ok so my butterbeer was more like an amber but I really didn't know anything about what I was reciping I just winged it. Buuutt I can't wait to show you my finished bottled Mead. Appropriately named Felix Felicis :) ill upload pics soon

I think it is time for me to go at it again, since you guys are having some general luck with better recipes. If we all keep tweaking we will get it!... LHBS here I come!

I am curious as to how this comes out. Let me know. I finished and drank my version and it was NOTHING like HP ButterBeer.. it was like a reallly sparkly amber.. not bad by any means.. but had no sweet taste to it.. I even added a TON of butterscotch shnapps during fermentation and 1st rack...

mine, doesnt really taste like butterbeer at all but it is good.. i think my next batch will be alot different since I will be doing a full 5 gallon batch and not just 2 gallons.. haha.. let me know how ya'lls turn out :)

I keep hearing that you can get a good buttery taste just from the diacetyl(sp).. but I again am very curious to see what you guys think about your final outcome.

Slider- Thanks I kinda needed that. I guess I do need to do alot more research. :/ I will keep a keeping on. I guess I was looking more for adjustments. I knew it prob wasn't right and have seen some similar but tweaked em quite a bit.. shrug Goosta- I was going to use the vanilla and a lil...

and by 'desert' I meant 'dessert'

OK. I really have no idea whatsoever.. none. I have never even brewed. Like I said I just looked at recipes and said hmm idk how does this sound. so you TELL me. I was going to use malts not extract. But again I have no idea. I am just looking for a desert type fun beer something along the lines...

ScottyC how would you adjust it if you were doing real butterscotch and only 3 gallons. I know you guys have calculations for sugar and stuff. I want to make a batch myself and I am going to work on making a good butterscotch syrup. And you were adding it at bottling or in the 2nd? Also did...

Any suggestions on how to alter it? This is actually going to be my first brew.. and I just looked around and stole general guides and made what looked like a decent recipe... Like I said I am looking for a heavier buttery taste.. buttery and nutty. buttery and nutty ahaha. I would really...

BTW I was looking at just doing 3 gallons. In separate 1 gallon jugs

Let me know how you think it will turn out.. or how to modify it I am trying to make something sweeter, butterier, nuttier, smoother.. more of a candy beer.. if there was such a thing but still beery.. 2lb Pale 1lb Crystal 60 1lb Chocolat .5oz Crystal 60min .5oz Styrian Goldings...

How did THIS butterbeer ever turn out? I know there is another thread and they are working on some right now but I would love to hear what everyone is saying about the flavors they are getting

Ya the only reason I questioned Monin syrup was because they don't have preservatives.. but I feel like the real deal would be better.. tho I asked a friend who brews and he thinks it can almost be done without the additives but I believe it would be better to make it a little more flavorful and...

Hmm. I did not Know that about the flavorings but that makes perfect sense. Again I think the real thing with any flavoring is the way to go, just like to throw ideas around. -My Dumbledore Mead I am still trying to figure out.. not sure if he would be drinking just a oak aged mead or if it...
