That is a useful tip, but what I failed to mention is that I've got a ton of frozen blackberries harvested from my backyard which inspired the plan, and I'll be using them. (Last year we did a blackberry barleywine.) I'm planning to camden 'em.

Hi folks, The roomie and I are having a party at the end of the summer and, among other things, are going to show off the new kegging set-up with four brews on tap. Three of them (Ed's Apfelwein, Vanilla Chocolate Porter, and a DFH 60-minute clone) are underway, but I've still got one more...

I am looking to brew a blackberry wheat and was thinking about starting with this recipe then racking onto the blackberries in secondary. Do you think that will work alright or would a different recipe be better for this purpose? In general, I have great faith in all things EdWort. :) Thanks!

Dropping mine off later this week... Does anyone know if you still have to package it up in a box if you're just dropping them off in person, or can I just hand them a 4-pack?

I'm looking to make a Blackberry Wheat and this seems like it might be a good recipe to work from. Do you think I could just swap the 3# of peach for blackberry? My one concern is sanitizing. I was thinking I'd have to boil the fruit at least briefly, but it sounds like you didn't do anything...

That description is, I believe, from their "Triple Matured", not the regular one, which seems to list different ingredients (golden promise and crystal malt, phoenix hops). Unfortunately, in either case, I don't know how to turn the grains+hops into a recipe. I should take this to one of the...

*laugh* Well, I started with just "Brewing in Boston", but then decided to go all out with the alliteration. Not too many replies, though. Clearly I need to include a photo next time. ;) So I hosted a potluck tonight and had fun showing off my beer, which people quite enjoyed, even if my...

It would indeed be nice to have all of that information. :) I'd like to do an Innis & Gunn clone, which is a (bourbon) oak-aged English Strong (or Pale, depending on where you look) Ale. All I know are some ingredients: Golden Promise and Crystal Malt grains and Phoenix hops. And of course...

Good tip about the software. I'd figured I'd post the ingredients to a relevant forum and someone with more experience than me could figure something out. I may do that anyway, since I'm not sure I'd trust my calculations given my limited experience. I haven't actually made the apfelwein...

Greetings, Sitting here waiting for various sanitizing cycles to complete so that I can bottle, I figured it was a good time to finally say hello. I've been brewing for about two years, having apprenticed with my roommate, who's been brewing for around fifteen. (He's an all-grain snob, so I...
