So I racked my beer, added gelatine finings and polyclar to it. Cold crashed it and did a Gravity reading 5 days after and it was still showing a hefty amount of sugar remaining. I pulled it from the fridge and added yeast in an attempt to drop the Gravity down. I checked on it today and there...
All great comments and I am seeing a theme in the comments ....less Carapils, little to no barley and avoid Citra and no dry hop. Personally I find Cluster really dull.....is there a step up from Cluster that is not too overbearing preferably adds a nice fruity undertone on the nose?
Let me know what you guys think
7 lbs 2 Row
1/2 lb Honey Malt
1/2 lb Flaked Barley
1/2 lb Flaked Maize
1/2 lb Carapils
1/2 oz Cluster @ 45mins
1 oz Citra @ FlameOut
Yeast: Any California/American Ale Yeast...I usually do San Diego Super (WLP 90) and Cream Ale mix and expedited fermentation in...
Use this for reference...while its extract you should be able to calculate how much peach you need to equate for 4 oz of peach concentrate

If you have tried Pliny the Elder and attempted the Plinian Legacy from NB you will see the overall difference between the clarity. Its pretty mind blowing how different the two are. I have used both polyclar and gelatin. I do agree the longer its in the keggerator the better it looks!
This is a 5 gal batch recipe from more beer (grain bill) hops were what I had at home. Just trying something different. I have done a standard kolsch which went down smooth as silk! I figured I would try to spice it up with some tropical fruity hops
So i like all of the feedback and will merge...
I think you are on the right track there. Did you verify your grain bill with the 21st amendment website? They post everything you need there.
If you don't care how close you get to the Back in Black, research other kits out there at northern brewer and more beer. They use chocolate or...
So i have a smashing pumpkin kit and was gonna make this for a girlfriend of mine but we aren't talking right now so instead of wasting this, i thought why not remove the pumpkin spice and change the recipe a bit. I have no experience with Amber Ales. The recipe is below. I was looking at...
Has anyone thought about combining the likes of Citra + Galaxy to a Kolsch recipe? or should I stick to a Pale Ale American Grain bill+Yeast?
Any thoughts??

hey everyone so i added my nibs to a brown ale and theres a white film on the top of my beer.....its been 4 days since i added them....2 weeks of fermenting....should i be worried??
If you are going for a honey pale ale add a few pounds of it to your grain bill. I agree that it tastes more like honey than actual additive of honey. Add 7.5 pounds of 2 ROW 1-2 pounds of honey malt and .5lbs of cara-pils and 1-1.5 oz of cluster ...maybe some maize and oats and you got a...
