at what point to add. All other spices/additions are at 15 and 10 min. But honey is for the full 60. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all the tips! Any experience with raw vs roasted hazelnuts? I will let you know how it turns out. Cheers

Anybody have any experience adding hazelnuts or a artifical flavor to a beer? Which is better and if using favoring when to add it? Thanks!

Beer turned out great! Great color, smell and most importantly taste. Thanks for the advice. Ipa is now in the fermenter for the second batch.

All great tips, I' m going to let it sit for a few more days then maybe switch to a carboy if I can make it to a brewing store in time. Thanks! Here's to good friends and better drink!

Thanks for info!

Irish red ale Stopped fermenting after five days in bucket( lack of bubbling and head of foam is gone). Recipe calls for 1 to 2 weeks primary 1-2 weeks secondary. 1. Have read that if you place beer in warmer room it will ferment more. current ambient temp is around 63 degrees. Should I? Does it...
