So I've used brun water countless times in the past. However, I feel like the estimated mash ph for this brown porter isn't making sense right now. Here is my grain bill.
10 lbs 5.0 oz Golden Promise (Simpsons) (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 81.3 %
1 lbs Pale Chocolate (225.0 SRM) Grain 2 7.9 %
12.0 oz...
Sounds like your aiming for a scotch ale with your flavors. Do some googling of other scotch ale recipes and tweak it to your liking.
I'd recommend adding the syrup a couple days into the fermentor straight into the primary. I've had good luck maintaining some maple flavor with that. Sure the...
Nah I'm not interested in distilling. I just know this is a crazy idea and was interested in taking it even further. I know it will probably taste like crap but it's just an experiment trying to blow through the bag. We'll see what happens.
Soooo I have a bag of briess flaked corn I'd like to cruise through and was thinking about doing an out there experiment. I was thinking about mashing with 100% flaked corn. I was going to use amylase enzyme as well. Would this be a possibility.
Also, I've never done much with freeze...
I really got my entire NEIPA technique from the thread in the recipe section. Awesome info there. I generally keep the base recipe the same and play around with different hop combos.
Frootwood! Cherry ale aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels (Same as CBS). Surprisingly good. Wasn't a fan of Lizard of Koz, literarily tasted like blueberry cough syrup so I was nervous about another fruit barrel aged beer. But this is nice

Does the honey need to be sanitized or can it go straight into the fermentor?
I was thinking about going almost braggot levels (toward 40 %)
So at the Founders cellar raid last year I had a one time beer they did called barrel aged honey stuff. Really one of the best dessert beers I've ever had. Very sweet so I can see how it would be off putting to some but I thought it was amazing. It was a light honey ale aged in bourbon oak...
Or any other requests from Michigan. Frootwood is the new backstage beer from founders. Cherry ale aged in maple syrup bourbon barrels. Would like some of the harder to find IPAs (Pliney, Heady, etc) or possibly stouts.
