Lambic? I am curious

Heineken (and most Belgian beer) tastes like crap anyway. I want a beer that will kick me in the teeth with flavor. I've tried beer from Avery, Deschutes, Heavy Seas, Caldera Brewing Co, Flying Dog... You name it, I've probably tried it; from Pale Ales to Barley Wines. I want a beer that'll...

Ja, this is my first brewing and I followed as the recipe said so I'm hoping it isn't too bad. I'm thinking that maybe I should start another batch soon for Christmas. It's tradition that our family shares our brew and I wouldn't want to disapoint my father with an unsavory beer, especially...

It was suggested that I post this as a separate thread so: Here's a question that I was curious about. Is it necessary to use dry malt base if you're already using a liquid malt extract? I used three pounds of light liquid extract and am expecting about 4 gallons of beer. The recipe was...

Maybe skunky isn't the correct word. The imported Urquell has a bitter-sweet finish, I suppose that's the best way to describe it. I'm enjoying one right now. Okay, here's what I used for my recipe: 3.3 Pounds Light Malt Extract 3.5 Gallons of Water 3 oz Saaz 1 oz yeast 1 Chuck Norris...

Yeah, I think that PU (no pun intended) has a rather skunky flavor to it. It's been around 56F since for the past 18 hours or so. If I'm remembering correctly that should be pretty good temp for lagering.

I've started a batch of generic pilsner and I used Saaz to give it a skunky flavor. Now this is my first batch and I'm really curious as to how it'll turn out. I'm hoping for something along the lines of a Pilsner Urquell or the like. Any comments?

Holy Moses!! That's incredible! I wish my batch had a fraction the activity yours does! I've only got a couple inches of krauesen.

Here's a question that I was curious about. Is it necessary to use dry malt base if you're already using a liquid malt extract? I used three pounds of light liquid extract and am expecting about 4 gallons of beer. Am I going to be disappointed? Wait...I can make beer?!

I too, have just started my first brew ever. Although I may have killed some, if not most of my yeast because I forgot to ice my wort. It was still about 90F when I pitched my yeast but I have a nice thick krauesen on it so I'm not too worried. Wait...I can make beer?!
