The hops are specified on the label.

I was looking for M-43 clone recipe, and here is what i came up with. Looking for recommendations : 9lbs Pilsner 2lbs Wheat 2lbs Flaked oats (guy from the actual brewery suggested to use more oats) 1 oz Amarillo - boil 60 minutes Hop stand 15 minutes @180F: 0.5 oz Calypso 0.5 oz...

Thank you. I will be adding 10 ml to 3.75 gallons of mash water

Hello all, Is this good water to brew Saison with (Meijer spring water)? Should I dilute it with 1-2 gallons of distilled? Bicarbonate 260 Calcium 79 Chloride 15 Magnesium 26 Sodium 8 Sulfate 24 Alkalinity 260 pH 7.92 Another option is to use Ice Mountain: Bicarbonate 95...

Hello, 6 or so weeks ago I attempted to brew 5.5G batch of Saison Dupont clone. All Grain. I did achieve calculated gravity due to poor efficiency and ended up adding 0.5 of corn sugar and 0.5 of Belgian candy sugar. Starting gravity: 1.062 Measured final gravity: 1.016 I used 3724...

Gravity measured 1.020 today. I decided to pull it out of the basement for D-rest. Taste boring. No bitterness from hops, no aroma from the grain (since it is extract). Kinda syrupy and heavy. Hopefully warmer temperatures bring the gravity down. Missing classic lager zing, but no ale yeast...

Thanks for interesting advise!

Syrup - LME equivalent Solids - DME... this would explain the difference between the two

First time I used different brew kettle with no marking. Typically I use the other one which was measuring volume correct. What parameters does rice solids have? It must be between DME and sugar, right? I guess water is off and I didn't add enough. I was afraid to add more, because of the...

Well I used my bottling bucket to measure 5 gallons. Than I added extracts and rice. Usually it would bump the amount to 5.5 gallons. Typically I boil off 0.5 gallon in 60...70 minutes. So the water amount going in was correct. I might screwed up calculation in beersmith. I think it was...

Hi all, I was given Brewers Best Kolsch kit, but decided to make American lager instead using same ingridients plus rice solids. I got recipe from How to Brew by John Palmer: Typical American Lager Beer Malts: 3.5 lbs. of pale DME 1.5 lbs. of dry rice solids (powder) BG for 3...

anyone?

I also have 0.25 lbs Belgian Cara 45 0.25 lbs Belgian Special B and 1 lbs Dark Belgian Candi sugar However, I wasn't planning to make a dubbel.

Hi guys, I am planning to make a double batch (10 gallon) with my buddy and split it onto (2) fermentors. He is not a real craft brew drinker and doesn't like hoppy beers. Even pale ale is a little bit too much. He wants to make beer, that his friends would enjoy too. (not hoppy and not dark)...
