Charlie Papazian had toasted malted barley in a number of his recipes. I learned to brew with his New Complete Joy of Homebrewing. Put the whole grains in the oven for 10 min. at 350F. After toasting, grains are cracked and steeped. I'm not sure it actually does much for the beer, but your...

I brewed a favorite recipe today. Today I brewed Peter Cotton Ale, my IPA recipe, but with changes. I first brewed this in 2007, and I've done it fifteen times since then. I like the beer, but I had decided it wasn't very "IPAish." This was decided as part of my exploration of using a...

I brewed a favorite recipe today. I brewed my JB Gold recipe that was designed to show off John Bull extract and East Kent Goldings and Stryian Goldings. John Bull extract hasn't been around for a while and and now you mostly find Celeia instead of Stryian Goldings. I don't know why I found...
